Just down the hill from the ruins of a 15th century castle, Ballinalacken Castle Country House was built by Lord O'Brien in 1840 as his family home. It occupies a superb site commanding huge vistas that take in the Atlantic, the Aran Islands, the Cliffs of Moher and the Connemara hills.

 

Daniel O'Callaghan purchased it from the O'Briens in 1939 and the house has been in his family ever since. It is currently owned by Denis O'Callaghan (Daniel's son) and managed by Marian (Daniel's granddaughter). These friendly hosts pride themselves on providing a warm welcome and personal attention to every guest. Their hotel is well known for its excellent food, the creation of chef Frank Sheedy (a son-in-law) who has won several awards for his imaginative cuisine. Meals are served in the elegant, non-smoking dining room overlooking the sea, every evening except Tuesday from 6.45pm to 8.45pm. The accommodation here maintains the same high standards evident throughout the hotel. There are 12 guest bedrooms, including two suites, four queen size doubles, and six standard twin/doubles. All are unusually spacious, most enjoy sea views, and all are provided with private facilities, direct dial telephone and hair dryers.
