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 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.

Majestic
Eileen’s Teach Greine property met/exceeded expectations. Was truly eco-friendly and had grand windows and sky lights with majestic ocean and mountain views in Connemara. Eileen herself made the check in easy (despite arriving ~2-3hrs early), and was amazing in maintaining communication in the weeks preceding the visit. Highly recommend Teach Greine!

Beautiful spot in Ireland
We really enjoyed our stay at this house . The scenery from each window was beautiful. My kids loved exploring the outdoors. The area seemed 100% safe and friendly. We appreciated all the condiments and cooking supplies in the fridge and cabinets. Eileen was very personable and helpful in her tour of the house and recommendations. Location is very remote, but it was nice to unwind in such a beautiful setting. We would definitely recommend Eileen’s eco house :)

If you want peace and tranquility, this is your stay! Still close enough to local shops and restaurants if you wish to venture out. The property was charming with the owners own beautiful original art in the house, which encapsulated the feeling you have when you are walking around the landscape, or looking out the window. It was lovely, with an incredible view at every turn. The hostess Eileen was very down to earth and offered up so much invaluable information on the area, where to go for hill walks, best beaches et... It would have taken us hours to try and figure out the best places to go. The house was lovely and warm, fabulous views of the sunrises and sunsets. The amenities were plentiful and we were not in need of anything during our stay. We hope to be back again soon!

A Week in the Connemara Wilds
The house is exactly as advertised and the photos tell the story. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and the splendid views. In fact, we placed ourselves in those big chairs by the bay windows and got lost in the view. We were looking for a private, remote place, near water, a place to read and write and cook. We were very comfortable. Eileen gave us clear directions and met us upon arrival, giving us a thorough description as to how everything worked. It was good to know that she was close by should we need her assistance. Since there was a problem with the boiler, she provided a plug in radiator; on a sunny week it would not have been necessary. Note: there is a shower on the main floor, and a bathtub upstairs; not for anyone who has mobility concerns as there are no grab bars, and it is narrow, though lovely for a deep soak. The surrounding area is beautiful, though walking on these narrow, winding roads takes extreme caution, but as Eileen pointed out, there are many walking trails within reasonable driving distance. We would happily return to Teach Greine, a well-appointed house with stunning views.

A wonderful stay in lovely Letterard
This is our third time staying at Teach Greine, we love it here. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. If you like the sea, nature and outdoor pursuits there is nowhere better. If the weather is a bit damp, this is the perfect place for peaceful indoor pursuits. Eileen is a brilliant host, nothing is too much trouble and she obviously loves Connemara and is happy to share her local knowledge to make a stay more enjoyable. We look forward to returning soon. Thank you
