Explore the unique beauty of Irelands most fascinating house Hidden inside a secluded Irish valley lies Luggala an exquisite eighteenth-century house at the centre of a 5 000-acre estate. In 1937 Ernest Guinness presented Luggala to his youngest daughter Oonagh

Oonagh described Luggala as the most decorative honey pot in Ireland & made it the centre of a dazzling social world that included peers painters & poets journalists & junkies scholars & socialites.
