This magnificent property is a fine
example of a 15th Century Irish keep or tower house. Once through
its medieval entrance arch, one is transported back in time through
turbulent centuries of Irish history.
From its imposing position, overlooking the River Shannon and
surrounding farmland, it is just 3 miles to the village of Quin,
with its famous abbey and 15 minutes to Shannon Airport.
This is a region renowned for its historic interest and with
many other castles, fortresses and keeps to visit. Opportunities
for fishing, hunting, riding and golf also abound. There is easy
access to the coast and the beautiful areas around Galway, Connemara
and the Burren, an austere and rocky plateau, famous for its
unique array of mediterranean and alpine plants.
The castle has been exquisitely restored by its current owners,
retaining its traditional atmosphere and adding modern comforts.
Features include oak ceiling beams, flagstone flooring, a medieval-style
dining room, a living room with minstrel's gallery and inglenook
fireplace, and beautiful antiques throughout. There is television,
stereo system, telephone/fax and underfloor heating.
