Gregans Castle Hotel
But they’re there, if you look, and it’s easy to see why — this place is a classic, surrounded by gardens and paths, overlooking Galway Bay and the unique rocky landscape of the Burren. The house itself comprises some 20 bedrooms, as well as seemingly endless drawing rooms, lounges, libraries. The guest rooms are all different, ranging widely in size, from petite bedrooms to sprawling suites, and more subtly in style, from the absolutely traditional oldest rooms to the faintly contemporary newer suites.
Hotel amenities stick to the essentials; this is a classic country house hotel, not an all-inclusive resort. The dining room serves modern Irish & European food, made from local and regional ingredients, including organic Burren beef and lamb, and local Atlantic seafood. There’s plenty to see in the surrounding rugged and rocky countryside, and even options for golfers, but in the evenings, guests may find themselves forced to socialize in the Corkscrew Bar or the drawing room — the sort of old-fashioned country life we’ve all at least seen at the movies, if not in our daily lives.
How to get there:
Gregans Castle Hotel is approximately a 1 hour drive from Shannon International Airport, 45 minutes from Galway City and 2 1/2 hours from Dublin.
Gregans Castle Hotel is a seasonal property that is open from mid-February through December 1.

Lovely hotel. Very much like a home. Beautiful rooms and public spaces. Well situated.
The hotel room and grounds were exceptional. At the same time, both homey and elegant. We enjoyed a good amount of time watching the birds in our semi-private garden, and were pleasantly joined in a walk by one of the resident felines. The smell of a wood burning fireplace that greeted us instantly welcomed us in, and we felt right at home with board games and champagne (and cookies!) in the salon.
The decor, the beautiful setting and the small number of rooms. The food was absolutely exquisite.
I put all my notes in previous comment field. You can post them on tablet .
