Rosleague Manor Hotel

Regency Grandeur on Ballinakill Bay 🏰🌿

Secluded within 30 acres of ancient private woodland that sweeps down to the water’s edge, Rosleague Manor Hotel is one of Connemara’s most cherished regency gems. This pink-washed, 19th-century manor house has been meticulously maintained by the Foyle family, offering an atmosphere of quiet, understated luxury.

Located just outside Letterfrack and mere minutes from the gates of Connemara National Park, the Manor is a place of log fires, fine antiques, and panoramic views across the tidal inlet. It is widely regarded as a “soul-recharging” destination, where the gentler pace of a bygone era meets modern-day excellence. Whether you are wandering through the Victorian conservatory or exploring the extensive garden trails, Rosleague provides a refined yet deeply personal base for discovering the wild Atlantic coast.
