    Everything! This truly is an exceptional property. From the moment I drove in the driveway I could see the garden was kept beautifully with lovely flower beds and hanging baskets around the door and a lovely patio with outdoor furniture to relax...

    A beautiful cottage so nicely prepared - even fresh-baked treats left by the hosts. Very clean and comfortable, nicely appointed, and plenty of room for two. I can't wait to return some day!

Rathville Courtyard, once part of the historic Rathville House on the Blake Estate, is a converted open-plan living area, with a dining table and seating area, and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need for self-catering. A generously proportioned bedroom with a king-size bed, and all fresh linen and towels provided. The bedroom and bathroom are accessed from the living and kitchen space, which is centrally heated. The spacious en-suite bathroom offers a refreshing shower, with hot water set to come on daily. If you need extra hot water, it can be easily boosted for your convenience. While Rathville Courtyard is in the rural countryside, it's: * 2 minutes off the M6 * 2 minutes from local amenities at The Galway Plaza (shop, food court, diesel/petrol pumps, and electric charging point) * 3 minutes from the nearest pub, The Earl Inn, which serves hot food (Thursday to Sunday). * 25 min (33.8 km) to Galway City (Eyre Square) - via M6 * 35 min (54.4 km) to Athlone - via M6 (toll) The town of Loughrea is 8-minutes and Athenry is less than a 10-minute drive away, with shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, bars, and pubs.
Hello and welcome! I'm Lynn, originally from Dublin, now living in rural County Galway with my husband, Michael, and our four children. Rathville Courtyard, built in 1838, has been in Michael’s family since 1969, and he still works the land on the original Blake Estate. We’re excited to share the beauty of Galway with visitors from near and far, and we’re sure you’ll fall in love with this place, just like I did.
