Coffee maker, though I would recommend going to KABO in Letterfrack for the real deal! Small BBQ and outdoor seating. Travel cot and high chair and other children's toys and outdoor wear available on request. House situated at the end of a 1km long road off the N59 main Clifden to Westport road, 50 miles from Galway city. Access the lake and the mountain side through the farm gates (remembering to close them after you please). Other things to note Really good 99s at the Service Station just down the road!!! On the a Wild Atlantic Way - nearest beach is Glassilaun beach - take the road on the other side of the lake all the way until you see the Atlantic in front of you and look for a sign post for Scubadive West - it there you will find it. If you miss it, don't worry, the beautiful Lettergesh beach is just another mile along the road. Owner occasionally uses nearby shed for farm purposes - expect to see baby lambs from 20th April onwards and sheep shearing towards the end of July. Sheep gathering happens a number of times a year with our wonderful collies. Remember to step outside on a clear night and look up - it’s breathtaking!! It might be useful to bring boots or wellies if you would like to explore the surrounding lakeside, hills and bogs. If you expect to arrive late it might be a good idea to bring some food supplies for the morning. There is a small shop and petrol station close by that opens until 6 o clock but the larger Country Store in Letterfrack is about 5 miles away.
