We are on an island surrounded by sea. The island is joined to the mainland via a set of causeways. Within minutes of the house are a number of beaches and stunning views. The closest beach is Huston Beach, named after the acclaimed film director John Huston who in the 1960s had a small cottage (still there today) overlooking the beach where he painted. There are tales of Marlon Brando and John Huston driving at speed around the islands. His daughter Anjelica visited the island and was schooled at Kylemore Abbey.
The island is sparsely populated and the islanders earn a living by seaweed farming and fishing for the local lobsters and crab. The spoken language on the Island is Gaelic. We have no light or noise pollution, only sound is the sea and sky at night is crystal clear and great for star gazing. The island is a protected environment and truly is wild Ireland.
We are surrounded by other Islands, crumbling stone houses and masses of wildlife and heritage. In the summer you can see the famous Galway hooker boats across the bay. Dolphins, seals, and basking sharks frequent the waters around us
