Glenlo Abbey

Jump to:

The magnificent Glenlo Abbey, located just outside Galway, offers guests a luxurious stay in peaceful surroundings. Originally built in the 18th century, the estate has since been impeccably restored with many historic characteristics remaining. Service is superb, from arriving in the grand stone entrance hall with open fireplace, through to eating in one of the hotel鈥檚 many dining options. In addition to the characterful below-stairs cellar bar, the main restaurant is in the original dining room, whose tall windows offer excellent views toward Lough Corrib.

In the grounds, two carriages from an original Orient Express train now serve as the fine dining Pullman Restaurant. Rooms are spacious and elegant, using understated gold and cream tones and simple yet luxurious furnishings.

OUR OPINION:

We love this castle-style property, particularly the fantastic service received throughout. This is a great option for those wanting to be close to Galway but based in somewhere more exclusive.

OUR RATING: Deluxe
