About this property

Athenry 6 miles. This delightful detached cottage is situated six miles from the medieval heritage town of Athenry in County Galway. This modern, four bedroom property boasts spacious and bright living accommodation, providing plenty of room for a family group or for friends looking to get together in this lovely part of the Emerald Isle. Set over two floors, the open plan living area offers a stylish well-presented kitchen which leads through to the dining and sitting areas, where you can stretch out in front of the multi-fuel stove at the end of a busy day. The conservatory offers a second area for dining, a lovely room to sit and wonder at the rolling countryside and where you will find a spot for star-gazing later in the evening. With a second sitting room offering a place to get away from it all, there is plenty of space for everyone. The ground floor offers a double bedroom with an en-suite jacuzzi bath and shower room, together with a main family bathroom. Upstairs you will find three further bedrooms, which also boast fully marble tiled en-suites offering a choice of power or raindrop shower heads. Outside, the patio offers wonderful views, the perfect place to enjoy an alfresco breakfast before you set off for the day’s travels, or take time to relax and unwind in peaceful surroundings at the end of a busy day. On a fine day, you may even catch a glimpse of Croagh Patrick Mountain, an important site of pilgrimage in County Mayo. Galway City is just a short drive from this idyllic holiday home, as is the stunning coastline, the spectacular west coast and the range of beaches that this part of Ireland has to offer. Whatever time of year you visit, you will be assured a warm welcome and a wonderful Irish experience.

Athenry is a medieval heritage town in County Galway in the west of Ireland. The town's charter was granted in 1235 and has town walls dating from 1310, of which approximately two thirds still remain. Athenry Castle dates from the 13th century and retains a three storey tower which now houses an exhibition area. The town has an abundance of shops, bars and restaurants and is home to Athenry Golf Club. The city of Galway is just 15 miles away and has a large selection of attractions and is regarded as one of the best tourist destinations in Europe. The coastline and beaches of the west of Ireland are just a short drive away, making Athenry a superb holiday destination for touring this beautiful part of Ireland.

    Very pleasant house, spacious, bathroom in each bedroom. We recommend this place for rental

  • Carol

    House was beautiful and well maintained. Love the sunroom in the mornings. John was a great host, seemed more like a friend than just the owner. He was very helpful before and during our stay. The house is in a perfect location as a home base to see most of Ireland. I like the countryside and the neighborhood dog that dropped by.. so cute. All in all best vacation.. thank you John!!!!!

  • Thomas

    Lovely spacious property with plenty of room and all the facilities you could need. Excellent off street parking and garden. Remote so you need a car but lovely and quiet and still easily accessible to Galway (20 mins). Ideal for families with young children. John was always on the emails checking we were ok and couldn’t be more helpful. We hope to stay again for the rally next year! Thank you
