Renvyle House

If you were put on the spot and asked to define Irish hospitality in just three words, it wouldn’t be such a difficult task, because the answer is: Renvyle House Hotel. AnneMarie Kelly and her team offer us all a hospitality that seems purely instinctual, purely natural, purely generous. It’s these factors that make Renvyle such a relaxing destination: arriving down the road as it leads to the hotel is just like slipping into a hot, bubbly bath, and you can feel your shoulders relaxing, and your breath slowing, and your heart glowing. Thereafter, every visit is simply joyful, with superlative cooking from Tim O’Sullivan and his crack team, cooking that defines precisely what an original, natural Connemara cuisine is all about. Renvyle is sui generis: a place apart, in a class by itself. There is no other destination like Renvyle House Hotel.
