Description:
About 3km (2 miles) outside of Galway on the main Clifden road, this secluded, sprawling stone hotel overlooks Lough Corrib in a sylvan setting, surrounded by a 9-hole golf course. Dating from 1740, this was originally the ancestral home of the Ffrench and Blake families, 2 of the 14 families who ruled the city for centuries. The building has retained its grandeur in the public areas, with hand-carved wood furnishings, hand-loomed carpets, ornate plasterwork, and an extensive collection of Irish art and antiques. The guest rooms, which have lovely views of Lough Corrib and the countryside, are luxuriously decorated with traditional furnishings, as well as marbled bathrooms.

Rooms and especially bathroom needs updating, loud noises made ever time you flush. Staff was very friendly and extremely providing for every detail. Breakfast was very good.
