Look up on a clear dark night, and the vault of earth's heavens is an awe-inspiring sight.  The multiplicity of stars is daunting, almost impossible to believe that there are on average just three thousand visible to the naked eye from any one location on the planet.

But this nocturnal display is just a fraction of the riches to be found in a cosmos, and the human eye is a poor detector of light.  So we have had to wait for the latest generation of telescopes and space probes, to reveal the universe as it is - and what a view they have captured.  

The Night Sky at Clondanagh

Clondanagh Cottage B&B is perfectly located for Stargazers and Astronomers. Perched on top of a hill in wide and open countryside, under a massive expanse of sky, we have no Light Pollution.

Furthermore we offer free use of our telescope

to our guests, and while we cannot control the weather,  on a clear night - you won't be disappointed.  

Clondanagh Cottage is a member of Shannonside Astronomy Club
