'Curlew Cottage' is a home which is rare and beautiful in a part of the word where nature and outdoors prevail. Sitting on Roundstone Bay with a direct view to Roundstone village and across to Inis Nee, this cottage is a haven of peace and tranquillity. The four bedroom property, tucked away from the passing world, is 200 meters off the public road and approached over a lane way which leads past an original cart house, now a boat shed, a traditional stone built shed under a tiled roof. Turning the corner the vista opens with a well kept garden to the left and stunning view of the sea to the wonderful Connemara landscape.
