This
magnificent Georgian Manor House was built in 1720.
It is one of very few such houses that is still in private ownership
and not a hotel. Overlooking a private
lake and 100 acres of meadow and woods, it is an
oasis of
peace.
Set in the heart of hunting and fishing country at the entrance of the
breathtakingly beautiful Connemara region of County Galway, it is a
picture post
card
come alive. It is perfect. |

|
The first time we
entered the large oval entry hall,
we were stunned by the gorgeous murals
depicting
the four virtues (Valor, Justice, Chastity and Strength).
Completed
in 1790, it is the last remaining mural by John Ryan.
Sophisticated furniture and antiques complement the oak walls . |

The

when needed. The deep blue walls, white woodwork, rich fabrics
and the elegant table settings create a lovely setting for any
occasion. You can rent this house with a full-time chef, a
part-time chef or you can rent it self-catering (you do the
cooking). However you do it, the dining room is a grand place for
your meals. The very large kitchen is an absolute dream. The big Aga stove is the heart of the kitchen, The entire room is designed for optimum efficiency and beauty.
