About The Hotel
“My house…stands on a lake, but it stands also on the sea – waterlillies meet the golden seaweed. It is as if, in the faery land of Connemara at the extreme end of Europe, the incongruous flowed together at last, and the sweet and bitter blended. Behind me, islands and mountainous mainland share in a final reconciliation, at this, the world’s end”. So wrote Oliver St. John Gogarty in 1927 of his then home.
Spectacularly located nestling between the blue Twelve Bens mountain range and the Shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Renvyle has a tremendous history and it has always attracted famous people from all over the world. The house has been pulled down, rebuilt, burnt to ashes, rebuilt again. It has been home to Donal O’Flaherty, Chieftain of one of the oldest and most powerful Clans of Connaught, and to Mrs. Caroline Blake who was the first to open it as a hotel way back in 1883. But, enough of the past, for Renvyle has been a hotel for all seasons and has always moved with the times and is a stylish destination which is hugely popular with the Irish public, who return again and again for blissful respite and evenings filled with fun.
Situated on a 150 acre estate, Renvyle has a freshwater lake teaming with trout, a heated outdoor pool, tennis courts and its own beach. There is clay pigeon shooting in season, kayaks and boats to enjoy on the lake, hot tubs overlooking the Atlantic and beautiful coastal and woodland walks. Pets are allowed “within reason” – enquire in advance - for that doesn’t mean Pooch can sit up with his Cartier collar at the dining table!
Bed & Breakfast starts from €115.00 per person and there are fabulous packages throughout the year including some of special interest such as Painting Breaks, Fly Fishing instruction, Gardening and Walking Breaks. Sixty- eight bedrooms (including six suites), are spacious and very comfortable with all that even the most difficult guest could possibly desire. Excellent food is based on fresh local produce, Connemara lamb, game, fresh fish.
