The house is quite traditional in layout with a stunning entrance hall and bright, spacious rooms with large windows.
The drawing room and dining room are on opposite sides of the hall and both have a wonderful formality and elegance, while still being comfortable and welcoming. Both rooms are ideal for entertaining on a fairly grand scale. The vaulted ceilings have beautiful plasterwork and marble fireplaces, exquisite hand cut chandeliers, beautiful Irish carpets and superior quality antique furniture all add to the grandeur of Nile Lodge.

There is a luxurious living room at the end of the entrance hall which also has a high vaulted ceiling, magnificent antique furniture and large open fire making it perfect for relaxed, intimate conversation.

Maire was a warm, welcoming, and supportive host, who provided great information about the property and environs. The house was everything and more than we expected. We were a family of six, ranging in age from 8-80! We all had a wonderful time.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
The property was absolutely stunning, clean, and had so much history. It was perfect for our group visiting Galway for a few days. Maire went above and beyond to host us and welcome us into the home by accommodating our arrival time, giving us a tour of the home, and even proving us some groceries! We would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Galway!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
From the moment we arrived this home exceeded any expectations we had. Maire was the most welcoming, organized, hospitable host ever! The home and yard were absolutely stunning and unforgettable. You will never want to leave (mark my words!) The home was beautiful and roomy with so many options for people to lay and rest in their own corners of the house. I want to thank Maire and scream it from the roof tops that this place and her made our trip and we as a family are so beyond grateful for her generosity and kindness. the nile lodge is like no other. thank you thank you thank you!!
