Our home is located on the banks of the mighty River Shannon with stunning views. Shops, pubs, restaurants are just a stroll away in the historic twin towns of Ballina & Killaloe which are connected via a pedestrian bridge. .You’ll love my place because of it’s unique location, the outside spaces, the bright open plan lounge, kitchen and dining areas, the comfy beds and it’s warm & cozy feeling. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and groups

The space
This home is a private space that is all about the view of the river and mountains. High ceilings in the main living space with velux windows and large french doors mean the light and view flood into the property. The outside area makes the most of its location with our new deck right over the waters edge and our new fire pit patio keeping those outdoor evenings going that bit longer.

Guest access
All of the property is available for guests to use. The property manager will meet you at the house and provide you with the key for access. There is an easy to use alarm system available for your use, but it’s a very safe place. Please be aware areas marked as private or no entry in the garden are off limits to guest for insurance reasons.

Where you’ll be

Ballina, County Tipperary, Ireland

The twin heritage towns of Ballina & Killaloe both sit either side of the mighty River Shannon. Local amenities and activities include many shops, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, river cruising, fishing, sailing, canoeing, walking, hiking, cycling, boat hire, golfing and much more. The purpose built tourist office is located on the historic 13 arch bridge that's links Ballina & Killaloe. It houses the tourist office, local library and the newly developed Brian Ború Centre. Every Sunday morning a local farmers market offering all sorts of local produce from food to gifts takes place 'between the waters' opposite the tourist office and should not be missed. Ballina has many good restaurants and pubs including the exceptional 'Cherrytree restaurant'. Killaloe has a network of charming narrow streets, flanked by old shops & houses, that climb up the steep hillside & look down over the 13th century cathedral. Water sports are the key to the popularity of Ballin & Killaloe. Boats of all kinds from rowing boats to Shannon cabin cruisers are available for hire and water-skiing has long been popular. Short tours of the River Shannon and Lough Derg are available from the Ballina side aboard the 50-seater passenger boat Spirit of Killaloe. During July the Brian Boru Festival brings traditional music and a variety of entertainment, inside and outside, to the towns for a week. Towards the end of July the Killaloe International Music Festival centered on the historic cathedral, concentrates on the classics and is growing in reputation around the world. Every September, Killaloe is the venue for the European Pike Angling Championships. The historic towns of Killaloe & Ballina offer an exceptionally beautiful riverside setting and access to Ireland’s greatest waterway. The River Shannon is a popular cruising, boating & angling destination extending from Donegal in the North, with canal extensions to Galway in the west, Dublin in the east and Waterford in the south extends to Limerick where it enters the Atlantic Ocean.
The property is located just 30 minutes from Shannon airport, 20 minutes from Limerick, 1 hour from Galway, 1 hour 45 minutes from Dublin Airport, it is an ideal base for exploring Ireland and it's Celtic heritage.
