Amidst the dreamy landscape of western Ireland, Ballynahinch Castle welcomes you for an exclusive stay surrounded by the stunning views that exemplify the region of Connemara. Set against a magnificent natural backdrop of rolling hills, this exceptional hotel is nestled between picturesque green forests and the tranquil waters of the Owenmore River, which flows at its feet. It is a setting made for magical walks, memorable bike rides and great fishing. A 19th-century edifice standing within an estate of nearly 700 acres, Ballynahinch Castle prides itself on being both majestic and warm, refined and simple. Its cosy rooms, with large windows to make the most of the views, provide the perfect accent to the surrounding Irish countryside. Its restored walled garden invites you to enjoy a sense of tranquillity, and its private collection of Irish art is truly one of the finest in the country.
