Crannagael House is N.Ireland Tourist Board 4 Star accommodation. It is a grade 2 listed, Georgian house and is still owned by the same family that built it in the mid 18th century. It is surrounded by gardens, parkland and mature woodland.
The self contained apartment on the East wing comprises three bedrooms, one double, one twin and one single. It is attached to the main house and was once the laundry, dairy and servants quarters (although you will not be expected to participate in any of these enterprises!!) There is an upstairs bathroom and downstairs shower. It has a fully fitted kitchen, dining area and sun lounge which includes a separate patio and barbecue area. There is full oil fired central heating as well as a wood burning stove in the lounge.

Crannagael House has plenty to offer in the way of activities and attractions in the local area, walking, cycling and golf, all within a few miles radius.

Wonderful Northern Irish Experience
Hostess/Host for this property are some of the finest I have ever met!! True Irish welcome from the hosts and a glorious manor house for our stay. Rental space was spacious enough for our group of five friends. We were able to experience the Northern Irish countryside at the house with chickens, guineas, and a donkey named Rita! Lovely vegetable and flower gardens surround the property within the walled gardens. The location is convenient to larger towns for groceries, etc. and for exploring the non coastal sections of the country. I would highly recommend this property if you want to experience the true Northern Ireland countryside and lovely Irish people!

Warm and welcoming.
Jane and John make everyday a joy to be at Crannagael. We had an extended stay and didn't want to leave--so we'll be back in just a bit. Fresh farm eggs, a gorgeous apple orchard, flora constantly changing and bringing in new birds--quite a peaceful place to be. "The Other Place" was warm and welcoming with everything you could think of needing and then some. It was quiet and with beautiful views of sunrise. As well as, spacious and clean. Our daughter thoroughly enjoyed the free range of the barnyard and garden. The swing on the old oak and visiting Rita, the donkey, in the field. Highly recommend!

Crannagael House stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this delightful, spacious and very well looked-after and fitted-out property. The hosts were incredibly kind, generous (with delicious eggs and fresh produce from their fruit and vegetable plots) and helpful, without being fussy. It is spacious and set in beautiful extensive grounds (adjacent to the main house) in lovely Armagh countryside - yet within convenient driving distance to local towns and the many visitor attractions in this area. Very highly recommended.
