Originally from Dublin, I visited this wonderful area for many years before choosing to make it my home. I was enchanted by Terryglass and its magical surroundings, and I know you will be too.
My dream for River Run was to create a space that felt homely and cosy, but also felt like stepping into a luxurious getaway. I loved its perfectly central location whilst still feeling far away from it all. In 2024 I also invested in a local restaurant, The Derg Inn, to solidify my purpose here.
I know that Terryglass, and the Lough Derg area, is a true hidden gem in Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands and I invite you to come see for yourself. Why not book your escape with us, we are excited to welcome you.

Terryglass
The Irish name for Terryglass is Tír Dhá Glas and means ‘land of the two streams’.
The village is located on the R493 regional road on the north-eastern shore of Lough Derg near where the River Shannon enters the Lough. It is a civil parish in the historical barony of Ormond Lower. Terryglass won the Irish Tidy Towns Competition in 1983 and 1997, followed by Tipperary’s Tidiest Village in 2019. More recently, the village won the Pride of Place Award in 2020 – this award recognises improvements made by local communities to create civic pride in their area.
