Restful and rentable in Renvyle

The Lodges at Renvyle House in Connemara have the Atlantic Ocean as their back gardens and are a stone’s throw from the services of Renvyle House Hotel, a renowned country house that is celebrating its 130th year in business.

The modern detached properties were completed in 2006 and have been used by the hotel for guests.

The two-storey houses are now being put up for sale as holiday homes. Part of the appeal is that they give visitors their own independence but include use of the hotel facilities as part of a €490 management fee.

You can spend the days fly fishing for brown trout or go boating or canoeing on the nearby Rusheen Duff lake. Or play a round of golf on the hotel’s nine-hole course and make use of the hot tub and treatments as well as the outdoor swimming pool, although this is open during the summer months only. The hotel itself closes for the month of January.

Each four-bedroom house measures 115sq m (1,240sq ft) and is asking €275,000 through agent Sherry FitzGerald in Galway.

Each house has a smart, open plan layout, underfloor heating, double-glazed windows and solar panels. Owners wishing to rent out their properties can avail of the services of the hotel to have rooms cleaned and linen changed.

There is a rental option available run by the hotel management where the house can be let at times that the owners are not using the house, agreed in advance with the hotel. Rental incomes per week range from €300 in low season, the months of March and April, to €700 for high season which runs through July and August.

Open viewing is scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday from 2pm-4pm.
