Architecturally designed house situated in the Burren Lowlands in Co. Galway
Would you like to visit Galway, the 2020 European Capital of Culture? Our home is situated in a quiet rural part of South Galway. It is a 20 minute drive from the Burren and is located just 30 minutes from the Cliffs of Moher. Our home was architecturally designed and built in 2015. It is situated on a 1 and a half acre site of landscaped gardens.The house includes 4 bedrooms, open plan living and kitchen areas, mezzanine, 2 bathrooms and 50sqm external terrace area. The house is built on an elevated site with beautiful views overlooking the Burren Mountains and Galway Bay. The lights of Galway city which is located approximately 35 minute drive away provide a spectacular viewpoint at night. Our house is situated in the foothills of Slieve Aughty which provides ample walking trails and hiking areas. As we have small children, the house contains lots of toys to keep children entertained. It could also be arranged for visitors to spend time exploring our family farm and experiencing the excitement of the summer season on the farm. Alternatively, our home is quite secluded and ideal for visitors who just want to relax while enjoying pamoramic views of the local countryside. We have enjoyed wonderful exchanges in Malmo, Stockholm, Rennes and Bruges and we are very excited about continuing our home exchange adventures. We are open to discuss all offers of exchanges and any time frames during the months of July and August.

FR1005725Grande et belle maison en campagne. En tous points conforme à la description.
Une grande partie de la famille habite à proximité immédiate et ils sont disponibles, si on le souhaite, pour discuter et donner des idées/conseils de sortie. C'est un vrai plus. Nos enfants ont énormément appréciés de jouer avec les leurs!Maison encore plus grande et plus confortable que ne le laisse penser les photos.
Une grande partie de la famille de nos hôtes habite à proximité et sont disponibles en cas de problème mais aussi pour donner des conseils de visite et sortie. Nos enfants ont passé de très bon moments avec les leurs. C'est un vrai plus pour nous qui aimons échanger plus que des maisons...
