Eco-friendly house beside the sea in the wildness and solitude of Connemara

Teach Greine is a Eco-friendly dormer bungalow (2700sq feet) on its own grounds. Heated by solar power, a heat recovery system and excellent insulation makes it a warm and comfortable house. Organic paints and natural oils were used through out the interior. The main entrance door leads into a sun porch with a wooden spiral stair leading to the upstairs. The sun porch leads into the kitchen/dining area which has fitted wooden units, beech worktop and a work island. The kitchen has a Rayburn range, four gas hob rings, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, kettle, toaster, with a ample supply of crockery and utensils. The dining room has a table and six chairs and a sideboard. This leads into the sitting room which has magnificent views of the sea, rocky shoreline and mountains. It has a sofa and four large comfortable chairs, TV , piano, large coffee table and a cut-stone fireplace. In keeping with the Eco friendly ethos, Bamboo flooring is used in the kitchen/dining and sitting room areas. Off the sun-porch is a cloak room for hanging coats which leads into the downstairs shower/toilet and wash-hand basin room. The utility room off the sun-porch has a large sink, washing machine, fridge/freezer, ironing board and iron. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a pull out hot press. There is a landing area which has a table and chair where you can enjoy the magnificent views of the sea and mountains. The west bedroom with a view of the sea has a double and single bed with a walk in wardrobe. The south bedroom has a double and a small single bed and open shelves for the wardrobe. The north bedroom has adult bunk beds with a view of the sea through the velux windows and open shelves for the wardrobes. All bedrooms have bedside lockers and bedside lamps. Wooden floors are in all the bedrooms, bathroom and landing. The bathroom has a small whirlpool bath, toilet and wash hand basin.
The house is surrounded by gravel with ample space to park and turn a car. It has a picnic table. The acre site includes an abundance of wild flowers and plants aided only by organic methods.

Spectacular

If stunning views, trail walking and a peaceful paradise are what you are looking for this it. Excellent place to breathe deep and decompress while still visiting whatever sites you may want too. We lacked for nothing during our stay, extremely well equipped and Eileen provided great details to make our stay even better than expected.

Nice holiday days in Connemara

We spent a few nights as a family in Eileen's cosy holiday home. Eileen was very easy to reach and welcomed us warmly. The cottage is richly equipped with everything you need. The location is great for various excursions in Connemara and County Galway. We would book the holiday home again at any time if we are in the area.

Excellent place to relax and enjoy the west coast of Ireland

After our pervious week in 2022, we were delighted to return to Eileen's rental house. We were warmly welcomed, and then left to settle in. We appreciated Eileen contacting her "fish man" who came by and we purchased fresh scallops, hake and a fish new to us. We enjoyed the remoteness and the comfort of the house, settling in the big chairs to read and watch the changing views of the bay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to return.

Was great again! 3rd time highly recommended

This was our 3rd stay in the house. Lucky that the time was free sadly only 1 week. Everything was great and fully equipped. We could relax and enjoy the great view. Eileen is a great host. Will try to come again if there is a free spot in the calendar.

Wonderful stay in Connemara

The house is located in a beautiful surrounding, offering gorgeous views of the sea and the Twelve Bens. The house offers everything you need, especially the kitchen is well equipped with spices, pasta, rice.. Don't miss a walk astarting at the Moyrus Cemetrery. It is absolutely amazing. Nearby there is an "honesty box", offering muffins, home made jam, bread, scones. Your bakery for the stay! We can definitely recommend Eilleen's house.

Western hideaway

Views to die for! They bring me back year after year. There is space and comfort in this house. I like the isolation but you need to know that you have to drive to a shop or restaurant. I do miss the access to the garden and sea, now a bit overgrown.

In this beautiful, well equipped house you will feel at home! Eileen has a good taste to decorate the interior in a charming way, even with her own beautiful paintings. The house is situated in a quiet area and has a wonderful sea and mountain view. Everyone will feel comfortable at this place! Looking forward to come back!

Returning the second time, Eileen has been a great host again, everything was very clean, fully equipped incl. Firelogs and wood for the fireplace, detergent for the washing machine, books for reading. View from the house is great, it was nicely warm...so everything was great again.

Great vacation in a perfect house

We visited this house in May 2023 and had a great time. The house is very spacious and has everything you need. The views are just fantastic and if you are looking for a peaceful and calm retreat, this one is for you. We were a bit struggling with the "No Wifi", but actually it helped us relax even more. Just something you just keep in mind when booking this house. We would recommend this house to everyone looking for relaxing time in the great Connemara region.
