Gorse Cottage is a charming three-bedroom thatched cottage near Oughterard village in the heart of Co Galway and close to the shores of Lough Corrib.
Dating back to the 1800s and extended by the current owner in 2008, this traditional thatched roof cottage now incorporates the original outhouse and is beautifully maintained throughout.
A private electronic gated entrance leads you down an enchanting winding gravel driveway to a parking area at the side of the cottage.
