![]() Ballynahinch
Castle is set in the heart of Connemara and stands proud and
majestic overlooking the famous Ballynahinch River. The Castle
has been intertwined in the history of Connemara and its people
for many centuries, from the days of the O'Flaherty chieftains
and Grace O'Malley to Humanity Dick Martin and H.R.H. the Maharajaj
Ranjitsinji.
The location of the Hotel is excellent for those wishing to
visit the beautiful Connemara and Galway countryside. Internally
it has a charm which can best be described as 'Casual Country
Elegance'. Open log fires glow in their reception rooms and
all your needs will be attended to by their friendly professional
staff, soft restful colour schemes haromize with the natural
charm of the surroundings in our tastefully decorated bedrooms.
Local fresh produce is used to create culinary delights for
our dining room with its panoramic view of Ballynahinch River.
Ballynahinch Castle is surrounded by 350 acres of woodlands,
rivers and lakes which offer miles of scenic walks. In addition
the Ballynahinch Fishery is world-renowned as one of the finest
salmon and seatrout rivers in Ireland. Fishing is reserved for
Hotel guests so you can rest assured that you are not crowded
out. This is part of the "real" Ireland, wonderful countryside
with some of the best woodcock shooting available in this country.
Tennis, pony trekking and hill climbing are all close at hand
and the Connemara Golf Club is only 17 miles from the Hotel.
The beauties and majesty of Connemara can be enjoyed to the
fullest while staying at Ballynahinch Castle which has an aura
of its own which few forget and most return for.
