"Absolutely loved Shannon Vale and Mary Rose was so helpful."
Luxury property in a very peaceful location. Missing it already.
-
"Beautiful home in a peaceful picturesque location."
-
"Beautiful elegant house and garden in idyllic rural setting within walking distance to Lough Derg."
The modern calm decor just adds to the tranquility of it all. Perfect location for exploring counties Galway, Clare, Offaly and Tipperary or for just relaxing and staying local, with Woodford and Portumna a short drive away. We received a lovely warm welcome from the host and chatted to many friendly people when out and about. Will definitely be back.

"This is a gorgeous cottage which has been been so thoughtfully refurbished."
It is pristine and luxurious, and would be at home on the pages of an interior design magazine. The gardens are beautiful, with countryside views over to the Lough. Mary Rose made us feel so welcome and gave great suggestions of where to walk and lovely places to dine. This was a little piece of heaven on earth and a great place to relax and restore.

"Mary Rose was the perfect host, she did a little shop for us on our first day as we were arriving in the evening."
She had good suggestions of places to visit during our two week stay. The property was spacious and maintained to a very high standard. The gardens were immaculate. Toffee and Eeyore the donkeys were our nearest neighbours and were sooo cute. The location was peaceful and idyllic and ideally situated for exploring Ireland.

"I can’t help but gush about our stay at Shannon Vale hosted by Mary Rose!"
Waking up to the sight of the tranquil lake and being greeted by the adorable donkeys each morning was just amazing. And the house itself? Total dreamland! Every detail, from the layout to the decor, was spot on. You could feel the love and thought put into it. Mary Rose is so welcoming and made us feel right at home. We are already planning our never visit to this little slice of paradise. Huge thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Many thanks for your lovely feedback, much appreciated and we are very happy to hear you all enjoyed the break in Ireland West. Property Owner

Benefitting from off-road parking, dog-friendly accommodation and close access to Lough Derg, Shannon Vale welcomes four guests and is ideal for a family getaway in Ireland.
After parking up, enter your new home-from-home ready to kick back in the stylish open-plan living space, equipped with all the necessities required to enjoy a successful self-catered stay!
Allow your other half to get to grips with a range of handy appliances in the well-equipped kitchen, to rustle up a delicious home-cooked meal as you set the table in preparation for a feast; if you prefer to dine alfresco, why not take advantage of the stunning outdoor areas, lighting the fire pit and settling in for an evening of sharing stories or roasting marshmallows.
When the sun sets in the distance, head back inside to the inviting sitting room, adorned with a TV and solid-fuel fire where you can delight in a movie marathon before washing away the day in the sleek Jack-and-Jill shower room.
If you begin to feel sleepy, opt for either a double, with its very own en-suite facilities or a twin, to hunker down and catch your well-deserved rest.
In the morning, begin your adventures at Lough Derg, an idyllic spot to delight in a scenic boat cruise and take in the beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
Spend a day at Portumna Castle and Gardens, a short distance from Dooros where you can explore the historic rooms of the castle, wander through the beautiful gardens and learn about the history of the area.
Enjoy a range of outdoor activities, including walking, hiking and cycling or uncover all that the Burren National Park, located a scenic drive away and known for its limestone pavements, rare flora and ancient archaeological sites.
Within so much to do and see nearby, begin your next adventure at Shannon Vale.
