Whispering Willow and Galway Glamping
An unusual hospitality property has come to the market in Co Galway. Known as Whispering Willow and Galway Glamping, the 11-acre property has facilities to accommodate up to 40 guests in a country lifestyle setting.
It comes with a renovated single-storey church which extends to 3,000 sqft and acts as a meeting/function room complemented by kitchen facilities.
Three handcrafted wooden eco-cabins sleep four people and each of these comes with a toilet.
A number of traditional outbuildings provide overflow accommodation and sleeps four people. The sale also includes planning permission for five detached houses, each with four bedrooms. Outside of the farm yard, the remainder of the land has been devoted to grazing for horses.
Selling agent Sherry FitzGerald Todd is quoting €1.5m for the property.
Declan Todd says the property is formed from within the historic former farmyard of the Blake Estate. The Blakes were one of the original 12 Galway tribes. Buildings also include a 16th century tower house, barns and modern 21st century renovations. So it offers potential for an interesting redevelopment project.
Located to the east of the M17, near picturesque Ballyglunin, the nearest village, Abbeyknockmoy, is only 3km away.
The M17 links Knock and Shannon airports to Galway’s popular tourist spots.
