Liscoonera House is a unique holiday home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on Ireland's stunning West Coast. It sleeps up to 14 guests.
A large conservatory across the front of the house offers panoramic views of Galway Bay and the Aran Islands.
Situated at the end of a private boreen, the house sits in a truly tranquil setting, enhanced by spacious gardens and pond. It is serviced by an ancient well, traditionally known as "The Well That Never Runs Dry." In the recent past the owner has utilized the home as a meditation retreat for those seeking rest and relaxation in a countryside setting on the coast.

The main house has been restored to its original charm with rugged stone walls and a large feature stone fireplace in the sitting room. This room gives a warm cozy atmosphere for those fireside, story-telling evenings which will transport you back in time.
The kitchen/ dining area is modern and tastefully designed in a country style, offering you everything you need to enjoy your holiday.
