Manor House Hotel Special Report
Peadar & Susan Nevin run the idyllically located Rock Glen Country House Hotel,a country hotel built in 1815, set on 50 acres of meadow land between the shoreline of Ardbear Bay and Connemara’s Twelve Pines mountain range.
The landscapes and Atlantic seascapes are magnificent. All bedrooms have been beautifully decorated and include the full range of modern facilities for convenience and comfort.
The tastefully decorated restaurant provides the perfect setting for a relaxing meal at the end of a busy day and specialising in modern Irish cooking with a French influence, they use as much local produce as possible with an emphasis on seafood with local scallops, oysters and lobster all featuring on their a la carte menu.
Leisure activities include an all weather tennis court, croquet lawn, putting green and snooker room and close by is the championship Connemara 18 hole golf links.
Horse riding, pony trekking and fishing can be arranged locally and there are miles of sandy beaches for safe swimming and boat trips to the Aran Islands and Inishbofin leave every day.
Rock Glen is a perfect base for exploring the delights of Connemara’s National Park, Kylemore Abbey and Clifden’s many art galleries and craft shops.
A warm welcome awaits at Rock Glen. Don’t miss it! Recommended by Karen
