About this property

Georgian Villa - Lughnasa - Overlooking Palladian Fountain in private Estate

Lughnasa is a beautifully restored Georgian rental perfect for those seeking an idyllic rural stay 20 minutes from Galway City. The villa is a world apart from the bustle of city life and is a great retreat to return to after sightseeing. There is a timeless tree-lined avenue leading into the courtyard and a wonderful sense of history and heritage. Overlooking a Palladian fountain, Lughnasa offers a seamless balance of period features and modern amenities. On the ground floor, guests are greeted with a marble entrance hall leading into a dining room, living room and fully-fitted compact kitchen. Upstairs there are two luxurious bedrooms, one king and one with two single beds, both with jacuzzi bath.

The Caherlistrane region is famous for traditional music heritage and culture and is a hidden gem in the hinterland of Galway City that is proudly preserved and shared by the people of the parish who take great pride is showing off the region.

Magical getaway
We're so glad we decided to stay outside Galway instead of in town. The scenery, grounds, and accommodation were all picture perfect. One could totally believe the history of the fairies fills this forest. Finola was very responsive to all questions and check-in and out couldn't have been easier. She also made an excellent restaurant recommendation. We loved being able to have a dinner in our place as well so we could sample all the whiskeys we've been purchasing on our distillery road trip. We would absolutely stay here again.

Charming, great location but issues.
The decor is lovely, the location is peaceful yet very well positioned. The kitchen though Tardis-like has an oven, hob, fridge and dishwasher. There is a washing machine but, not as listed, a dryer. The host did offer to dry clothes on our last evening when I contacted her about the washer/dryer. The jacuzzi bath in the master does not work.

Get away
If you want peace and quiet, and a bit of luxery ,well this is the place to go. Decor was beautiful and Finola was an excellent hostess with a wealth of knowledge to the surrounding area. She showed us around and nothing was a bother to her.
