Peace & Tranquility in Marble Hill

About Umerafree

Picture of Umerafree Umerafree is a charming two-story cottage in its own sheltered grounds. Backed up by a wood, it overlooks Marble Hill beach, considered one of the finest blue flag beaches in Ireland. The house is full of character with a spacious open plan sittingroom/diningroom with adjacent kitchen, occupying the complete ground floor. There is a large stove which can be opened up, fed on wood or peat, providing a truly cosy atmosphere.

Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms with accommodation for 6 people and a bathroom equipped with bath and electric shower. A cot can be provided on request. The house is also provided with a washing machine with tumble dryer, microwave oven and television.

Marble Hill strand is safe for swimming, boating, angling, surfing or just relaxing on - all this within a few yards of the house!

In nearby Dunfanaghy there are lots of restaurants, coffee shops and pubs, most with live music. During September, Dunfanaghy holds it's annual and very popular Jazz and Blues festival, and there are many other attractions throughout the year. During the day, you may want to take in a round of golf or pitch 'n' putt at Dunfanaghy Golf Club, or take a horse riding lesson at Arnolds Hotel.

Closer to the house, the Shandon Hotel is within walking distance, with restaurant and bar. It also boasts an impressive spa to really treat yourself and unwind, and is really worth a visit.
