An Nead
Listen to the sounds of birds chirping in the morning sun or wind rustling through the reeds at your half-door in An Nead, our cosy blue-bangor slate roofed stone-faced cottage located in Cnoc Suain’s secluded residential quarter.
Favoured by couples, solo travellers, visiting writers and ecologists, An Nead radiates warmth and character through handcrafted furniture and thoughtful, creative interiors - the perfect artist’s retreat!
While it is ideally situated for exploring the surrounding spectacular Connemara region - and Cnoc Suain’s 200 acre nature sanctuary - this home-away-from-home charms guests into staying curled up on the couch in front of the fire with a good book or a board game on those wilder west-of-Ireland-weather days.
