Ervallagh, Roundstone
Co Galway
Ireland

The Long House sits on a little hill above the small harbour and hamlet of Ervallagh, not far from the village of Roundstone, Connemara on the west coast of Ireland. 

The house is simple, practical and charming, big enough to accommodate eight people in four bedrooms. 

The Long house is available to rent all year round. 

Getting There

The Long House is just over one hour's drive from the centre of Galway City. The journey out into Connemara is very diverse, passing bogs, mountains, lakes, rivers and finally arriving at Roundstone and the sea.

If you're travelling from other regions of Ireland, or from abroad, you will find some transport information below.

 

By Air 
Two local airports serve the Connemara region with a range of domestic, UK and European flights landing at Ireland West airport Knock (www.irelandwestairport.com)  To the south Shannon International Airport (www.shannonairport.com)  has daily flights from several US destinations and a range of flights to destinations across the UK and Europe.  Shannon is an easier journey, 160 km away with an excellent dual carriageway stretching most of the way from Galway city to the airport.  Dublin Airport is also a good option, with regular buses or trains to Galway.

Car Hire is available at all three airports as well as good bus links to Galway city.
