This fabulous property is located in the picturesque Ardbear Peninsular, only 2 miles from Clifden, the Capital of Connemara.
Sycamore Cottage is a perfect house for entertaining, spacious bright open plan kitchen/dining room and a large reception room which is suitable for families, couples or friends wishing to get away from it all. Children of all ages will love this property with its large garden and swing set.
Take in the country air while enjoying a glass of wine on the patio area - the ideal spot for dining al fresco during the long summer evenings. Have the best of both worlds at Sycamore Cottage - the peace of the countryside yet still within proximity to Clifden Town Centre.

Sessions of music, song, and dance are held nightly in most of the local pubs, where young and old, tourist and local, blend to create a unique atmosphere.
