Railway Lodge is an exceptional country home, in the heart of Western Ireland's Connemara mountainous region. It takes its name from the nearby disused Galway to Clifden railway which closed in 1936. It was 60 years later, in 1996, that the Lodge was built for the proprietor, Carmel Geoghegan, on a plot within her family's farm. Her father, Paddy, lives near-by and breeds the famous Connemara Ponies as his father did before him.

The spacious interior of this carefully designed country home has been exquisitely furnished to perfectly combine modern convenience with old Irish style. Each bedroom has modern en-suite facilities as well as orthopaedic beds. It also has a traditional relaxed ambiance with its two log fires contained in cast iron fireplaces, polished wooden floors, antique pine furniture and pure Irish linen.

The cosy sitting room and bright conservatory are comfortable places to relax after traveling or to enjoy afternoon tea with some of Carmel's famous home made bread. The rear of the home looks out over Cloosh Mountains and scenery from these windows is difficult to beat!
