Ballyinahinch Castle

acres of woodlands, rivers and walks in the heart of Connemara.
It stands proud and majestic overlooking the famous Ballynahinch
Salmon River, whilst being surrounded the splendor of the Twelve
Bens Mountain Range. As you stroll the grounds you my encounter
some of the other inhabitants of Ballynahinch. Among the many
species of wildlife one can expect to meet are mallard, teal,
foxes, maybe a view of a swooping kestrel or merlin or perhaps
if you are lucky you may glimpse the elusive tree dwelling Pine
Martin.
Zetland Country House
The House, built originally as a Sporting Lodge in the early 1800s,
derives its name from the Earl of Zetland, a frequent visitor
in the last century. Today, the Prendergast family has recreated
the charm and elegance of those days combined with all the sophisticated
luxury expected by discerning guests. But the natural beauty of
Connemara is never far away. From the main reception rooms and
bedrooms, you look over gardens rich in flowers, shrubs and trees,
sweeping down to Cashel Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Delphi Lodge
Delphi Lodge is a delightful 1830s country house offering top-quality accommodation in one of the most spectacular settings in Ireland. Located in a valley of unparalleled beauty, the 1000-acre Delphi estate is one of Ireland’s hidden treasures. Being surrounded by the tallest mountains in Connemara and overlooking a pretty lake, the historic Lodge is the perfect holiday hideaway. Formerly the sporting lodge of the Marquis of Sligo, Delphi is wonderfully secluded, yet within easy striking distance of beautiful beaches, championship golf courses, horse riding and all the sights of Connemara and Mayo.
