Galligans Cottage is the ideal base for day trips to Bunratty Castle and folk park, the beautiful Dingle Peninsula, the Cliffs of Moher and the Rock of Cashel to name but a few of the beauty spots in this area of Ireland. Yet it is far enough away from the main tourist areas that it has maintained a certain authenticity. The Lough Gur region is steeped in history and has many ancient sites. The hill walking on the Ballyhouras and the Galtees is superb. The Ballyhouras also has a new state of the art biking track, where bikes can be hired, which is one of the best of its kind in Europe.
Galligans Cottage itself oozes character and is the perfect place to come back to at the end of a day of touring, walking or cycling.
