Zetland Attractions

Zetland Country House Hotel stands on the edge of Cashel Bay in Connemara, an area of outstanding beauty. In this untamed landscape of mountains, lakes and white sandy beaches, this country house hotel is not only an oasis of elegance and warm hospitality but also the ideal base for visiting Connemara, Westport, Aran Islands and Galway City. The house, built originally as a sporting lodge in the early 1800s, derives its name from the Earl of Zetland, a frequent visitor in the last century.

Today the property is owned by the Prendergast family which has recreated the charm and elegance of those days combined with all the sophisticated luxury expected by discerning guests. Guests may indeed look over the hotel's gardens rich in flowers, shrubs and trees just from the main reception rooms or bedrooms, and sweeping down to Cashel Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, it will be apparent that the natural beauty of Connemara is never far away. The property features 22 charmingly appointed bedrooms, a cosy bar, a fine restaurant and meeting, conference and banqueting facilities. Moreover, the hotel has a tennis court and a number of leisure activities have been specifically tailored to make guests' holidays a very restful and congenial experience.
