Cashel House Hotel - A little bit of Heaven at Christmas

 There is a little known fact that Santa's mother originally came from Cashel in Connemara. The green suits of the elves; the holly around the fireplace; fine dining and mulled wine are all ideas brought to Christmas by Mrs. Claus from Cashel. Some have disputed this fact but we know it is true.  Cashel House  Hotel offers all that Santa's mother envisaged.   Experience the wonders of   this family run stylish hotel this Christmas and enjoy the fun, delight, heavenly food and music of this very special festive occasion. 

All inspired by the imagination of Mrs. Claus from Cashel! 

Cashel House Hotel – Be Naughty at New Year

 There is a little known fact, and it may be naughty to say, but Hogmanay really started at Cashel in Connemara. Then the Scots “borrowed” it! So be naughty and indulge, forget the “R” word unless it is Relax; Rejuvenate and Rest. Experience the unique hospitality, fresh food and cosy atmosphere of this genuine Irish Country House Hotel for your New Year celebration.
