"Nestled in the heart of Connemara between the seaside villages Recess and Clifden is the three-story Ballynahinch Castle Hotel. The 700-acre estate that the manor sits on is the stuff of Emerald Isle dreams. Rushy rivers and streams swimming with salmon and brown trout cut through the land, the shadow grey Twelve Bens mountain range looms in the distance, and a freshwater lake borders the east edge of the premises. The bedrooms, foyer, and bar are cozy and comfortable, but Ballynahinch Castle Hotel is no indoor retreat. This is where you stay to enjoy nature’s offerings: clay-pigeon shooting, fly-fishing, and guided forest rambles are just a few ways to do so."
