About

This is a charming riverside historic country house configured to sleep 16 guests in 6 rooms comfortably. With sofa beds and collapsible beds, it is possible to squeeze up to 22 guests in. With the cottage (available seperately) and extra beds, it is possible to accommodate 30+ people comfortably.

Guests can eat in a large dining room or relax in a beautiful drawing room with a wood stove and a grand piano looking over the gardens to the River Shannon. The kitchens are equipped with an oil fired Aga and gas cookers and all modern conveniences with plenty of fridge and freezer space.

The house has river frontage and large gardens with walks along the Shannon river.

This is a beautiful single storey period house on the banks of the River Shannon. It has strong links to the O'Brien chieftains, being built by the son of the Young Ireland Leader, William Smith O'Brien, himself a direct descendant of Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland and passed on down through his direct family line since. Apart from the significant history associated with this house, it is a unique architectural gem, built by the eccentric Donough O'Brien and has inspired famous artists from the O'Brien family, such as Dermot O'Brien whose art dominates the National Gallery, Cicely O'Brien and Geraldine O'Brien who painted from her studio in the house. The House is sandwiched between the tail race from the Ardnacrusher Power Station and the River Shannon, and is protected from sight of Limerick City Centre - less than 1 mile away - by Thomas's Island. Fishing is also available on the River Shannon, where Salmon, Trout and Pike are popular catches.

A former church on the property can be used as an extra function room seating around 75 comfortably. St Patrick's is a de-consecrated Church of Ireland church that served the Parteen community until the 1950s. It was sold to the O'Briens in the 1990s and is under renovation.

This is a pet friendly non-smoking house. There are plenty of cots and spare beds that can be set up in unlisted rooms to accommodate extra guests. Please accept this as a work in progress and the opportunity to stay in a truly unique period house.
