Built in 1703 by John Kirwan Mayor of Galway, the house is surrounded by nature and is very quiet and peaceful. Join in one of our "quiet "Yoga Classes, hike Connemara, stroll Knockma Woods, explore the lakes - world Famous for brown Trout fishing, or simply relax in the beautiful Park and Gardens. Looking out and towards Knockma Hill, the Friar's Room recalls the name of a famous horse owned by the Kirwan Family. He was the talk of the racing community in Galway. In a gallant and magnificent effort he won a particularly historic race. For John and Mary Kirwan, this was a race that literally saved the family from ruin and launched the Kirwan name to rest evenly and fairly in Galway history. With the aspect of Knockma watching serenely, the ensuite room with its sleigh bed and furnishings invites you to relax within the Hidden History of Rural Ireland. Enjoy the shared sound of silence and the reminders of where our own histories dwell. ## Property amenities ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42440000/42430800/42430748/124f69e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Galway's CastleHacket House King's Room Belclare 9.0 Wonderful 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=42430748&PinnedHotelID=42430748&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/51000000/50880000/50874100/50874081/f96ae787.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Galway Bay Lodge Oranmore - Kitchen - Dryer - Parking included - Free WiFi 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=50874081&PinnedHotelID=50874081&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34850000/34846100/34846030/948a58a4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sea View Apartment situated on the seafront near the village Salthill Salthill - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 34 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=34846030&PinnedHotelID=34846030&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27130000/27120500/27120482/56d2789b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Galway Victorian Gate Lodge Caherlistrane - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 59 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=27120482&PinnedHotelID=27120482&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/9000000/8130000/8124600/8124502/f5f8925e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kilbree House Dangan Upper - Breakfast included - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 247 reviews CA $133 CA $152 total includes taxes & fees Dec 15 - Dec 16 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-15&endDate=2025-12-16&selected=8124502&PinnedHotelID=8124502&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101350000/101340400/101340341/9b847517.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 1 Bed Pod - Sleeps 2 - Pets - Garden - Parking Boston - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 1 review CA $223 CA $223 total includes taxes & fees Dec 22 - Dec 23 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-22&endDate=2025-12-23&selected=101340341&PinnedHotelID=101340341&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Front of property - evening/night](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/6000000/5460000/5456200/5456118/3815983f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ard Ri House Hotel Tuam - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 9.0 Wonderful 180 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=5456118&PinnedHotelID=5456118&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House, Multiple Beds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48890000/48884200/48884129/69a2b476.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Unique Fairytale Farmhouse Near Galway Corrandulla - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Microwave 2.0 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-25&endDate=2025-12-26&selected=48884129&PinnedHotelID=48884129&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29830000/29825900/29825876/w799h599x1y1-e7535ec8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perfect! for doing Galway City.
