Luxury Riverside Holiday Home in stunning Ballina / Killaloe - The Derg House

This stunning Riverside Holiday Home is located on the eastern banks of the beautiful River Shannon in the scenic town of Ballina, County Tipperary & looks across the river to historic Killaloe in County Clare and the mountains beyond making it the perfect vacation rental getaway location. Our beautiful comfortable modern architecturally designed home is finished to a five star level & is available for rental throughout the year. It will appeal to couples and families seeking peace, tranquility, comfort set in beautiful safe location. It has been designed in an open plan style. We have used high ceilings, large skylights & lots of glass to allow in as much light as possible and bring the magnificent river & mountain views right into the home. It is fitted throughout with all the modern conveniences you could want including satellite TV and also has hi-speed wireless Internet for those who feel the need to keep in touch with the modern world. The house sleeps up to 8 adults in comfort and but can sleep up to 10 if needed. We have cot/crib for babies as well as a high chair. The house is naturally warm and has gas central heating for those chilly winter mornings. The rate we quote includes all utilities, linens and taxes, we do not charge extra.

The mature secure gardens feature a Liscannor stone patio outside the kitchen and living rooms allowing the large doors to be opened out on sunny days bringing the gardens and views into the home. A stone path makes its ways through the grass to a large wooden deck looking down onto the river below where a large BBQ allows for outdoor cooking & dinning. The garden and decking have outdoor lighting and an outdoor power supply.

Local amenities and activities include shops, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, river cruising, fishing, sailing, canoing, walking, hiking, cycling, boat hire, golfing and much more. The purpose built tourist office is located on the historic 13 arch bridge that's links Ballina & Killaloe. It houses the tourist office, local library and the newly developed Brian Ború Centre. Every Sunday morning a local farmers market offering all sorts of local produce from food to gifts takes place 'between the waters' opposite the tourist office and should not be missed. Ballina has many good restaurants and pubs including the exceptional 'Cherrytree restaurant'. Killaloe has a network of charming narrow streets, flanked by old shops & houses, that climb up the steep hillside & look down over the 13th century cathedral. Water sports are the key to the popularity of Ballina & Killaloe. Boats of all kinds from rowing boats to cabin cruisers are available for hire and water-skiing has long been popular. Short tours of the River Shannon and Lough Derg are available from the Ballina side aboard the 50-seater passenger boat Spirit of Killaloe. During July the Brian Boru Festival brings traditional music and a variety of entertainment, inside and outside, to the towns for a week. Towards the end of July the Killaloe International Music Festival centered on the historic cathedral, concentrates on the classics and is growing in reputation around the world. Every September, Killaloe is the venue for the European Pike Angling Championships. The historic towns of Killaloe & Ballina offer an exceptionally beautiful riverside setting and access to Ireland’s greatest waterway. The River Shannon & Erne system is a popular cruising, boating & angling destination extending from Donegal in the northwest of the country, with canal extensions to Galway in the west, Dublin in the east and Waterford in the south all the way to Limerick where it enters the Atlantic Ocean at Foynes where a historic seaplane museum tells the story of transatlantic air travel and the invention of Irish coffee.

Our property is located just 30 minutes from Shannon airport, 20 minutes from Limerick, 1 hour from Galway, 1 hour 45 minutes from Dublin Airport, it is an ideal base for exploring Ireland and it's Celtic heritage.

We look forward to welcoming you to this unique part of beautiful historic Ireland.

Family Fun - a return to our roots
The Derg House was perfect for our stay with lots of space and wonderful views from the house and from the garden. We enjoyed all aspects of the house with seating areas for all types of activities. Around the fire pit in the evenings was an especially lovely time and we saw the Aurora Borealis which was very special. Definitely a prime location for trips and for seeing family in near-by Nenagh. Thank you for a memorable vacation.

Six Stars
We would give our 8 night stay 6 stars if we could. Everything exceeded our expectations. Perfect amount of room for 6 of us (3 generations), lovely stroll into the quaint villages of Ballina and Killaloe. The vacation home was clean and well stocked. The views were beautiful and relaxing. We made several meals on the outdoor gas grill and ate all of our meals on the patio, watching the swans and boats float by. Communication was quick and easy. A couple fabulous restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Thank you for the hospitality!

Perfect Visit- wished we could have stayed longer!
Highly recommend. The house is well equipped, and was perfect for our party of 6 adults. We loved utilizing the back garden, with it’s wonderful water views. The town is very walkable, and we had great food at Goosers and Flanagans.

Stayed with my 2 kids, son in law, and granddaughter who is 3 years old. It was perfect for us. Very private and secure for the toddler too. I always bring cleaning supplies on trips just in case, but thankfully didn't need to use them. The House was spotless and really comfortable. LOVED IT!!!!!

Perfect for a Ballina/Killaloe Stay
The house is exactly as in the photos. It was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was exceptionally kitted out for feeding a large group. We were lucky with the weather and virtually lived on the deck watching the boats go by! One tip - if anybody is visiting soon, then you should book your restaurants early as we found it difficult some days due to Covid dining restrictions. Our best picks were Mat the Threshers in Birdhill and Larkins in Garrykennedy. Flanagans on the Lake was the closest and a lovely spot. We'll be back!!

Even though there was some mixed up with the date of our arrival Roisin and David handled it very well and Eamon was great getting the house ready for us in no time.
