Galway Sanctuary: Galway

Set in the heart of 'Blazer's Country', welcome to a calming sojourn surrounded by lush meadows on all sides and dotted with wildflower gardens. Indeed, this is a superb destination for extended family, corporate groups, team building and intimate celebrations.

Conveniently positioned on the fringes of the quaint village of Craughwell and within 20 minutes of Galway city centre.

Immersed by 10 acres of meadow and wildflower gardens, our unique property is accessed via a beech-lined drive and provides guests with absolute privacy and seclusion.

Overlooking Rahasane Turlough (winter lake), the house is adjacent to the largest Turlough in Ireland, comprising c. 690 acres of unspoiled nature reserve, with a crystal clear river (Dunkellin) running through it during the summer months.

Boasting unique flora and fauna, the Turlough is of ecological
significance as one of only two large Turlough's which still function naturally in Ireland.

It's the essential Turlough for birdlife in the country. The Turlough is accessed through a small quarter gate at the back of the meadow.

The village of Craughwell, and railway station is within 1.5 km. The railway station is on the Galway/Limerick line, and boasts a journey time of 25 minutes to Eyre Square, in the heart of the Medieval City of Galway, (gateway to Connemara).

Property is beautiful!

Well stocked with quality appliances and comfortable furniture. Large and very clean.

The grounds are lovely and private.

A kind welcome of fresh cakes and a tour by the owner was very appreciated.

Pool table, jukebox etc were amazing for nights in.

Property is secluded and roads not really suitable to walk along so a car is essential for shops etc.

The house is better than the photos!!

Lovely house in a beautiful peaceful setting. Everything was spotlessly clean and it's very well equipped with quality appliances. Everything is catered for-it was even stocked with free bottled water. It is open plan and very spacious. We enjoyed sitting out on the bedroom balcony upstairs in the mornings. The views from all windows at Turlough are stunning. The log fire was lovely. Having internet access was a great bonus as was having the BBC channels. The caretaker is on hand and is very nice & helpful and she brought us home made scones which was a lovely gesture. The nearby river seems little explored and has some decent sized pike. We have a vacation rental ourselves and have stayed at many holiday rentals. This was one of the best.

Fabulous few days spent here with our group of friends. Every amenity thinkable available on site. All the little extras made our stay very enjoyable. 8 adults & 9 children in our group; all very comfortable & everyone had amazing time both inside the house & in the lovely grounds. Spotless condition. Lovely quirky touches & memorabilia coupled with modern conveniences & luxurious bathrooms. Stunning views. Highly recommend. Looking forward to returning to this beautiful house in it's wonderful setting!
