Practically on an island, this spectacular waterfront property is situated on the sheltered side of a circa 120 acres land mass. There is, however, direct road access to a narrow stretch of land to Rosnakilly. This luxurious rental benefits from direct shore frontage complete with mooring buoy for those who wish to bring their boat. At high tide, the sea is no more than 4 metres from the front gate and 35 metres from the house itself.
The lush 12-acre site stretches back up behind the residence, rising to a hill with breathtaking views South to Murrisk and Croagh Patrick, West to the numerous islands of the Bay and Clare Island and North towards Newport and the spectacular Nephin mountains.

"Perfect Family Getaway" We were lucky enough to spend a magical week in here in early August. From the moment you take the turn off the main Greenway Road you know you are in for an adventure!! The welcome we received from the owners Anne & Ray was second to none. The house itself is something very special.....so spacious & luxurious!! This house is much loved by its owners and it shows in every detail of every room!! The views will stay in your mind for a long time after you return home!! The neighbours are so friendly and generous with their time, and if you are really lucky you might be offered some fresh Mackerel to take home to cook!! There is so much to do within your surroundings at Croibh Inis, for example if you are lucky with the weather there is Paddle Boards for the water, a bike for the Greenway, a hidden pebble beach over the hill at the back of the property or, if you just want to chill and take in the views there is ample garden seating and manicured lawns to just sit & spend a few leisurely hours!! The house is also in such an excellent location, halfway between Westport & Newport with a perfect view of Croagh Patrick. I cannot recommend this place enough, seeing really is believing!! After a long lockdown of not seeing or spending time with our family.....this really was a tonic for all of us. Memories were made! Thanks again Anne & Ray

What a magical place This is without doubt one of Ireland's hidden gems. The house and it's contents are impeccable. The neighbours are wonderfully chatty and welcoming. We used the kayak and paddle board every day in this safe and peaceful bay. Forget the Greenway, a cycle around the endless roads in Clew Bay will keep you happy for hours. Croagh Patrick and Westport are only down the road and a one hour trip to Achill's Keel beach is a must. I don't think myself and my family have had a better holiday in Ireland.....why would you go abroad! Thanks again. Colin & family.

"Wonderful" Beautiful house which sits sympathetically in the wonderful surrounding landscape and we loved everything about our holiday there. On arrival we were warmly greeted by Anne and Raymond. Fresh flowers, fruit, home baked cakes, as well as other well thought out touches, were awaiting us. The kitchen is extremely well stocked for those of us who like to cook, too The house is a dream and we spent some time wandering around and staring out of the windows before settling down, with a glass of wine, on the balcony. Evensong, from the birds, and gently lapping water provided the soundscape. The following morning we were delighted to see a variety of birds on the feeders, at the back of the house, which entertained us as we ate breakfast. Goldfinches, greenfinches and chaffinches were amongst the visitors. During our stay we enjoyed a various trips out and about, but also loved the walk along the isthmus, joined by either Oscar or Sammy, two local dogs! We made sure we were back most evenings to take up our places at the dining room window and watch the changing light. I won’t attempt to describe it, you have to be there! But the most ethereal view was from the top of the hill, at the back of the house, across Clew Bay. A view which stopped us in our tracks and which has filled our thoughts every day since. Spectacular. Croibh Inis is something else. Something very special. We miss you.
Many thanks to Raymond and Anne for the loan x

"Amazing place" Thank you to both Ray and Anne for having exceeded our expectations. What better than smelling a delicious rhubarb crumble in the oven or fresh flowers to feel welcome? No need to talk about the amazing scenery just outside the windows or the very luxurious house.We had a situation and they really helped us in a big way we were blessed. They will know what i am talking about. Thank you so much for everything. Just one thing we know that it is your own home we can not miss that ;-)
