The views from the house, and in particular from the open-plan Living and Kitchen room, are mesmerising and change constantly with the evolving seasons.

Also, on the ground floor are two further beautifully appointed bedrooms, both with ensuites. The main bedroom also has the benefit of a substantial walk-in wardrobe.

The open-plan living and kitchen area is ideal for both daily living and entertaining guests and takes full advantage of the surrounding landscape with big, expansive windows.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS: A PEACEFUL SANCTUARY The grounds of Castle Terry Cottage are a blend of wooded areas that give shelter all year round from the Western shores of Lough Conn. Standing on approx. 2 hectares/ 5 acres of lands makes it suitable for grazing for a small animal, or for cultivating home grown vegetables and fruit. It nestles on the shores of the majestic Lough Conn, which has a splendid reputation for brown trout and salmon fishing dating back to the very beginning of angling in the west of Ireland. Historically, Lough Conn did also have a sizeable Arctic char population. The Lough comprises 14,000 acres and measures 14.5km (9 miles) from north to south. Lough Conn is the natural choice in the country for many international fly-fishing competitions a measure of its reputation for producing fish. The lake's 'May fly' season draws anglers from around the world, while salmon fishing, primarily by trolling, is best from the end of March to July. The surrounding area, along with its wildlife and natural beauty, makes this a truly exceptional location for those who appreciate the outdoors.
