Overview:

“He loved all wild and solitary places, where we taste the pleasures of believing what we see is boundless as we wish our souls to be”– Percy Bysshe Shelly.

Costelloe Lodge is an Edwardian country residence in Connemara with breath-taking views of the Twelve Pins mountain range – the Casla River and Atlantic Ocean. Under new ownership, the property has been lovingly renovated and restored to its former glory.

The house was designed for Mr Bruce Ismay, chairman of the white star and owner of the titanic; as a keen angler this beautiful location was Ismays chosen retreat following the sinking of the titanic. Landscaped gardens originally designed by Gertrude Jekyll offer a stunning palette of colour; the flora and fauna chosen to compliment Connemara’s natural beauty. This is a wonderful property and grounds for family gatherings, weddings and special events, or for travelling groups looking for a luxurious property close to fishing, golf, and many other activities.

The unspoiled Aran Islands lie in Galway Bay not far from the Galway and Clare coast and the Cliffs of Moher on the West coast of Ireland. Take a day trip and travel by ferry or air. Ferries operate to the Islands from the nearby harbour at Rossaveal, less than a 5 minute drive from the property. Flights to Aran leave from Inverin Airport, just a 15 minute drive away from the property.
