Cashel, Co Galway

Cashel House, formerly one of Connemara's most gracious private homes, stands at the head of the head of Cashel Bay in a tranquil and secluded setting, a 40-acre estate of flowering shrubs and woodland walks. It has quickly gained an international reputation for good food and comfort in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere; carefully cooked, fresh garden and sea produce are its specialities, and there are open turf fires. In 1969, the late General and Madame De Gaulle spent 2 weeks of their Irish holiday here. The house is furnished with fine antiques and other treasures. The charming, recently upgraded bedrooms are beautifully appointed and all have Tvs, direct-dial telephones and hairdryers. Beaches, golf and sea fishing are available in the vicinity. There is a hard tennis court, tiny private beach and horse-riding facilities. No pets. Situated on the main Galway/ Clifden road; turn left at Recess. All major credit cards are accepted.

First class guide to Ireland's bed and breakfast lodging

Bed and Breakfast Ireland reviewed in Chicago Tribune
Maybe you'll stay in the place described as a pre-Famine wisteria-covered farmhouse -one of several overnight options in Westport, County Mayo. Or maybe you'll opt for the large Georgian mansion just beyond an iron gateway in Ballymote, County Sligo. Maybe you'll stay in one of the other 400 or so accommodations in this revised and expanded version of the book (Bed and Breakfast Ireland) that first hit the United States in 1991. Only an occasional line drawing interrupts the text; and in the back of the 319 page book, regional maps-which include ferry routes-cover the whole of the Irish Isle, from Derry and Belfast in the north to the Dingle Peninsula and Cork in the south. Each lodging entry ends with the names of the owners, season of operation and number of rooms. This review refers to an earlier edition of Bed and Breakfast Ireland as is the extract above. The latest edition of Dillard and Causin's Bed and Breakfast Ireland contains even more entries.
