About this property
This lovely semi-detached apartment is situated on the outskirts of the lovely village of Ballinderreen in County Galway. One of two apartments this lovely property is ideal for friends or a small family wishing to get away from it all and relax in a quiet location. From the front door you enter a lovely large room with beamed ceiling where you will find an open plan living area with well-equipped kitchen, dining bar with comfy chairs and a relaxing sitting area. Upstairs there are two delightful bedrooms, all with views of the water, one of which is a double bedroom and the other a twin bedroom, together with a family bathroom.

If you travel from Galway to County Clare on the main road, you will see some of the most stunning scenery. A little further down the road is the village of Kilcolgan and Morans Oyster Cottage which is now a restaurant. Why not explore the local area, walking on the waters edge and see if you can catch any oysters? A perfect area for walkers and there is a pier just five minutes walk from the apartment, where you can enjoy the views and the clear waters. Just a five minute drive away from the apartment is the attractive seaside village of Kinvara where you will find Dunguaire Castle.

Located in between the villages of Kilcolgan and Kinvarra lies Ballinderreen in south Galway. The village has a shop and a pub and is close to the sandy beach at Tracht, and Morans Oyster Cottage, a delightful thatched cottage that has been turned into a charming restaurant. Ballinderreen rests along the main route from Galway to County Clare and encompasses some of the most stunning coastal scenery you will ever see, and will take you as far as the friendly village of Lisdoonvarna, which hosts the annual match making festival.

Its situated in a beautiful area within a short walk to a pier. It's a great location for exploring the area. Mattie the owner came to welcome us when we arrived and was available for any queries. We had a great holiday and would definitely stay here again

The cottage was extremely comfortable with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. Mattie, the owner, who lives next door was very friendly and helpful. The view from the cottage is very beautiful looking down the sea Loch and we enjoyed the short walk to the pier ( We didnât partake of the wild swimming on offer there but enjoyed watching a couple of braver souls ). We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Burren, and a walk along the impressive Cliffs of Moher, as well as a short visit to the museum in Galway and a walk along the river from there to the cathedral. All in all we would thoroughly recommend a holiday to Ireland and Brandy cottage is a perfect base. A car is essential.

The cottage and its facilities were perfect for us, and Mattie & Susan could not have been nicer. All in all, a perfect holiday in a perfect place, which is highly recommended.
