The Old Village Barn - Self-catering in Co. Galway
Woodford, H62T P83, Co. Galway
Connacht,
Irlanda
This modern barn conversion housed pigs and cows until a few years ago – it’s now a remote base to let go of the daily grind, breathe in lungfuls of country air and enjoy silence, except for the odd cow mooing in the background. While away hours reading in front of the wood-burner. When hunger sets in you can cook up feasts in the well-equipped kitchen.
There’s a rowing boat to take out on the lake (a minute's walk) or head right in in for a bracing, wild swim. Head out on long walks from the door (there's heated storage for muddy boots so you'll never have cold feet) or explore nearby Portumna Forest Park (11 miles) – ask Mary Rose for maps and recommendations.
When it’s shining, the sun streams onto the small patio - crack open the bottle of wine left out for you, watch it disappear and stay to gaze at the starry skies. Wander inside to sink into inviting beds in calming rooms.

Local points of interest from Mary Rose Donnelly:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Mary Rose Donnelly:
- Take the rowing boat out for a spin and maybe catch a Pike for supper. Pack a picnic and perhaps if it’s warm bring your togs for a quick dip.
- Visit the Irish Workhouse Centre in Portumna (11 miles) for a glimpse into local history during the mid 19th Century.
- Enjoy a pub lunch or a pint with the locals in Walsh’s Bar and Restaurant, Woodford. Afterwards, take the kids to the enchanting walled garden playground.
- Birr Castle and Science Centre provides something for everyone with award-winning gardens, Ireland’s tallest treehouse and the great telescope.
- Portumna Forest Park is just 15-20 minutes drive from the Old Village Barn. Wildlife abounds.
- The vibrant and hip University city of Galway (40 miles) provides great shopping, culture and various dining options. A favorite with all our guests.
