🏡 A COTTAGE WITH HISTORY AND CHARACTER
The cottage sits on the grounds of Parteen‑A‑Lax, a historic riverside estate with deep links to the O’Brien chieftains and the artistic O’Brien family. The estate is bordered by the River Shannon on one side and the Ardnacrusha tail race on the other, creating a dramatic and peaceful landscape rich in wildlife, water views, and Irish history.
Beside the cottage stands St Patrick’s, a de‑consecrated Church of Ireland church that served the Parteen community until the 1950s. Now under renovation, it is available as a function space for up to 75 guests, making the cottage an ideal base for family gatherings, workshops, or intimate celebrations.
