Cottage
Our 300 year-old thatched Aran fisherman's cottage and adjacent studio have both had a low carbon makeovers. They not only enjoy a stunning elevation over Galway Bay, with Inis Mor and Connemara in the distance, but it are bang up to date and comfortable inside. The studio has a living green roof of Sea Pinks and the cottage, above is thatched with rye. Both have underfloor heating and like all the island, electricity is provided by environmentally friendly windpower.
