Accommodation and Fishing Rates 
Over twenty years ago, Roy and Sorcha Peirce chose to make their home at Grasshopper Cottage on the shore of Lough Corrib. They had been visiting Corr na Móna for many years prior to the move to enjoy for themselves the excellent brown trout fishing and other attractions of the area. The decision to open their home to guests was taken in 1990 and they set about turning the Cottage in to a fishing lodge designed to cater for the needs of the game angler and, in 1998, were one of the founding  members of The Great Fishing Houses of Ireland.

 Warm, comfortable rooms with central heating, most with views of the lake, en-suite bathrooms (no smoking in bedrooms)

Home-cooked food using fresh ingredients and produce from the garden including home-made jams and chutnies. Dinner is available – 24 hours notice preferred

Free WiFi access available for guests

Direct access to the lake with boats and engines for hire (life jackets supplied), gillies/guides arranged (advance booking recommended)

Rod room, adjacent to the house, with rod racks, drying room, freezer, storage for wet gear, flies/tackle for sale

Comprehensively stocked fly tying desk for guests’ use

Selection of books, magazines, videos on fishing and other topics

Gillie/guide service on Lough Corrib and other waters and, most importantly, local knowledge of where to fish and when, both on the lough and on other waters in the area. 

Anglers from all over the world come to the Cottage to experience the beauty of the surroundings, the superb fighting quality of the wild brown trout, and to make new friendships both with local people and other visiting anglers. Many fishermen return each year to renew their acquaintance with “the Corrib”, as it is called, to pit their wits against the wily trout and relax and enjoy the hospitality offered by Roy and Sorcha.

Visitors, other than anglers, are also welcome at the Cottage and they can explore and experience the natural beauty of the Joyce Country region and Connemara and engage in various activities including walking, cycling, golf, horse riding etc. 

Whatever brings you to Grasshopper Cottage you can be assured of a warm welcome.
