A Fortified Galway hall-house of circa 1300 AD

For 700 years, Carraigin Castle has been a landmark on the eastern shore of Lough Corrib. In recent years, this castle has been authentically restored to its former glory using the same materials and techniques as the original thirteenth-century builders. Modern comforts have been incorporated without detracting from the charm and simple grandeur of this ancient dwelling, a rare and beautiful example of the medieval “hall house”.

Surrounded by seven acres of lawns, woodland and meadows, it is an idyllic holiday home in a beautiful lakeside setting. There one can enjoy walking, boating, fishing, riding and sightseeing, or simply relax and contemplate the gothic geometry of the roof timbers.

Self catering for up to 12 from £600 to £1,600 per week. Special terms for longer lets.

Travel back in time ... Enjoy the gentler side of medieval life in an elegant feudal family home!
