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 explore; there’s also a golf course and a pool—rare amenities in these parts. The poet W. B. Yeats honeymooned here when it was a family home; Winston Churchill was also a regular guest. Lounges are sprawling and wood-floored, warmed by open fires. Guest rooms vary in size and decor—some are grand and spacious, others are small and cozy. Most have tasteful, masculine decor. The in-house restaurant offers divine, European-inspired Irish cooking.
