Holiday Homes Roscommon

Roscommon – the heart of undiscovered Ireland.

Roscommon is home to many treasures - castles and ancient kings, stately homes and wonderful landscapes, where shimmering rivers, lakes and forest parks are plentiful. The mighty River Shannon, over 200 miles in length, flows through the eastern border of the county. There couldn’t be a better place to take a cruising holiday or a self catering break. The landscape is peaceful and un-spoilt, dotted with small interesting towns and villages, all of which have cosy water-side pubs and excellent restaurants.

Roscommon is brimming with enchanting history and heritage. It boasts many archaeological gems including Rathcroghan, ancient home of the High Kings with the award-winning Cruachan Aí Visitor Centre, the Georgian mansion King House in Boyle, Clonalis House in Castlerea and Strokestown Park House which also boasts fine restored gardens and the Famine Museum.

There’s plenty to do outdoors in Roscommon. Golf enthusiasts have a choice of many splendid courses. Walkers and cyclists have hundreds of miles of undisturbed roads and tracks to enjoy, and also 2 walking trails - the Suck Valley Way and Arigna Miners Way. Roscommon is surrounded by prime coarse fishing rivers and lakes which have consistently produced good bags of exceptionally sized fish. Lough Key is one of the most beautiful lakes in Ireland, is navigable from the Shannon via the Boyle River, and the jetty at Lough Key harbours pleasure cruisers from that great river. Stay in self catering holiday homes in Lough Key Wood Cottages.
