Summary: Ballyglunin Park is an amazing manor house/Irish castle 20 minutes or so from Galway. While the house has the architectural feel of the 19th century, it functions as any home should in 2024. State of the art kitchen appliances, fully kitted-out ensuite showers….in short, everything you would expect. The property grounds were idyllic, and great for short walks every morning. Just remember to bring apples for the horses….that’s why they will be running to the fence as soon as they see you:). Alan was exceptionally responsive any time we needed anything at all. Our family group had especially wanted to see a hurling match, but had no idea where to go. So Alan sent us to one of the closest hurling matches in a long time at Kenny Park …very exciting. But heartbreaking for Gort:( In short, Ballyglunin Park is a very special place. The photos can’t really do it justice. We will come back. Kevin Vancouver, Canada

Summary: The castle is amazing! The grounds look like they are from a movie. The beds were comfortable and having a bathroom for each bedroom was key. Alan was always there if we needed him for questions or information. There are a lot of places to visit with in 30mins to 1.5 hrs away. If we head back to Ireland again we will definitely be staying here again.

Summary: Our stay at Ballyglunin was an absolute dream!! We came here for a photography retreat with 10 women, and the property could not have been more perfect. The setting is beautiful, the beds are so comfortable, every amenity was provided for, and the property manager Alan was an absolute gem! He was so helpful and responsive when ordering groceries to the house and with everything we had any questions about. Every single one of us ooh-ed and ahh-ed over the entire experience - it was the best vacation rental I have ever experienced. I'm hopeful we will be able to make it back again in the future!

Summary: We had an excellent time and the house is very conducive to large groups as there are many separate rooms that can give you privacy to read or others that are more social. For a large house, it does not feel overwhelming and the rooms are all comfortably sized and we loved the open fires. Overall, it’s an excellent home and we hope to come back in the summertime.

Summary: We cannot say enough about our stay at Ballyglunin - it was incredible. Firstly, communication and recommendations leading to our trip were excellent and made such a difference upon our arrival. Then when we arrived, we were greeted by Alan who was so helpful, hospitable, and accommodating throughout our stay - we appreciate him so much. The home and grounds cannot be compared - beautiful and sprawling grounds to roam and enjoy, and a home that was not only incredibly spacious but also very homey and comfortable. Among us were adults and young children and the space and it’s surrounding a accommodated us very well. We all really hope we’ll have the opportunity to come back to such an amazing home, setting and people, where we enjoyed such a special time as a family. Thank you!

Summary: The property was perfect for a group of 13 people. We went for walks to look at the fairy houses, fed apples to the horses, cooked and ate in the giant dining room, played hide and seek, etc. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in a castle for a while. Alan was extremely helpful and was able to tell us some of the history of the Manor.

Summary: Our family of 13 stayed at Ballyglunin Park and we could not be more impressed with this historic house, grounds, and the exceptional service we received from Alan the grounds and housekeeper. This was a perfect location for us to explore the entire Galway region as well as the local towns and pubs. Ballyglunin is a slice of heaven!

Summary: As you drive down the beautiful driveway to Ballyglunin you realize how magical this home is . It is like a fairy tale is about to begin . My family loved being here. 7 kids and 7 adults and enough room to spread out . Beautiful lands and views . Animals to visit , close to shopping in Galway, golf , Connemara , sheep herding , trampolines with goats , yes goats - such fun . The whole vacation was awesome, but Ballyglunin was the frosting on the cake . Oh and Alan the manager was wonderful too !! .
