Sustainability at Ballynahinch Castle

Sustainability

Ballynahinch Castle is set in a private 700-acre estate of woodland, rivers and walks in the heart of Connemara, Co. Galway. This authentic and unpretentious Castle Hotel stands proudly overlooking its famous salmon fishery, with a backdrop of the beautiful 12 Bens Mountain range.

We recognise the impact our operations have on the environment and are committed to identifying and minimising any detrimental effects that may occur. In line with our long history of caring for the flora and fauna of Connemara, we will continually strive to improve our environmental practices in a range of areas, including energy, waste management and water usage. By working together, we can contribute to a cleaner and safer environment and ensure environmental issues remain a focal point and receive due attention.

It's beginning to look a lot like autumn. It’s such a special time of year here at Ballynahinch Castle. From watching the leaves change colour to getting cosy by the fire with a good book and a cocktail, there’s a lot of magic in the air. 🍂💫

Exceptional experience!

Very romantic, attentive staff and fantastic food! Flawless execution at every turn. The prix fixe menu in the main dining room is worth every penny if you like interesting food with exceptional presentation. They have extensive hiking trails and the rooms in the main building overlooking the river are beautiful.
