Situated in the heart of Connemara on the West coast of Ireland, Cashel House Hotel is set in 50 acres of award winning gardens containing flowering shrubs and woodland walks. The location is an ideal base from which to enjoy walking, beaches, sea and lake fishing, golf, horse riding, Kylemore Gardens and trips of Aran and Inish Boffin islands.
