Ballynahinch Castle Hotel & Estate

Ballynahinch Castle is set amid hundreds of acres of grounds and surrounded by the wild beauty of Connemara’s craggy mountains. The original eighteenth-century building has been much adapted over the years, but its key qualities – tranquillity, space, relaxed comfort and natural beauty – remain splendidly intact.
