The Nile Lodge - luxury Irish short term rental

Large villa-style residence, with an 'upstairs-downstairs' ambiance. The house is quite traditional in layout with a stunning entrance hall and bright, spacious rooms with large windows. 

The drawing room and dining room are on opposite sides of the hall and both have a wonderful formality and elegance, while still being comfortable and cosy. Both rooms are ideal for entertaining on a grand scale. The vaulted ceilings have beautiful plasterwork and marble fireplaces, exquisite hand cut chandeliers, beautiful Irish carpets and superior quality antique furniture all add to the grandeur of Nile Lodge.

Appreciate the history... feel the comfort

There are three spacious bedrooms on the main level, two with hand made super-king size beds and one with two luxury sprung single beds, which are linked to make a super-king bed. All have fine linens and high quality bedding.

The bedrooms are also furnished with fine antiques, designer fabrics and offer wonderful views over the landscaped gardens. These bedrooms are all en-suite, two with shower rooms and one with bath and overhead shower. The en-suites have all been tastefully restored recently, with antique and modern fittings, designer fabrics and power showers.

Additional Rooms Available

We also have two additional super- king bedrooms on the lower ground floor of this split level house.

The first of these, the Rose Garden room, has a separate, private shower/water closet room situated across a hallway.

The second downstairs bedroom, the Blue Garden room, has a big comfortable super-king with luxury linens.

It has a bathroom with overhead shower situated in its private hallway.

They are perfect for accommodating people for large groups as they are perfectly linked by two staircases to both the patio area at the rear of the house and also to one of the corridors of the main house.

They are both furnished with beautiful antiques and fine furnishings and they have additional tea and coffee making facilities close to the bedrooms.

Please be aware that these rooms although spacious and comfortable are not as luxurious as the main bedrooms on the upper ground floor as they do not have the same views of the garden.

Beautifully landscaped gardens on over an acre of private land

This beautiful house, which originally had a sea view, stands on over an acre of private, mature, beautifully landscaped gardens which provide a wonderful green oasis within minutes of the centre of Galway. There is a high-walled orchard to the rear of the property which is enjoyable for children and adults alike.

Nile Lodge is an ideal venue for small intimate weddings, private family celebrations, reunions and memorable holidays. It is perfectly located for all that the West of Ireland has to offer, especially its many superb golf courses, game and coarse fishing, or sailing and scuba diving off the coast.

Idylic dining in the sunshine parlour Galway

Christmas time in Galway is a very special time and it is particularly wonderful in Nile Lodge. It is a great place to get together with family and friends. Christmas decorations go up in the first week of December and traditionally come down again on the 7th of January. If you would like us to decorate Nile Lodge for your stay and it's not quite Christmas time, just let us know and we would be happy to oblige. So sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of mulled wine in front of the open fire.
