Beskrivelse av hjemmet vi tilbyr å bytte bort
We welcome and are open to all inquiries and are now looking to organize an exchange for August 2019 in either a European or USA home, preferably with a pool.
Our modern & recently renovated family home (built 2001) is situated on a private gated lane in a wooded area 150 metres from the front gates of the World famous Ashford Castle estate (https://www.ashfordcastle.com/) , on the outskirts of picturesque Cong village on the Mayo/Galway border. Set on 0.5 acres, our house is approx. 2500 sq ft with four spacious bedrooms (two en-suite), large kitchen, living room, office (fibre power broadband) and conservatory. Our landscaped garden includes three lawns and a large kids play area.
As a 'Villager', you have special privileges to freely roam the grounds of Ashford Castle and explore the 350 acres of woodland and trails on which it is built.
Our village of Cong is known as the gateway to the West Of Ireland (Connemara) and was the shooting location of "The Quiet Man" film which starred John Wayne.
The TV show "Reign" is also filmed at Ashford Castle.

There is a 9 hole golf course in Ashford Castle and a Par 73 championship course nearby in Ballinrobe(10 minute drive). There are also numerous championship links courses within an hour drive.
