Description of the County Galway vacation chateau / country house rental

Splendid Georgian (1750) Large Country House, 6 bedrooms, (sleeps from 6 to 12) for holiday rental in Ireland's most beautiful region, Connemara. Wellpark House is situated in the picturesque village of Oughterard, by the river Owenriff, near Lake Corrib, famous for its salmon and trout fishing. It lies in one acre of lush garden, lawns and orchard with its own, separate, specially designed Barbecue Garden. It has a delightful large farmhouse kitchen, aromatic turf fires and winding staircase. Being a large country house, it lends itself to family gatherings. Built in a more leisurely age, it provides a tranquil haven for the work weary among Ireland's most beautiful lakes, mountains, rivers, candid beaches, fuchsia lined hedgerows and ancient castles. Connemara is also a superb Fishing area and Oughterard Golf Club (18 hole Parkland) is only five minutes away. Irish Tourist Board approved - 4 star rating (2005)
