Idyllic cottage with its own rowing boat directly at the Shannon

The 300-year-old, lovingly renovated cottage is located in the heart of Ireland, just 4.5 km from Carrick-on-Shannon. It sits on a large natural plot of hilly land directly at the river Shannon, with its own long water front and small harbor, which includes a rowing boat. Apart from the friendly owners, who live, not visible, on the other side of the hilly property and are happy to help and advise, you only have cows and sheep as direct neighbors! On the extensive, partly landscaped, partly natural property you will always find a wind-protected place for your deck chair to enjoy the view of the boats passing by, a brick barbecue, and plenty of room to play games!

Facilities: Living room with satellite TV, CD player, books and games are also available for entertainment. Cozy fireplace room (wooden/natural stone wall), bright winter garden with exit to the terrace. Fully equipped kitchen with stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker and juicer. Two bedrooms, each with a double bed. Sofa bed in the fireplace room. Bathroom with shower/bathtub, bidet and toilet. Second bathroom accessible from the outside with shower and toilet. Washer and dryer inside the cottage. WiFi at no extra charge.

Activities and excursion options: Very good fishing opportunities (pike, bream, eel, etc.) on the river bank of the property, from the rowing boat, or in the surrounding area.
