Cashel House Hotel
Welcome To Cashel House Hotel
Cashel House Hotel, formerly one of Connemara's most gracious mid-19th century country houses was opened as an hotel by skilled hoteliers, Dermot and Kay McEvilly in 1968. Cashel House Hotel is a
luxury 4 star hotel which stands at the head of Cashel Bay, in the heart of Connemara on the West coast of Ireland and is set in a 50 acre
award winning garden of flowering shrubs and woodland walks.
Luxury and tranquility are offered to discerning guests in an atmosphere created by turf and log fires and a friendly and helpful staff and by tastefully decorated
rooms with full central heating. In 1969 the late General and Madame De Gaulle
spent two weeks of their Irish holiday there. Beaches, golf, salmon and
sea-trout fishing and Horse Riding are available in the vicinity. The hotel
has its own hard tennis court, tiny private beach.
The gardens, withdrawn and quietly secluded are a delight with their enchanting cultivations of exotic and exquisite flowering shrubs - many imported from Tibet - including rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and the rare beautiful
magnolias. Our guests may walk along the seashore, through woods and streams and eventually onto the summit of
Cashel Hill. Suitable for longer restful stays.
Romantic old world two Bedroom Cottage to let. Bay View Cottage has outstanding views of Cloonisle Bay and full use of Hotel facilities.
We also cater for small private weddings and small conferences with full use of hotel facilities - in the off season.
