Londonderry villa rental,
This contemporary property offers a unique Irish holiday experience. You can enjoy its many attractions in the company of family and friends; with your golfing companions or as a getaway retreat for small meetings and think tanks. The house provides many of the amenities of a good hotel while being fundamentally a self -catering facility. The property is surrounded by mature trees and is peaceful and tranquil, set in two acres of beautifully manicured grounds.
The gardens have been designed in tiers of sandstone patios surrounded by dense shrubs, providing secluded areas for leisurely walks or just relaxing with a good book. Ard means height or peak, Aulinn (or Alainn) means beautiful. The name suits the superbly equipped five bedroom, 7000 square foot (700m) house. If you enjoy entertaining you will appreciate this spacious, well appointed, contemporary home.
