There are five self catering cottages at Croan and these are available to our guests for week, weekend or midweek breaks throughout the year.

Croan Cottages are fully furnished three bedroom and two bedroom spacious detached holiday cottages. Each holiday home has an open fire, a private furnished patio and barbecue area.

Although the cottages have a traditional style and are on an old estate, they were built recently and have been furnished to an exceptionally high standard, having Failte Ireland's (Irish Tourist Board) highest rating of four stars.

All of our cottages are designated as 'No Smoking'. Smoking is permittted outside.
