A perfect property for estuary walks or fishing breaks, this light, bright cottage offers fantastic sea views straight from the living room

A homely, detached character cottage on the edge of the Shannon Estuary offers the perfect getaway for a nature-loving family or group of friends who want to unwind by the coast. Set close to the sleepy hamlet of Moyasta, this rural property offers an abundance of tranquil walking trails and bird-watching opportunities on its doorstep. Golfing enthusiasts shouldn’t miss a trip to the nearby Kilkee Golf Club (5 miles) – the coastal town of Kilkee (4.5 miles) also has a beach, cafes and restaurants. Or visit the historic market town of Kilrush (4.5 miles) to see the Vandeleur Walled Gardens or the Museum of Irish Rural Life. Admire the Atlantic views as you explore the rugged Clare Coastline along The Coast Road (23 miles).

Enter this charming white-washed cottage to find a bright, neutral-toned lounge with a splash of red decor throughout. Natural light pours through the French doors and ample seating for all can be enjoyed while you relax in front of a film and the crackling open fire. The kitchen/diner is spacious and airy with pale walls and flooring. Along one wall is a fitted wooden kitchen with dark surface tops and in the centre of the room is a dining table. Also on the ground floor, you’ll find a bathroom and a double bedroom with an en-suite WC. Climb the stairs to reach a further two bedrooms – a double and a family room with two double beds.

Feel the sea breeze as you gaze out across the estuary which sits just beyond the edge of the garden. Pop open a bottle of bubbly and relax under the parasol while relaxing at the outdoor dining set.
