Shawe-Taylor's Historic Schoolhouse Gort, Galway

Property Description

The School House is a wonderful place for relaxation and is surrounded by lush green farmland with cattle happily grazing in the fields. The name Tierneevin is an Irish word meaning 'A Beautiful Place', so the name speaks for itself. This is a most luxurious building furnished with antiques and we are very proud of the finish provided. We are certain that our discerning guests will enjoy holidaying in this beautiful part of Ireland. The bright and spacious lounge with light shining through the south facing French doors is an ideal room to sit and relax in with a good book. Here you are looking out to the graveled forecourt with flagstone picnic table and seating. This is a wonderful place to unwind and get away from all the stresses in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Ideally suited for a golfing or walking holiday. Gort Golf club is literally on your doorstep with very reasonable rates available, and an excellent clubhouse and restaurant. This superb 18 hole Championship Golf Course is set on 160 acres of picturesque parkland, overlooking the Burren and the Clare Hills. From the property you can take a delightful 3 mile circular walk, which runs through the Burren landscape. The scenery, birds and wildlife, botany and geology - all can be enjoyed on this short walk. Nearby is the famed Coole Park. Also close by is Kilmacduagh Monastery and Round Tower. Kinvara and Ballyvaughan are fishing and farming villages both on the edge of Galway Bay. For shopping there is Galway City and Ennis, both only 30 minutes drive from the property. There are many fine restaurants close by in Gort, Kinvara and Ballyvaughan.
