About this property

Welcome to a step back in time. Williamstadt House is a beautiful Historic Country Manor House nestled near the banks of Lough Derg in the heart of southwestern Ireland. This Georgian Beauty is set amidst mature lush gardens and lawns with a variety of specimen and fruit trees and surrounded by centuries old beech, ash and oak trees.

The house boasts a private fifty acre wood which runs along the lake with trails for hiking and horse riding and its own private harbor for boating and kayaking. The park like setting allows the visitor to truly enjoy and experience a place out of time, where life takes a slower pace. Relax and take a swing beneath a 300 year old chestnut tree and watch the light play on the hills of Tipperary across the lake, enjoy an evening badminton game on the lawn, drinks and dinner under the evening sky, shimmering with stars. Soak in a beautiful Victorian bathtub and get cozy in front of a turf fire in one of the comfortable well appointed reception rooms.

The Courtyard at Williamstadt House many features including a two bed two bath cottage in the 200 year old Coach House, Known as the GameKeeper's Cottage (HomeAway listing 960200). It is newly rennovated with all the modern amenities, and makes a nice addition to the main House.

Williamstadt House and its environs provide a paradise for hiking, cycling, horse riding, water sports, fishing, golfing and wildlife viewing. For touring Ireland, it is the perfect base, being just an hours drive from Shannon Airport, an hour from Galway City, an hour from Limerick and 2 1/2 hours from Dublin.

Feature attractions within an hours drive include The Cliffs of Moher, The Burren, Galway Bay and the beaches of Lahinch and Fanore, Galway City and Bunratty Castle and Folk Park.
Williamstadt House is located one mile from the village of Whitegate, an easy stroll or cycle down small country lane. Nearby towns include the beautiful lakeside village of Mountshannon and the Historic Killaloe, with restaurants, pubs, shops and local farmers markets.

Just Perfect…

What a grand place to stay. The home was like we were stepping back in time but with all the modern amenities. Whitegate was a great location to stay if you want to see Western and Southern Ireland. Do yourself a favor and visit the local restaurant/pub. So good! Carol and Kevin are the best of the best. Carol was instrumental in making our daily jaunts absolutely wonderful. Ireland was magical and so was this place! Say “HI” to Rosie and Sally for us when you visit!

Paradise found

It’s difficult to know where to begin! Ireland is an incredible country to begin with, and staying at Williamstadt House adds that sprinkle of magic that everyone looks for on vacation. Equal parts charm and luxury…it feels like home in all the best ways. A warm hearth, a fully stocked kitchen, spacious bedrooms with welcoming beds that beckon you to sleep a little longer on a rainy morning, a courtyard out of the pages of a magazine, your own private shebeen. What more could one look for? We enjoyed the company of our gracious and warm hosts (Carole and Kevin) for two lovely meals on the patio, and thoroughly enjoyed the company of Sally and Rosie (their gentle and loving dogs) who made us (and our three children) feel right at home. The location of the house is just enough out of the way to make you feel, well, away; but close enough to the spectacle that is the Wild Atlantic Way that you won’t miss a thing! Words simply don’t do this special place justice. We are so looking forward to our next visit and consider Carole and Kevin part of our extended family. Thank you for a most memorable getaway!

A Rich Visit to Bygone Times

Our family of seven thoroughly enjoyed Williamstadt House and the owners, Carole and Kevin. There is so much to enjoy at the property: the lough (loch) with kayaks, the meadow and planting, the original courtyard with a watering trough built into the stream branch running under the house, and a cozy fireplace aglow amid family portraits, antique furniture and wonderfully eclectic furnishings. Situated at the northwest edge of County Clare, the house has a path through its 50 acres to the lake, about a 1 km walk. The house is about an hour from places such as Galway, the Cliffs of Moher and the Graves of the Leinstermen. Two closer places of interest are Bunratty Castle and Craggaunowen, each about half an hour away. We went to nearby Feakle, renowned for folk music, to Peppers Pub. One hint on getting there from Dublin: don’t take the Google Maps route in from the North, because of all the narrow roads, instead take the southerly route toward Limerick, mostly motorway! Thank you Carole and Kevin for the great stay and wonderful conversations.
