Partry House estate lies on the limestone and marl shores of Lough Carra. Built for the Lynch family in 1667, the house stands on a rise overlooking the bright waters of "Fionnloch Ceara", renowned in history and legend. Parkland surrounding Partry House sweeps down to the lake, and the landscape changes from low hazelwood to mixed woodland, from bog to pasture, from forestry to the broad expanse of the gentle lake waters.

Partry House estate is privately owned and has been extensively restored. It is farmed organically, and is a game sanctuary. Because of its age and history, the property has been designated of historic importance to the district, and is open to the public for a limited period often in the summer months. Open dates may vary seasonally; appointments appreciated. Groups also by arrangement; please enquire.

The East Wing of the house overlooks the lake and gardens, and is now available to rent, for private self-catering guests. The Gate Lodge offers commanding view over its pastoral setting and Lough Carra, and is also available to rent. Summer rentals are weekly. Off-season rentals min 3 nights. Rates on request.
