Dunloughan Lake Cottage is a lakeside cottage with outstanding views out to the Atlantic coastline in Ireland. The property has been completely renovated and extended in local stone, and the interior has a contemporary feel with an emphasis on light and glass in the reception areas, to maxmise the views, but the house is also cosy, with a dramatic stone fireplace and an Aga in the kitchen.

The property offers four bedrooms – two downstairs (one a mezzanine) and two upstairs – and three bathrooms.
