Abbeyglen Castle
This is how a stay in a castle should be. The grey stone fortress perched on a low hill might look stern and unforgiving from a distance, but inside it’s all welcoming charm. It has an overall ambiance of slightly faded nobility, with roomy lounges where chairs are grouped around…$$$Around the County - Hotel
Ballynahinch Castle
At the side of glass-like Owenmore River, near the foot of Ben Lettery, this gabled manor house looks too good to be true. It’s a postcard setting, perfect in almost every way. The 16th-century building, once the seat of the O’Flaherty chieftains, is now a casually elegant hotel.…$$$Around the County - Hotel
Currarevagh House
This elegant Italianate manor house, built in 1842, sits just outside tiny Oughterard, in the middle of a huge private park, at the edge of the clear blue waters of Lough Corrib. The house is a perfect retreat—its spacious lounges have fires crackling at the hearth, ideal for…$$Around Town - Hotel
Delphi Lodge
This Irish country hideaway looks almost too good to be real—a vine-covered 18th-century country house dwarfed by mountains on a 1,000-acre lakefront estate.

Errisbeg Lodge
This mountainside lodge near the little town of Roundstone feels more isolated than it is.

Guest rooms are simply decorated with pine…$Around the County - Hotel
Renvyle House
This grand old house on the rocky edge of the Atlantic Ocean seems truly in the middle of nowhere, although it is near Connemara National Park. Still, it’s worth the journey, and not just for these breathtaking windswept views. You'll have miles of pristine Irish wilderness to…$$Around the County - Hotel
The Anglers Return
Surrounded by beautiful gardens, this lovely, artsy retreat was built as a hunting lodge in the 19th century; today it’s run with great charm by Lynn Hill, a talented artist. Bedrooms are simple and modestly sized, furnished with antiques. The views over the grounds and nearby river…$Around Town
