Attractive, mid 17th Century, refurbished, Georgian town house with all bedrooms en suite. Surrounded by landscaped gardens the house has historical value as the only Irish house and perhaps the principal house apart from Haworth Parsonage in Yorkshire, to have associations with the Brontes. Situated in the midlands on Banagher Hill, Offaly, overlooking the town & offering splendid views of the surrounding countryside including the river Shannon.

Renowned for its hospitality, this handsome Georgian house (1740) became a country retreat in 1850, welcoming then as now visiting Circuit Judges, MP's and history makers. Restored in 1987, by the present owners, to its former glory, the Lodge is an experience, containing many antiques while remaining in its classic old style with some original features. The Rahan Lodge is an ideal base for touring and a haven for the weary. Close to all amenities of Tullamore town.
