Our Latest Great Place to Stay & Eat

Le tout Irlande was mesmerised in 1969 when the late General and Mme de Gaulle came on a two week visit to Ireland. The paparazzi of the day ducked in and out trying to get black and white pictures of this legendary tall tall man relaxing in Connemara. It was a wonderful tourism coup at the the time for Ireland and it was even more wonderful for the then newly opened Cashel House Hotel. Cashel House Hotel was no random choice by the planners of de Gaulle’s trip, it was chosen not only for its stunning location overlooking Cashel Bay, but for its superb elegance, comfort, service and style,……and good food.
Kay McEvilly, and her late husband Dermot, have been leading figures in the hospitality world for over forty years and have hosted many well known names from home and abroad throughout those years. Cashel House on its 50 acres of gardens and woodland walks is as wonderful now as it was back then and it has a pretty well unmatcheable reputation for ensuring guests are cossetted but free to relax and chill out. I first visited Cashel House Hotel shortly after I was married and was immediately struck by the serene feel to the house and gardens. It exudes true Irish hospitality at its very best in a glorious mid 19th century country house furnished and draped with elegant antiques but not so imposing that you won’t feel you can’t snuggle down in the squish sofas by a log fire with a drink after your day’s activities or to read the newspapers.
