Our stay with was amazing! Mark was a super nice guy with a lot of interesting stories. He made sure that we felt comfortable from the first second. The apartment itself was spacious and gorgeous. It's an old country house with a lot of charm directly at a small river. Next to it also where the remainings of a small church. Mark is currently renovating the inside, making it a wonderful place to stay in the future. We will come back here the next time we are in Limerick or near it.

The Old River House at Parteen

The Old River House at Parteen, County Clare is a private family house, with a number of annexes, either offering guests rooms in a home share or the option to book exclusive use of the entire house. Currently, the estate offers accomodation in the main house, known locally by its Old Irish / Viking name of Parteen-a-Lax, but is preparing the annex cottages and buildings for booking, starting in the Spring of 2025.

 

The grounds, comprising of eight acres of gardens, woodland and river bank are being reclaimed from nature after a 25 year lapse in management.
