Ballyglunin Christmas stay
We had an excellent time and the house is very conducive to large groups as there are many separate rooms that can give you privacy to read or others that are more social. For a large house, it does not feel overwhelming and the rooms are all comfortably sized and we loved the open fires. Overall, it’s an excellent home and we hope to come back in the summertime.

Incredible stay - recommend so highly
We cannot say enough about our stay at Ballyglunin - it was incredible. Firstly, communication and recommendations leading to our trip were excellent and made such a difference upon our arrival. Then when we arrived, we were greeted by Alan who was so helpful, hospitable, and accommodating throughout our stay - we appreciate him so much. The home and grounds cannot be compared - beautiful and sprawling grounds to roam and enjoy, and a home that was not only incredibly spacious but also very homey and comfortable. Among us were adults and young children and the space and it’s surrounding a accommodated us very well. We all really hope we’ll have the opportunity to come back to such an amazing home, setting and people, where we enjoyed such a special time as a family. Thank you!

What an amazing property and experience
The property was perfect for a group of 13 people. We went for walks to look at the fairy houses, fed apples to the horses, cooked and ate in the giant dining room, played hide and seek, etc. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in a castle for a while. Alan was extremely helpful and was able to tell us some of the history of the Manor.

Our Best Stay Ever
Our family of 13 stayed at Ballyglunin Park and we could not be more impressed with this historic house, grounds, and the exceptional service we received from Alan the grounds and housekeeper. This was a perfect location for us to explore the entire Galway region as well as the local towns and pubs. Ballyglunin is a slice of heaven!
