Outside areas

The Living room bi-fold doors open onto a stylishly designed patio clad with Liscannor stone and bordered with a sandstone path. A stepping stone sandstone path leads down past the treehouse and on to a loughside patio. Enjoy stunning views of the Turlough, beautiful birds(eagles,swans etc) and sunsets. : )

A gate allows guests access to walk along the Turlough and enjoy the beautiful views it has to offer .

Rahasane Turlough is Europe's largest turlough covering 250 hectares when full. Due to the nature of a Turlough the water level rises and falls depending on the weather. Because of this you can enjoy the view of an ever changing landscape. During dryer spells the turlough is grazed by large herds of horses and cows and sheep which roam freely. It makes for a lovely walk and is very popular with bird watchers due to its variety of bird species including large flocks of beautiful swans. White-tailed eagles can be spotted on occasion..

Check in/Check out times are generally flexible if we don't have other guests booked in on the same day... : )

We stayed at this house with our adult children. We appreciated the bedroom on the first level, our children used the bedrooms upstairs. The host was very attentive and responsive to all requests. The house was very spacious and easily fit the 7 adults we had staying in the house. The landscaping was wonderful, and the sitting area by the lake was a beautiful space that added to the character of the house. Additionally, the host was quick to offer suggestions regarding places to eat and visit while we stayed in the area.

Cette maison était vraiment top top top ! Très grande, au calme, avec une vue imprenable sur des paysages extraordinaires où nous avons même vu des vaches venir boire . Le jardin est sensationnel et parfait pour profiter du calme. L’hôte est extrêmement gentille, disponible et à l’écoute tout au long de notre séjour de deux nuits, nous guidant avec attention. Merci énormément, nous recommandons ce logement sans hésiter !
