I stayed in this house with 8 other friends and had an amazing weekend. There is a surprising amount of things to do in Portumna. The town itself is very quiet and doesn’t have much atmosphere. If you’re looking for nightlife it’s not the place to go. But if you’re happy to just go out for a casual drink and do things in the day time it’s perfect.
Trish’s house is in a perfect location - walking distance to Aldi and the Main Street with bars, restaurants and a Super Valu.
You can also walk to day time activities. There’s a forest, the castle and grounds and the workhouse, all within walking distance of the house.
I would definitely come back to Portumna and would love to stay in Trish’s house in the future! Hopefully we’ll find better restaurants next time. We ate lunch in the Golf Club which was surprisingly nice. We were iffy when we arrived but the food turned out to be lovely! Unfortunately we could t find somewhere nice for dinner so we’ll need to do some more research next time!
