About this property
Artists Cove Perfect location in the Heart of Kinvara Explore and Unwind.
'Artists Cove' is a delightful Cottage ideally situated right in the heart of the Village of Kinvara which overlooks Galway Bay.
This quaint Old Cottage that has been lovingly restored to cater for modern living but still harbours the old traditional feeling with a few extra surprises to explore.
With Three Bedrooms ( 2 Large Doubles and 1 Single/ Double) the house can accommodate 6 Adults. Its ideal for Families, Groups, Couples or just Friends who want their own special place to stay but in a tranquil village setting.
The House is surprisingly large with ground Floor living area, comprising of Large Sitting Room with a Log burning fire, Music Centre and TV. Dining area with its own Kitchenette for added convenience.
A large Double Bedroom on the ground floor which lends itself well for elderly or small Children with Toilet / Shower situated just beside for added comfort.
The Kitchen is fully Equipped with Electric Cooker, Fridge, Microwave, Dishwasher and Washing Machine.
The Property opens out to its own Garden area where you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon on the Sun Lounger or enjoy your meals on the terrace.
Upstairs there are Two Bedrooms, the Master Double Bedroom with its own unique style.
The Single Bedroom has two single Beds which can be used for 2 people sharing but one person comfortably. Again there is an upstairs bathroom and toilet to help a busy household.
The property has Electrical Storage heaters throughout for instant heating and comes fully equipped for a very enjoyable stay.
With local shops, restaurants, health food, pharmacy and amenities on your doorstep you can enjoy the traditional Irish music and nightlife, and the tranquil serenity of the unique landscape of the Burren Mountains.
With close proximity to the Beach, Traught Beach is 10 Minutes drive, there is a host of outdoor activities, water sports and family-friendly activities. With the Historic 'Dunguaire Castle' only a Five Minute Stroll along the Bay.
We are 40 mins drive from Shannon airport, and Kinvara offers daily buses to and from the lively city center of Galway and ‘Cliffs of Moher’
You’ll love Artists Cove if you can throw yourself into the artistic, musical atmosphere, and serene ambience of this friendly community.
The village of Kinvara dates back to the early thirteenth century with many historical sights to be discovered. Dunguaire Castle is located on a rocky outcrop within view and a short walk of the picturesque Harbour. It is said to be the most photographed castle in Ireland. The house is suitable for business travellers, Family her together or even Coupled on a romantic break. An exceptionally special retreat for artists, musicians, photographers, yogis and ramblers.
We fill 'Artists Cove' with light love and laughter and hope that this feeling emanates from all four corners of the house. We keep a clean and tidy house to ensure you can enjoy to the fullest, all the comforts of your own home away from home.
The Cottage is made for enjoying the delights of homemade food, and fine wine, shared with old friends and good conversation; Long walks on sunny days, and cozy nights in with a book by the fire; being inspired by art, music and culture and recharging the batteries with early morning yoga and a cool sea breeze.
We hope that by staying here you will enhance your holiday with a taste of our most treasured experiences, and that those who enter as strangers leave as friends.
