Bright, comfortable house in Kinvara, Co. Galway, Ireland
Our house is spacious, comfortable and bright. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms - 3 double beds and 1 single - and an office. Downstairs there is a large kitchen/living room connected by double doors to a comfortable sitting-room. The kitchen looks right out onto the countryside. There is a garden at the rear of the house with a patio where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Burren.
We are in a small and quiet development of 14 houses in the village. The local shops are just a few minutes walk away. There are pubs, where you can listen to some traditional music, and craft and coffee shops. Burrenbeo is a centre where you can find out all about the Burren region - visit their website at www.burrenbeo.com.
Kinvara is a good base for exploring Galway city, Connemara and County Clare. We are a 40 minute drive away from Galway city and one hour from Limerick. Shannon airport is 50 minutes away from our home.
