The Georgian Manor & Estate Grounds

When you rent Ballinderry Park for your group, you're not just booking rooms—you're gaining exclusive access to one of East Galway's most magnificent Georgian estates. The house itself is a masterpiece of Georgian architecture, carefully restored to preserve its historic integrity while providing contemporary comfort.

Historic Architecture Meets Modern Luxury

Walk through rooms where history lives in every detail: original moldings, period fireplaces, soaring ceilings with intricate plasterwork, and windows that frame the Irish countryside like living paintings. Yet you'll also find modern amenities thoughtfully integrated—comfortable heating, contemporary bathrooms, and updated kitchens that don't compromise the historic character.

The estate grounds extend your living space outdoors. Mature trees frame sweeping lawns, historic gardens invite exploration, and private terraces offer perfect spots for outdoor dining or quiet contemplation. The parkland itself tells stories of centuries past while providing a stunning backdrop for your group's present-day adventures.

"Like staying in a cherished long lost uncle's manor house. George asked us downstairs into the drawing room and, lighting a fire not with peat but with fragrant logs, told us poignant stories of an older, gentler, sadly vanishing Ireland. Soft rains fell outside, sheep were bleating, in short, everything was right in the world."

Why Choose Private Rental for Your Group

Authentic Irish Heritage Experience

This isn't a fabricated tourist attraction—it's a real Georgian house with genuine history, lovingly maintained and still lived in by the family that owns it. Your host, George, shares stories that bring the house and the region's history to life, creating connections that generic accommodations simply cannot offer.

Flexibility & Freedom

Private rental means you set your own schedule. Want a late breakfast? Sleep in. Prefer evening gatherings that extend past midnight? Enjoy the drawing room fire as long as you like. The house adapts to your group's rhythm, not the other way around.
