Exclusive Riverside Estate Accommodation Near Limerick City
Escape to a world of history, character and tranquillity at Parteen A Lax, a remarkable riverside estate set on the banks of the River Shannon, less than a mile from the heart of Limerick City. Once home to generations of the O'Brien family, descendants of Brian Boru, this unique country house offers guests the rare opportunity to enjoy exclusive use of a private historic estate with gardens, river frontage and accommodation for family gatherings, celebrations, retreats and special occasions.

Unlike a hotel or purpose-built holiday home, Parteen A Lax is a genuine historic house, rich in atmosphere and individuality. Every room has its own character, every window its own view, and every stay becomes part of the continuing story of the estate.

The house centres around elegant reception rooms overlooking the gardens and river, including a large drawing room with grand piano and wood-burning stove, a formal dining room, and a spacious country kitchen where guests naturally gather throughout their stay. Beyond the house lie mature gardens, riverside walks and eight acres of grounds to explore at your leisure.

Accommodation
The estate comfortably accommodates large family groups, wedding parties, corporate retreats and reunions across a collection of distinctive bedrooms and private guest accommodation.

The principal bedroom, The Shannon Suite, features a super-king mahogany sleigh bed, a private seating area and beautiful views across the gardens towards the River Shannon.

The Green Room offers classic country-house charm with an antique four-poster bed overlooking the gardens.

The Pink Room is one of the most sought-after bedrooms, featuring a four-poster bed, garden and river views, and a spacious private ensuite bathroom.

The Red Room enjoys views across the estate and provides comfortable accommodation for couples, with space for an additional bed when required.

The Purple Room is a compact double room offering wonderful views of the gardens and river, ideal for guests who value character and setting over extra space.

For additional privacy, guests may also enjoy The Garden Retreat, a self-contained garden apartment attached to the main house. With its own entrance, private parking, sitting room, kitchenette, terrace and double bedroom, it is particularly popular with couples, grandparents, retreat leaders or guests seeking a little independence from the main group.

Completing the accommodation is the Fish Room, a flexible single or twin bedroom located beside the kitchen and available as part of exclusive house hire. It provides useful additional sleeping space for children, teenagers, friends or solo travellers within larger parties.

Additional guest beds can be added to selected bedrooms, and the house's generous reception spaces allow considerable flexibility for larger family gatherings using the sofa beds.

Life at Parteen A Lax
Start the day with breakfast overlooking the gardens. Spend the afternoon exploring the riverside grounds, fishing nearby waters, visiting local attractions or simply relaxing beneath the mature trees that frame the estate. In the evening, gather around the dining table, enjoy music in the drawing room or watch the sunset through the gardens towards the Shannon.

Whether you're planning a family celebration, a milestone birthday, an intimate wedding, a retreat with friends or simply a memorable gathering in a setting unlike any other, Parteen A Lax offers privacy, history and atmosphere in equal measure.

Here, you are not simply renting a house. You are becoming temporary custodians of a unique Irish riverside estate.
