About Ballynahinch Castle

Welcome to Ballynahinch Castle Hotel, one of Ireland's finest luxury castle hotels and a member of Relais & Chateaux. Set in a private 700 acre estate of woodland, rivers and walks in the heart of Connemara, Co. Galway. This authentic and unpretentious Castle Hotel stands proudly overlooking its famous salmon fishery, with a backdrop of the beautiful 12 Bens Mountain range.

During your stay relax in your beautifully appointed bedroom or suite with wonderful views, wake up to the sound of the river meandering past your window before enjoying breakfast in the elegant restaurant. The restaurant was awarded Ireland's Fine Dining Hotel Restaurant of the year in January 2024 at the Gold Medal Awards. Executive Head Chef Danni Barry and her team only use the best of local & estate produce. Danni was awarded Chef of the Year in October 2024 by Georgina Campbell. 

A stay in Ballynahinch Castle is the perfect destination for an activity break or simply relaxing by one of our six open log fires. Expert guides are available to assist in every activity, on the sea, the mountains, rivers and trails or in the library exploring the rich culture of this spectacular region.
