A vacation at Lorum Old Rectory provides a wealth of possibilities for exploring the region's many Heritage & Archaeological Sites; Historic Houses & Gardens; as well as the opportunity to purchase quality crafts from some of Ireland's best traditional and contemporary Craft Outlets.

The many, sometimes unwelcome, 'visitors' to Ireland - the Celts, the Vikings, the Normans and the infamous Cromwell - landed along the east and south east coasts. Most left their mark in the pleasing form of Dolmens, Viking Towns and Cities and Norman Castles. A great number of these ancient sites have been restored and the substantial ruins of many others remain.

Traders and merchants have also traversed the waterways of the Barrow, Nore and Suir for centuries. Located in the Barrow river valley, in the heart of the south east, Lorum Old Rectory is within striking distance of many important historic sites, notable gardens and other places of interest.
