Experience the Timeless Elegance of Nile Lodge in Galway

Perfectly located in the heart of Galway City, Nile Lodge is a mere five-minute walk from the famous Quay Street, brimming with excellent restaurants, pubs, and shops.

The house comfortably accommodates ten guests, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the lower garden level. Each bedroom is thoughtfully decorated, ensuring a restful stay.
The house is quite traditional in layout with a stunning entrance hall and bright, spacious rooms with large windows. The drawing room and dining room are on opposite sides of the hall and both have a wonderful formality and elegance, while still being comfortable and welcoming. Both rooms are ideal for entertaining on a fairly grand scale. The vaulted ceilings have beautiful plasterwork and marble fireplaces, exquisite hand cut chandeliers, beautiful Irish carpets and superior quality antique furniture all add to the grandeur of Nile Lodge.
There is a luxurious living room at the end of the entrance hall which also has a high vaulted ceiling, magnificent antique furniture and large open fire making it perfect for relaxed, intimate conversation. The living room opens onto a period conservatory which, in turn, opens onto a furnished Italianate patio, the perfect place for summer evening barbecues, relaxing with a glass of wine.
