Our party of 7 stayed here for a family wedding. The house is absolutely gorgeous, spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. The owner and agent were very helpful and friendly with any questions. We loved the tranquility and the beauty of the surrounding areas, and would love to return another time

The Old Parochial House in Clonmany lived up to our expectations. We (my husband and I, our children and grandchildren) spent a wonderful 6 weeks there celebrating my 80th birthday. The house has been lovingly restored with every modern convenience in place. Hugh met us when we arrived and showed us around, and was available at any time. Hugh’s wife Brenda was my saviour for household chores. I can’t say enough good things about the house and the help we received from Hugh and Brenda. Anyone’s wishing to rent this gorgeous house will have no regrets. We have such wonderful memories.
