    Glenlo Abbey

    Glenlo Abbey

    Found on a stunning 138 acre estate, nestled next to Ireland’s largest lake, Lough Corrib, Glenlo Abbey Hotel offers an inviting and luxurious base for all its guests.

    The wonderfully rugged natural scenery of Connemara is found on your doorstep here, which makes for quite a contrast to the vibrant and bustling Galway City.

    The 46 bedrooms and suites evoke a wealthy 19th century manor and are all vastly spacious, some with uninterrupted views of the dramatic West of Ireland landscape and some with views of the River Corrib, Lower Lough Corrib, Connemara, and the 18th Century Abbey and Walled Garden.

    Food lovers can step back in time and dine aboard the Pullman Restaurant. Comprising of two original Pullman carriages, beautifully restored and set on the grounds of the hotel. Book a private booth or sit by the window with spectacular views overlooking Glenlo Abbey Estate and Lough Corrib. Converted into a wonderful restaurant car without losing any of its original character, this historic Pullman train carriage had been residing at Elsenham Station in Hertfordshire, England, before joining Glenlo Abbey Hotel Galway.

    Here you will find a 9 Hole Championship Golf course where you can enjoy golf lessons on a one to one basis with a golf professional. Other activities here include fishing on Lough Corrib, Falconry and Archery.

    Galway and the West Coast

    Ashford Castle

    Found on the utmost tip of Lough Corrib, the glorious Ashford Castle sits right on the border of County Galway and County Mayo in an awe-inspiring 350-acre estate. With a rich history spanning nearly 800 years, the extensive refurbishment of Ashford Castle truly encapsulates the very best of Irish heritage with traditional elegance and finesse.  This carefully restored castle is part of National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World and seeks to support the local community and suppliers.

    The hotel’s 83 rooms and suites are decorated with a royal colour palette of deep greens and brilliant reds. Some suites offer expansive views of the largest lake within the Republic of Ireland while regal four-poster beds along with original portrait art will effortlessly transport you to a fanciful world of ancient charm.

    You can tantalise your tastebuds with creative Irish cuisine in one of the three restaurants and experience fine dining fit for a king in the regal George V Dining Room. Or, for a more relaxed atmosphere, head over to the charming Connaught Room for afternoon tea while admiring the magnificent views across the gardens and Lough Corrib.

    You won’t be short of activities during your stay; make use of the prime location on Lough Corrib with kayaking, fishing and lake cruising. Or take the comfort of the castle out with you, on a luxury powerboat charter. On the vast estate, you’ll find a pristine golf course, tennis courts and there’s the option to try sports such as archery and clay pigeon shooting. Inside, be sure to experience the glamour of the big screen in the state-of-the-art cinema room, before being pampered like a silver screen star yourself in the award-winning hotel spa.
