A closer look
A place with character.
Cashel House is old fashioned in the way people mean as a compliment: turf fires, gardens that have been tended for decades, and a family who have run the place for generations. Twenty nine rooms mean most of the wedding can stay, and the gardens run down towards the water.
It is deep in Connemara on the Wild Atlantic Way, which is a drive for guests but the kind they will thank you for. Exclusive use is available and dogs are welcome.
