ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
Formerly one of Connemara's most gracious 19th century country houses, Cashel House today stands as a luxurious hotel at the head of Cashel Bay in the heart of Connemara and is set in a splendid 50-acre garden of flowering shrubs and woodland walks. Built in 1840 for Captain Thomas Hazell, an English landowner, ownership of Cashel House passed through two more families before being bought by hoteliers, Dermot and Kay McEvilly in 1967.

Over the years, Cashel House Hotel has gained an international reputation for excellence as a hotel and restaurant. Luxury, tranquility and a homely atmosphere created by open turf fires are the order of the day, while a friendly and attentive staff caters for the guest's every need. Each of the bedrooms is tastefully decorated, while the secluded gardens are awash with the colours and scents of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and magnolias. Guests are free to stroll along the seashore and savour the experience of walking through the woods and streams of Connemara and onto the summit of Cashel Hill.

If you're not golfing, fishing, mountain climbing, hill walking or bird watching, then there is plenty more to occupy the mind and body. The Aran Islands can be visited via a boat journey from nearby Rossaveal, while Inishbofin Island can be explored from Cleggan. Kylemore Abbey and its surrounding countryside is well worth a visit, while Clifden and the Connemara National Park are both trips, which must be made when visiting this part of the country.
