Thonabrucky, Co Galway The three restored cottages have been named after the nearby Aran Islands – 'Ti Mor', 'Ti Mean' and 'Ti Thiar'. They retain a traditional authenticity with white washed walls, Doolin flagstone floors, roughcast plastering, and old Irish style built-in beds and dressers, which all lend to the atmosphere of warmth and cosiness and recreate the look and feel of the past. Ti Mor is particularly spacious, with three bedrooms and a single study bedroom plus living room with its original fireplace, dinning room with open fire and small kitchen (fully equipped), utility and bathroom and shower room. Ti Mean and Ti Thiar are smaller, but no less alluring. The former has a double bedroom and mezzanine twin bedroom, while the latter provides a mezzanine double bedroom. The garden has been landscaped from a wilderness into a haven of rural tranquillity, with roses, clematis and honeysuckle creeping around the old ruins, one of which has been converted into the candlelit garden room and a bar-b-q area which is perfect for evening dining parties. The grounds, which are laid out on the three different levels, are surprisingly extensive and offer potential for further development. The property would make the perfect home for the family who want their children to be reared in a safe and unspoilt country environment but need to be close to schools and recreational activities. Also, this beautiful location would attract artists, musicians and solitude-seekers in search of a timeless country setting, or who need a bolthole to retreat to, to revive their creative juices (and to find their elusive muse).
