Situated in wild and beautiful countryside on the west coast of Ireland, Kilgallán is a former Church of Ireland chapel, built in 1836. Kilgallán is now converted into a romantic, comfortable and atmospheric holiday home, ready to welcome you for a relaxing and uplifting experience in a very special place.

It stands on a large site, surrounded by rolling Mayo hills, near the Atlantic Ocean. While little is recorded about its history, we do know that in 1901 the belltower was struck by lightning causing significant damage and precluding its use as a place of worship. The church languished, unused, for almost a hundred years. During this time what was left of the roof was removed for tax reasons, leaving little more than a shell, soon taken over by animals and vegetation.

Built of limestone, with bags of character, it featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs, and was described by Kevin McCloud as  'the best Church conversion I have ever seen'.  Kilgallán is close to Clew Bay on the Atlantic Ocean, with stunning beaches, sailing & sea fishing nearby. The lively heritage town of Westport is only 5k away and Fitzgeralds country pub is just a short walk away.
