Description:
The Abbeyglen Castle is small, exclusive 4**** hotel providing accommodation, cuisine and service, located on the Sky Road overlooking the sea and the Alpine-like village of Clifden, with a backdrop of the Twelve Bens. Relax with a 'Connemara Special' in our Resident's lounge or join in our spontaneous musical evenings and sample the unrivalled atmosphere of Steinway sounds. The Abbeyglen Castle was built in 1832 by John d'Arcy of Clifden Castle, 33 years before Mitchell Henry built Kylemore Abbey in 1865. D'Arcy, who founded Clifden in 1812, was considered a leader of the community and was frequently consulted by the local constabulary in time of trouble or unrest. Following d'Arcy's death, his son Mitchen sold the property to the Irish Church Mission Society in 1854. As a result of the Famine the estate hit troubled times and the property fell derelict. In 1969, the Joyce family, then owners, sold the property to the Hughes family, who through the years have improved the castle and gardens to their present state.
