Exclusive serviced accommodation for larger groups of up to 19 guests, a substantial property for small events and extended family get-togethers. Situated on Headford road, a mere 20 minutes from Galway city, this is an early Georgian Manor with inspiring views over its own private Lake.
Circa 1720, this stunning country manor nestles on an exclusive 200 acres of undulating countryside dotted with beautiful woodlands- a place of enchantment awaiting discovery. The overlapping Beech tree-lined avenue heralds your arrival as Connemara ponies graze in the front fields. With its unique and historical crannog, the lake is mesmerising and ever-changing. A truly private and stunningly beautiful estate, it offers a magical setting in which to respite and is a world apart, offering the discerning visitor tranquillity, exclusivity and privacy.
There is a variety of accommodations to suit all tastes. The Manor House, sheltered by Oak trees, offers traditional interiors, delicious food and old-style hospitality. Adjacent to the main house, the courtyard villas offer a relaxed 'home from home' experience. The Gate Lodge is an idyllic archery situated at the entrance to the estate and remains unchanged save for the provision of all modern amenities during its restoration.
Georgian Main House Bedrooms There are nine individually designed bedrooms offering superb lake views. Each guestroom offers period furnishings and has a luxurious private bathroom with a shower or bathtub. They are havens for sleeping and dreaming.
Ideal for a weekend away, a cultural tour, a family gathering, a private house rental or a private house party to celebrate in style. It's a perfect size, not too big and yet not too small. Whatever your choice of accommodation, a warm Irish welcome awaits you. You are invited to share a unique Irish heritage experience with delicious home-cooked and healthy food in a beautiful picture postcard setting.
It's an undeniable connection with its history, and Georgian heritage creates an offering not dissimilar to that of Downtown Abbey!

Our group of 19 stayed AT the House plus one of the adjacent courtyard villas for the weekend to celebrate everybody turning 40. We had a fantastic weekend and this is the perfect venue for a reunion. Finola organized catering for us one of the nights and the food was impeccable. It was such a treat to be cooked for and then retire to the drawing room for the evening where the fire kept us cozy all evening. A really memorable weekend and location. We'll definitely be back!

Looking down onto the lake, the pastoral landscape is a joy to behold, either from inside the house or while wandering the fields and by roads of this very special house. Build in the 18 century, it truly is a jewel, the owners have updated the house tastefully, it's warm and comfortable with modern bedding and facilities. We had the pleasure and use of the Manor and one of the Coach Houses, "Inisfree" which is such a cute, cosy 2 bedroom house in the Coach yard. The caterer was superb, Martina cooked monk fish and rack of lamb for us on Saturday night, also a sweet roulade treat, it was ALL OF IT delicious, so totally YUM... honestly you'll love her food.

Myself and 19 others just spent a magical weekend at the main House.
The photos don't do the place justice and we all had goosebumps as we approached the house. It's in a world of it's own, with beautiful furniture, ornate décor, luxurious large rooms with fireplaces to keep cosy. The rooms are spacious, all en suite, very comfortable beds, great showers, good quality bed linen and towels.
We had dinner cooked for us one of the nights and the cooking was top notch, and the kind hosts allowed us to take their horses for a hack. There are peaceful and tranquil walks to take as well.
None of us wanted to leave on Sunday! Will definitely be back, this place is a gem.
