Mansion by the Connemara coast
Discover unmatched luxury, a sprawling 5,000 sq ft haven set on the picturesque Connemara coast, minutes from Barna Village and Galway City. The home blends historic charm with modern elegance—the dining room was once a quaint cottage. Step into a grand entrance hall leading to a high-end kitchen with three island units. The ground floor offers a living room featuring a bar and drop-down projector screen, alongside a sunroom and playroom. Your grand Irish escape awaits.
The space
Nestled along Ireland's rugged west coast, Barna is a charming seaside village that serves as an idyllic getaway for travelers looking to experience the best of both rural Irish life and city excitement. Located just 7km from the bustling city of Galway (c. €20 taxi fare to/from the house), Barna offers an oasis of tranquility, yet remains close enough to the city for guests to easily access all the urban amenities and cultural activities Galway has to offer.
In Barna, natural beauty is abundant. The village sits right along the famed Connemara coast, making it a haven for fans of watersports and those in search of breathtaking seascapes. From kayaking and paddleboarding to wind-surfing and sailing, the coastal waters offer something for everyone. For the more leisurely traveler, the village is encircled by scenic walking trails that take you through lush fields, pebbled beaches, and along the captivating shoreline. Don't forget to pack your camera; the golden sunsets here are truly Insta-worthy!
When it comes to dining, Barna is a food lover's paradise. Being a coastal village, you'll find some of the freshest seafood possible. Whether it's a casual fish-and-chips meal you seek or a fine dining experience complete with freshly caught oysters and lobster, the local eateries are sure to delight your palate. Coupled with traditional Irish pubs with a cozy atmosphere, you'll find it easy to experience the local culture right on your doorstep. Michelin Guide Recommended, "West" restaurant is 5 minutes walk as is the renowned "O'Grady's on the Pier" oyster and seafood restaurant.
For families, Galway doesn't disappoint. A range of outdoor playgrounds and indoor activity centers keep the little ones entertained. Nearby is also home to some excellent educational attractions, including marine centers and guided tours that provide fascinating insights into the local flora, fauna, and cultural history. Wildlands activity center is under 15 minutes drive and a huge hit with kids of all ages.
Accessibility is another feather in Barna's cap. The village is well-connected by road and public transport, making it easy for visitors to explore the nearby attractions. A short drive will take you to the heart of Galway City, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant street life, visit the medieval Galway Cathedral, or perhaps catch a live performance at the Town Hall Theatre.
Numerous swimming options are nearby, incuding the famed Blackrock diving pier, as is Silverstrand beach, Furbo and Spiddal. The local beach is a 3 minute walk away.
So, whether you're a solo adventurer, a couple seeking a romantic retreat, or a family looking to bond over shared experiences, Barna offers a rich tapestry of attractions that make it an unmissable destination on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. Come for the natural beauty and stay for the endless charm; Barna is the quintessential Irish village that offers something for every kind of traveler.
