Garraunbaun Lodge

Situated in Moyard, Garraunbaun Lodge is nestled in a green oasis between the sea (Ballinakill Harbour) and Garraunbaun Lough. The four-bed lodge forms part of an estate built by Architect Charles Palmer Archer in the mid-1850s and is set on four acres, of which over one acre is formal gardens, including a walled garden installed when the estate was divided in 1968. Hydrangea and Rhododendrons feature strongly throughout, as do native plants which tolerate the ravages of the Atlantic.

Moyard is located in the region of Connaught, west coast of Ireland. Connaught's capital Galway City is approximately 54 miles away from Moyard. The distance from Moyard to Ireland's capital Dublin is about 183 miles.

Come and relax in this peaceful self-catering lodge, cosy up and unwind by the living room wood stove whilst planning your stay in Connemara, this strikingly picturesque part of Ireland. The property is 10 minute drive to Letterfrack village (shops, pubs & restaurants), 10 minutes to Connemara National Park, 14 minutes to Kylemore Abbey, 13 minutes to Clifden and 11 minutes to Cleggan.

A recently installed bespoke hand-crafted kitchen in duck egg blue is excellently kitted out, complete with built-in units, a large modern gas hob and electric oven, microwave, dishwasher and espresso coffee machine. It is equipped with all the utensils you might expect to find in a top-notch home, and there is a table that seats eight people.

Separately the house has a large dining room furnished with period adornments with furniture in sympathy with the property's age, including a sideboard, complete dinner service, bureau, side table and dining table that seats 10. The rooms are furnished and tastefully decorated, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay in a modern and minimalist style that fits perfectly with the luminosity and harmony of this property.
