Cartron Lodge | Description

Cartron Lodge is a large recently built bungalow. The lodge has a spacious lounge, three bedrooms, a south facing conservatory and full kitchen, bathroom and washing facilities as well as extensive grounds and ample parking.

There is a large and comfortable sitting room with television, a delightful conservatory, and an outside deck for those sunny days. Pets are welcome outside, where they can enjoy the extensive grounds that Cartron Lodge has to offer.

Cartron Lodge is set in large grounds and is a genuine haven from town or city life. It is situated in the rural Galway village of Ballinakill in tranquil countryside of rich farmland.

The nearest large town, Loughrea, takes its name from the beautiful lake, on the northern shore of which the town stands. It has been inhabited since prehistory and archaelogical remains are everywhere here.

The town can boast of having the only working Town Moat in Ireland. This water filled medieval moat was built in the mid 13th century. It ran directly outside the medieval walls and its circuit can still be seen.

For the past number of years, Lough Rea's excellent water quality and well maintained shore has earned it the European Blue Flag status making it one of the few inland lakes to receive this much coveted environmental award. The Long Point swimming area is well equipped with changing rooms and showers, ample parking and picnic areas.

In the south eastern end of the county, Portumna is well known as a fishing centre and marina for Lough Derg and the Shannon, with superb golf and tennis facilities.

Outside the town are the imposing ruins of Portumna Castle. Portumna Forest Park is one mile (2km) from the town on the Ennis road. This wildlife sanctuary of one thousand acres borders Lough Derg and has a laid out nature trial and many lovely forest walks.

Along with being a fantastic base for touring the Burren region and Slieve Aughty Mountains, it is an excellent spot for trout fishing and a variety of water sports.

Add to this, top class restaurants and traditional Irish pubs and you will see why Loughrea is such a popular holiday destination.
