Review
Zetland Country House Hotel stands on the edge of Cashel Bay in Connemara, an area of outstanding beauty. In this untamed landscape of mountains, lakes and white sandy beaches, this country house hotel is an oasis of elegance and warm hospitality. Owned and managed by John and Mona Prendergast, and their son Ruaidhri, Zetland House invites you to enjoy gracious living as it used to be in times long gone.
The House, built originally as a Sporting Lodge in the early 1800s, derives its name from the Earl of Zetland, a frequent visitor in the last century. Today, the Prendergast family has recreated the charm and elegance of those days combined with all the sophisticated luxury expected by discerning guests. But the natural beauty of Connemara is never far away. From the main reception rooms and bedrooms, you look over gardens rich in flowers, shrubs and trees, sweeping down to Cashel Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
If you're not golfing, fishing, mountain climbing, hill walking or bird watching, then there is plenty more to occupy the mind and body. The Aran Islands can be visited via a boat journey from nearby Rossaveal, while Inishbofin Island can be explored from Cleggan. Kylemore Abbey and its surrounding countryside is well worth a visit, while Clifden and the Connemara National Park are both trips, which must be made when visiting this part of the country.
