We had a wonderful stay at Mark's charming historical property of Parteen a Lax . The place exudes character and history, with Mark's restoration efforts clearly visible, preserving its unique charm while ensuring modern comfort. All facilities catered perfectly to daily needs, but what truly stood out was the incredible hospitality—Mark's warmth and attentiveness made the experience feel like a 7-star stay. If you're looking for a cozy, authentic experience with unbeatable hospitality, this is the place to book and be part of history of Ireland.
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.

Parteen-a-Lax is an utterly charming country home that feels like its own slice of the world but is within a 10-minute drive of Limerick city centre. Mark is a fantastic host and raconteur who made sure we had a pleasant stay. The house is storied...
