I have been using Airbnb for years, and my stay at the Lisdonagh House was one of the most magical and beautiful experiences to date. I took my parents and partner to stay here for four days while we explore the Galway area and I couldn't recommend spending a few days here more highly. Finola is the very definition of a true host. She welcomed us onto the property, regularly helped us with questions about the area, gave us a tour of the main house, and even invited us to participate in shearing the sheep on our final day. During our time at the Lisdonagh House we took long walks through the countryside, explored nearby Knockma Hill and Galway City, and learned about the horses and sheep that are raised on the estate property. If you enjoy history, transcendent natural vistas, and spending a few days off the tourist path - I urge you to stay at the Lisdonagh House. The beds were incredibly comfortable, warm, and the interiors were excellently curated to represent the period in which the Estate was built. I will be coming back for a longer stay in the near future. The private lake on the property is a mere 5 minute walk from the house. Every evening we watched the sunset while sipping whiskey and listening to the birds sing.
