Location: Gort, County Galway, Ireland, Europe (Situated between Galway City and Ennis)

Accommodations:  Home, 4 Bedrooms + Den, 4 Baths (Sleeps 2-8)

New home, just outside Gort, with view of Burren mountains. Intimate enough for just two, it's comfortable for parties up to eight, private, but not isolated. Designed with the view in mind, it offers fantastic vistas from every window.

The sitting room and dining room have french doors that overlook a sloping hillside. The full kitchen is open plan, and offers complete comfort for cooking while you enjoy company. All bedrooms are fully furnished, with room for two in each. All bathrooms are fully tiled, and the one on the ground floor is wheelchair accessible.

The Burren is right before you, with hiking and pony trekking, as well as sight seeing. There are seven golf courses within an hour's drive, as well as the new Gort Golf course, less than three miles away. For those interested in history and literature, the Coole Heritage Center is just outside Gort, and Thoor Ballylee, home of W.B. Yeats, is also minutes away.

Gort, a typical small town, offers a variety of restaurants, including Italian, Chinese, and great Irish meals at the Blackthorn Restaurant. Every weekend, a farmer's market sets up in the town square, and there is a fabulous bakery for pastries and coffee or tea. There is a supermarket at the edge of town, perfect for picking up last minute groceries.

Galway and Ennis are each about half an hour's drive in either direction, with all the amenities they offer. Most major cities, including Limerick and Cork, are close enough to spend a day, then travel home before nightfall. If it's countryside you're looking for, the Coast Road and the Burren offer spectacular views for scenic drives. Fishing and boating along the Shannon River are also nearby. Kinvara is near, great for watersports! All in all, Casa Ballyhugh is the ideal starting place for vacationing in the West of Ireland.

  • Me and my wife stayed at this beautiful home in Gort for a week in May 2006...the house itself is incredible, very spacious with all modern amenities. The location is ideal for exploring Ireland as Galway City and Ennis are only a 30 minute drive. The Burren, Connemara, and the Cliffs of Moher are also within short driving distance. The town of Gort has many pubs and a large market for all your needs. We will definetly return!

  • Our extended family of 8 varying in age from 85 to 15 all gathered in this lovely house just outside Gort. It was a perfect house for all of us. The location was great for day trips to Galway City, Cliffs of Moher and more. We had wonderful family dinners that we prepared in the beautiful kitchen. There was plenty of room for all to have their own space. This house will always be special to me because it helped our family share wonderful memories and create new ones.

  • This was the perfect place for our family’s visit in Ireland. The house was spacious and comfortable providing places to relax for myself, my husband, three kids and my mother. Gort is a wonderful place to spend time as well as the perfect location from which to tour the Burren, the Aran Islands, Galway City and a whole variety of Irish countryside. He hiked, went horseback riding and enjoyed music in the pubs in Gort. We are trying to figure out when we can return!

  • What a beautiful home and surroundings. Six of us stayed ten days and had a great time. We were very comfortable, and the house was lovely. It was well furnished with all of the amenities. We took day trips every day and saw most of the west side of Ireland. I'd highly recommend it.

    Consider an alternative experience when you visit Ireland... You can know a lot of places just a little, or you can know one place well. Ireland is a place to fall into easy rhythmns, to get to know the stonework on walls and to recognize a neighbor's apple tart by the pie crust. My home is central to all the sights in the West. Enjoy them for the day, but come back at night to relax!
