About this property

Georgian Villa - Lughnasa - Overlooking Palladian Fountain in private Estate

Lughnasa is a beautifully restored Georgian rental perfect for those seeking an idyllic rural stay 20 minutes from Galway City. The villa is a world apart from the bustle of city life and is a great retreat to return to after sightseeing. There is a timeless tree-lined avenue leading into the courtyard and a wonderful sense of history and heritage. Overlooking a Palladian fountain, Lughnasa offers a seamless balance of period features and modern amenities. On the ground floor, guests are greeted with a marble entrance hall leading into a dining room, living room and fully-fitted compact kitchen. Upstairs there are two luxurious bedrooms, one king and one with two single beds, both with jacuzzi bath.

The Caherlistrane region is famous for traditional music heritage and culture and is a hidden gem in the hinterland of Galway City that is proudly preserved and shared by the people of the parish who take great pride is showing off the region.

Nice place and nice stay
We enjoyed our stay and the house was very nice, clean and the beds were comfortable. The only thing we would suggest is a shade over the sky light in one of the bedrooms and little bigger tv in living room area. The house is situated in a nice country setting and very quiet. We loved the scenery and the houses. Our son stayed in the big house with his rugby teammates and was very nice as well. If we ever come back to Ireland we would stay again. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home.

at the time , but our fate was sealed when our bid succeeded and thus
our journey of restoration began and continues
We are delighed to offer guests the experience of enjoying some time
in this unique 18th Century setting and there is a home for everyone
the main house for larger groups, the Heritage Coachouse for max of 6
the Villas each sleep 4 house guests as does the Victorian Gate Lodge
at the entrance. We live in separate accommodation on the Estate
We look forward to welcoming you to this very Special West of Ireland experience and share with you our rich Heritage
