As a lodge, it commands its own entrance to this large park, recognised as one of Europe's finest ornamental gardens, with trees and shrubs from all over the world, around a lake with rivers and waterfalls. The demesne also features the world's tallest box hedges and the recently restored giant telescope. A wonderful retreat for nature lovers, gardeners, artists and all yours to enjoy privately after the main gates close to the general public at the end of each afternoon. Fishing, horse riding and golf are available locally and the River Shannon is only 20 minutes drive away. Garden furniture allows you to enjoy the lawned gardens and there is ample parking space.
Pets are welcome.
