The house looks out over Galway Bay and the Atlantic Ocean over to Rabbit, Mutton and Hare islands. At night the Leveret Lighthouse, the main light for Galway Harbour, twinkles in the distance. Oranmore Bay, Renville Spit, and the Clare coastline are all within view. Roscam round tower is close by, built from hammered stone, cemented from lime and sand mortar.
