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.
