    We had a nice stay in Ballinasloe and were able to rest in the country side. The en suite room provides everything you need for good sleep and shower. Recommended to tired roadtrippers that prefer peaceful overnight stay.

Valerie and Fiachra are your hosts.
A home of ease and warmth in the heart of nature and the countryside, 3-5 min from Ballinasloe town, on the R355, and just 90 seconds from the M6 Motorway. The ideal place to stay if arriving or leaving from Dublin airport as it is 1.5 hours by car depending on traffic. On a walking trail, the Beara Breifne Way. Golf course across the road. Train station 4.5km, Buses 2.5 km, excellent taxi service. Within 20-25 minutes to Portumna, Loughrea, and Athlone.
My partner and I are both natives of Ballinasloe. We enjoy and love the countryside and nature. We believe in and explore unlimited healthy lifestyle options. Grow a lot of our own food. I am a holistic health practitioner and practice, educate, and teach people self-healing techniques and exciting and adventurous ways of creating a new and happier lifestyle.
