Renvyle house is a historic country house hotel, situated in the wild splendour of Connemara on the shores of the Wild Atlantic Way.
The hotel is located on 150 acres which include a private lake, 1km of beach, woodlands, orchards, gardens and kitchen gardens.
Over several centuries, Renvyle House has been built, pulled down, rebuilt, burned to ashes and rebuilt once again. A Chieftain of one of the oldest and most powerful Gaelic clans in Connacht once lived here. It was also the home of poet, statesman and surgeon Oliver St. John Gogarty (Buck Mulligan Of James Joyce's "Ulysses") and, since becoming a country house hotel in 1883, Renvyle House has played host to many famous people - Augustus John, Lady Gregory, Yeats and Churchill among them.
