By the beach in ‘Bofin
Inis Bo Finne means Island of the White Cow, and is at its loveliest at this time of year, particularly when the sun is shining. The island, accessible by ferry from Cleggan village, is designated a special area of conservation on account of its outstanding natural beauty and preservation of a way of life that exists in very few other places. Beach Cottage is – as its name suggests – located right by the beach, and sits in a spectacular landscape with magnificent views of the Atlantic. The house was built to a high specification in 2004, and is a stylish and characterful home. The property is fully furnished and has been meticulously maintained throughout, with the original stone barn adjacent to the property restored and retained.
