Gorgeous home down a quaint winding lane. We felt like we were in the country but were only a 7 min walk from pubs, grocery stores and buses. Loved the accommodation so much, we spent one night in having wine in front of the fire just enjoying the house vs. going into town. This is a very special place.

A strategic point to visit the Connemara

The price The location : 1h from Clifden and the National Parc, 1h40 from cliffs of Moher, 20 minutes from Galway. All services available in Moyculeen (even walking) The large living room is well to take a drink with family. Just buy an electric coffee maker -)

Couldn’t be happier

The location is perfect for all Ireland destinations, the property is better than I could’ve imagined the pictures and description don’t do it justice the manager was kind and helpful , I saw one comment about someone hitting their head on a door , there are a couple low doorways but they have signs and easy to adjust to

The home was just incredible! It was so much more than we expected. We were so comfortable during a rainy stay that we didn't mind not being able to see the sites we had hoped due to a significant storm that hit the area. Julie, our host, was extremely helpful and made us feel so welcome!

My family will always treasure our time at Ballyquirke. The farmhouse and grounds are spectacular. Comfortable, updated, warm, and well-equipped. Julie and James were kind and welcoming hosts who accommodated us from the start. Owning an old home myself, places like this always have projects in progress or some things needing to be fixed, but the bones of the original house are amazing and the addition makes the house expansive. Traditional yet modern and unique above all. You are a short drive from Galway true but my family and I will trade that again for the walk up the little road to the village, waking up to the mist on the fields, having “coffee with the cows” across the stone fence, and of course spending time with Paddy and Poppy, the neighboring cat and dog. From breathing in the morning air to smelling the peat burning in the fireplace at night, you know you have the best of Ireland in Moycullen and at Ballyquirke.

Fabulous family vacation home!

Can't begin to tell you what an awesome experience we had at the Ballyquirke house! What an amazing restored and updated structure, while maintaining that old Irish cottage charm. We enjoyed being able to sprawl out to the many living spaces to read, relax, watch movies - whether alone or together. The kitchen and dining area were also very nice for the family to prepare and cook meals, and eat together. The garden was absolutely fabulous and we spent some time out there in the morning with our coffee or in the evening as the sun started to go down. The property manager Julie was especially helpful in making suggestions and giving directions. We were thankful for the opportunity to enjoy some trad Irish music with the locals in town! The ONLY suggestion I was able to get from the family was that it would be nice to have additional oscillating fans throughout the house, especially at night time and during thunderstorms! Hoping to return!

A haven of peace and quiet.

We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet we experienced at Ballyquirke House. The house has a spacious interior and exterior. The rooms were large and comfortable. The kitchen is large and well equipped with plenty of dining space. The lounges are very comfortable. Ballyquirke House feels like a welcoming home. It is only fifteen minutes drive to Spidal and the Wild Atlantic Way. Galway is a ten minute drive and Oughterard, Lough Corrib and the start of Conamara are only fifteen minutes west. There was nothing that we did not like.

Absolute Gem!

We spent a magical week at Ballyquirke House with our three children (ages 7, 8, and 10). The house more than accommodated our needs. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable, the kitchen had every gadget we could have ever wanted, the spacious living spaces allowed us to spread out and relax, and the grounds of the property were gorgeous. The property manager was extremely responsive and very kind, she made our stay so welcoming. Moycullen is the perfect jumping off point for day trips (a car is essential for this area), and we made it to the Cliffs of Moher, Clifden and Sky Road, Galway City, and more. The area is fantastic for children with Wildlands (an indoor/outdoor adventure course with zip lines) less than 5 minutes away. The town center is walking distance from the house and has restaurants, pharmacies and plenty of grocery options. We could not recommend Ballyquirke House more! It was the perfect vacation.

Fabuleux

Le cottage est magnifique. Nous nous y sommes senti chez nous de suite. Les deux petits salons et l’espace cuisine permettent d’avoir des ambiances cosy pour les uns, détente tv pour les autres. Le salon de lecture qui pour nous s’est transformé en salon musical avec chant et guitare est incroyable!!! L’atmosphère est chaleureuse. Nous avons fait du feu à la tourbe dans les différents foyer du cottage. Je recommande cet endroit à tous. Julie qui manage le logement merveilleuse, très disponible, à l’écoute et soucieuse du bien-être des locataires. Un grand merci à elle.

Ballyquirke Beauty and Bliss

We had the most beautiful holiday at Ballyquirke house. The house itself is exquisite where it is evident love and care was placed with each selection of art work, of furniture, of fixture . The home was spacious, comfortable and very accommodating. The surroundings were serene and peaceful, we all left feeling soul nourished. We are so grateful to the home owner for sharing his home with us. The house manager Julie and her family were very available and helpful and supportive during our stay. They too were infused with love and hospitality. We will treasure this trip for years to come...

A wonderful home for our stay

My family of seven (including an infant and toddler) thoroughly enjoyed staying at Ballyquirke House. The home was very comfortable and clean, well stocked with everything we needed and we had lots and lots of room to spread out during our down time. Outdoor yards and gardens were gorgeous and soothing. Many thanks to Julie for her support, warm welcome and for giving us so much local information.
