Gregans Castle Hotel is nestled in the heart of the beautiful Burren, and has been a family run hotel since 1976. Our stunning 18th century manor house is set in its own established and lovingly-attended gardens, boasting spectacular views that stretch across the Burren to Galway Bay. Gregans Castle has long been a source of inspiration for its visitors. Guests have included J.R.R Tolkien, who’s said to have been influenced by the Burren when writing The Lord of the Rings, as well as other revered artists and writers such as Seamus Heaney and Sean Scully.

Best experience so far in Ireland. High quality diner and marvellous place, highly recommended. Martyn’s suite is just lovely as the rest of the hotel.
