Words cannot express how special this estate home is. We had an unbelievable experience staying in Ballyglunin. The house is luxurious with all the appointments you could ever want. The beds and pillows were so comfortable; the kitchen fully stocked and every room immaculately clean and comfortable. Alan was an exceptional property manager. He had the house tastefully decorated for Christmas and met us upon arrival and showed us around. He accepted our catering on our behalf and had it all set up for our arrival. The grounds were so beautifully maintained. There were sheep grazing around the property which made it feel even that much more authentic. We had the best Christmas ever being in this majestic home. If I could give it 100 stars, I’d still give it 101! Thank you for allowing us the privilege to stay at your incredible and authentic home. We felt like royalty! Can’t wait to return

My family had a wonderful stay at the incredible Ballyglunin estate. Clare and Alan were fantastic hosts, very accommodating to our group and a warm welcome made us feel right at home.The beautiful grounds and historic castle were the perfect setting for a family adventure. The kids (ages 1-5) especially loved exploring the walking paths and feeding the horses.We dream of a next visit! And very much appreciated this slice of the Irish countryside.

We had a spectacular 9 days; Alan, the caretaker, was attentive and most helpful -always. The property is gorgeous….. a great location for tourists, close to fabulous restaurants and charming towns. I really want to return - as soon as I possibly can. Thank you to the owners for very special memories.

We had the great pleasure of staying at this incredible castle! There were 14 of us total with plenty of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. The beds were by far some of the best I have ever slept on in Europe. Alan, the groundskeeper/house manager was absolutely incredible and so ready to Help in anyway. I would recommend this to any family looking for a big beautiful place to stay in Ireland. It is a little bit further out from Galway than some would like, but the drive is actually quite lovely and usually very easy.
