Restored Stone Church, West Coast of Ireland as seen on Grand Designs.
Situated in wild beautiful countryside on Ireland’s west coast, Kilgallán is an old chapel built in 1836, now converted into a romantic comfortable & atmospheric holiday rental home, ready to welcome you for a relaxing experience in a very special place. Stone built with bags of character, it featured on TV's Grand Designs, & was described by Kevin McCloud as 'the best Church conversion I have ever seen'. Close to Clew Bay on the Atlantic Ocean, there are stunning beaches, sailing & sea fishing nearby. The lively heritage town of Westport is 5k away with a country pub a short walk away. There are two comfortable double bedrooms with ensuites featuring rolltop bathtubs, & a double room & 4-bed bunk room downstairs sharing a large shower room. With underfloor heating throughout an open fire in the triple height living room, & a woodburning stove under the altar windows in the dining hall, it's lofty but very cosy. There is a well-equipped kitchen & utility room, a BBQ & a large garden.

The surrounding area of Co Mayo is a haven of breathtaking views of Atlantic coastlines, mountains, lakes, rivers and beaches, all within minutes of the property. Kilgallán is only a short drive to the lively, picture postcard town of Westport. Also nearby is the town of Newport and slightly further away, but well worth a visit are Achill Island, Lough Corrib, and the Burren. The Ceide Fields visitor centre and the National Museum of Ireland: Museum of Country Life are less than one hour's drive away. The local landmark of Croagh Patrick is an exhilarating (walking) climb with stunning views of Clew Bay from the top. The drive around the bay to Louisburg and on to Doolough, past Delphi Lodge, to Killary Harbour, Ireland's only fjord, through Leenane (stop at Hamilton's Pub) and back to Westport to Westport is not to be missed.
