About this property
Holiday in Banagher Co.Offaly in the center of Ireland
Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway.
John and Marian invite you to rent this 300 year old farm cottage, located on the McDonald farm in Lusmagh, Banagher, Co. Offaly only 1 km from the Shannon River. It was the original home of the McDonald family for generations. The cottage has been carefully restored, keeping as much of the house's 'Old World' character as possible while adding all modern comforts. It is located near the main farm, in a beautiful farm garden with an orchard.
