Cottage of solitude with stunning Clew Bay views

CALLING all hermits and lovers of solitude — the only house on Inishloy Island in Mayo’s Clew Bay is for sale.

The three-bedroom bungalow/cottage is on a plateau site of 2.5 acres, with views in just about every direction.

The 22-acre island — one of many in Clew Bay, which has the large Clare Island at its mouth for part protection and as a distance marker — is 300 metres from the mainland, where there’s a parking area and a stoney slipway/beach for your boat.
