About this property
Newbridge 3 miles. Mountbellew 7.4 miles. Forest view is a lovely, detached holiday home that rests just a short distance from the quaint, rural village of Newbridge and only 7.4 miles from the market town of Mountbellew. Boasting ample off-road parking space, enclosed gardens, and an array of tasteful interiors, this charming holiday property welcomes a family or group of sharing friends to enjoy a relaxing, self-catered escape to the beautiful Irish countryside. Park up, unpack and settle into your delightful new dwelling. Set the chosen chef to work in the fully-equipped kitchen/diner, complete with all the appliances they'll need to whip up a hearty, home-cooked meal that can be savoured around the dining table. After you've finished your dinner, retreat to either of the two sitting rooms, where you can relax and unwind making them the perfect spots to get lost in a good book or catch up on the day's events with your loved ones. When sleep finally calls, refresh with a rejuvenating shower or a long soak in the bath before you hunker down for a well-earned slumber in one of the three double bedrooms. After you've finished your morning coffee whilst soaking in views of your wonderful surroundings in the garden, head out and explore what your local area has to offer. A brief drive will bring you to the market town of Mountbellew, where you can stock up on essentials at the numerous grocery stories or stop for a coffee in one of 3 locations before trying your hand at a round of golf set amongst some beautiful woodland. Several noteworthy attractions can be found a brief car journey from your front door, such as The Shire Country Manor in Morginure, the peaceful waters of Lough Lurgeen, the picnic spot of Glenamaddy Turlough, the hiking trails of the Frass Englishtown Green Way Walk, these are just some to mention. Whatever you choose to do during your next stay in County Galway, do it from Cloonshivna.
The little rural community of Creggs can be found in the northwest of County Galway, not far from the County Roscommon border. Despite having a small population, Creggs is surrounded by lush, beautiful countryside, giving visitors a true taste of rural life. The bustling town of Roscommon is only a short drive from the village, which also features a local store, a tavern that serves meals, and a fish and chip restaurant. Why not head to the Lough Rea shoreline to try your hand at fishing or rent a boat along the Shannon? Strokestown House and Gardens, which also houses the Irish Famine Museum, is also easily accessible. Just over an hour away are the mediaeval, cobbled streets of Galway, where you can enjoy delectable seafood cuisine, authentic Irish music, and "the craic." The West and North West of Ireland may be explored well from Creggs.
