Ballynahinch Castle Hotel
About
Nestled within a 700‑acre, woodland‑rich estate in the heart of Connemara, Ballynahinch Castle Hotel offers a tranquil escape that feels as grand as the castle itself. With 48 elegantly appointed rooms and suites, guests can wake to river breezes and river views, then enjoy a leisurely breakfast served in the award‑winning Owenmore Restaurant. The hotel’s warm, fire‑lit common rooms and intimate gardens provide a restful backdrop to any stay. For the adventurous traveler, the surrounding estate offers a wealth of outdoor pursuits. Guided walks wind through ancient woodlands and along the Owenmore River, while fly‑fishing and cycling tours showcase the region’s wild beauty. The spacious woodland saunas, the celebrated boat tour to Roundstone Bay, and the historic Berridge fishing lodges add variety to a weekend getaway or longer retreat. Culinary lovers find Ballynahinch a culinary treasure. The Owenmore Restaurant, Crowned Ireland’s Fine Dining Hotel Restaurant of the Year in January 2024, serves dishes crafted with locally sourced produce and ocean‑fresh ingredients. The Fisherman's Pub & Ranji Room offers relaxed yet sophisticated fare, and both venues feature tasting menus that highlight Connemara’s rich gastronomic heritage.
