Lose yourselves in views out across the North Atlantic as you unwind in the sunshine with your favourite four-legged friend. This spacious cottage, near Bunowen Beg, 1.5 miles from Ballyconneely in County Galway nestles right on the coast. Sleeping eight guests, the three-bedroom holiday home is ideal for a large group seeking dog-friendly accommodation for that special stay or celebration.

Return from country walks to follow your furry friend inside and find yourselves in the welcoming, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its wooden ceiling, tiled floor and galleried landing above. Light an open fire in the stone chimney breast. Let your contented canine stretch out while you watch TV, choose a DVD or look up some picturesque dog walks for the following day. Rustle up group feasts in the kitchen and feed your hungry hound here too. Gather round the table to dine while he sleeps off his own doggy dinner. A utility room and a separate WC are also down here, together with a king-size bedroom and a double bedroom, each with an en-suite shower room. Give your chum a final stroke before bed then make your way up to the first floor. The landing here doubles as a second lounge, with more comfortable seating and another TV. A family bedroom, with a double bed and a single bed, is here too, along with a family bathroom. Take your pal out for a breath of fresh air and to stretch his legs before breakfast. Have coffee out in the sunshine as he waits quietly for everyone to be ready for the big adventure of the day. Ample private parking is also available.

Stride straight out from the cottage to follow fabulous walking routes. Head 8 miles to Dog’s Bay where your happy hound can race across the white sand all year round.

This is a beautiful large house with everything you need for a great holiday. Off season when we stayed it was really warm with excellent heating. Plenty of hot water for all the bathrooms and a great kitchen with every appliance you could need. I really recommend a stay here its our second visit and we will return.

Perfect location for a quiet, relaxing break. The open fire is magnificent! A really outstanding feature. The photos don't do it justice. A great open feel to the whole house. The mezzanine lounge with comfortable sofas and satellite tv (if you need it!) is a lovely space. There were only 2 of us, but this probably would suit a much larger partRead morey. Hide

Spacious and comfortable property with lots to see and do in the area. We visited in summer but once it had been fixed the heating was very effective and would be ideal for anyone wanting a winter holiday there as well. Could use a little updating here and there but that's true of most rental property so not really a factor. We tried lots of cafes Read moreand pub/restaurants nearby and could not find fault with the food anywhere. If you want to visit the area, this house is well worth a visit. Hide
