ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
The original Rathsallagh House was built between 1702 and 1704 and was occupied by William Ryves, a local magistrate who played a prominent role in quashing the 1798 rebellion. Following Ryves involvement in suppressing the conflict, Irish rebels burned down his house and subsequently the old stables were converted into a fine country house that is the Rathsallagh House that we know and love today. This country house is set on 530 walled acres of peaceful parkland and is located in the most beautiful countryside in eastern Ireland.

Since opening its doors as a hotel in 1998, Rathsallagh House has won numerous awards for its cuisine and hospitality and was recently voted the "Country House of the Year" by the prestigious Georgina Campbell Guide. The atmosphere is relaxed with log and turf fires burning. Each of the bedrooms, most of which offer views of the golf course and gardens, is individually appointed, named and decorated to an extremely high standard. Rathsallagh has a lot to offer besides its unique setting, luxurious accommodation and superb championship golf course. The swimming pool and sauna is the perfect place to unwind following the day's exertions and guests are free to stroll around the walled gardens or play a game of tennis. For the more adventurous, clay pigeon shooting, archery and horse riding can be arranged.

Situated in an area referred to as "The Garden of Ireland" due to its scenic splendour, Rathsallagh is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in Ireland. The valley of Glendalough, which was home to the 6th century hermit, St. Kevin, with its two lakes, beautiful wooded valleys and ancient monastic ruins, is a particularly famous attraction. Powerscourt Gardens and Waterfall are but a short drive from the hotel, while Russborough House, located in Blessington and built between 1740 and 1750 is one of the finest houses in Ireland and is open to the public.
