The cottage sits just outside the village of Tarbert at the 'back of the hill' which overlooks Kilpadogue and the River Shannon which divides East and West.
It is situated on a pretty slope overlooking one of the prettiest parts of the Shannon, from here the Shannon car ferry crosses to Killimer, County Clare.
The property sits in its own grounds of just under 2 acres. There is plenty of room in the grounds for the children to play, whilst you relax soaking up the views of the river Shannon and the coast line of County Claire in the distance.

Beach:
In front of the cottage there is a stony trail which takes you down through three fields to the secluded stony beach. When on the beach and walking in the direction of the peninsular, you will notice the cliffs start forming amazing rock formations and offer a nice place to sun bathe on the smooth flat rock, or perhaps take a break from the sun and seek the shade that these rock formations also offer.
The beach is ideal for sunbathing as it is secluded, also for long walks and cooling your feet in the sea water or to check out the rock pools. You can walk from the cottage to the beach in about 10 to 15 minutes. The coastal walk along this shore offers fabulous and unparalleled scenery in both directions. There is also a large sandy beach beach at Ballybunion.
