Experience the beauty and elegance of a bye-gone age at the charming country mansion set in the heart of Ireland, originally built as a castle in 1627 and converted to a dwelling in 1748. Set in its own mature woodlands, with private access to the tranquil River Brosna overlooking a peaceful country village, right in the heart of Ireland. Just over 100 kilometres from Dublin & Galway, the house is within close proximity (9km) to the M6 motorway. For reviews see www.facebook.com/BallycumberHouse
