Zetland Country House Hotel invites you to enjoy gracious living as it used to be in times gone by.
Accommodation:
All our rooms have television, telephones, shaving points and hairdryers, tea and coffee making facilities available in your room by request.
Deluxe Rooms:
As you gently open the door to your deluxe room, time stands still. Whispers of a bygone era resonate within and you feel like you have finally come home. Soft furnishings invite peaceful slumber, as the worries of the day slip away. As you kick off your shoes relieving tired feet and cross the soft pile carpets, you hold your breath as you take in the view of gardens and sea. As soft evening light spills in your window, you feel yourself come alive once again.
Superior Rooms:
You wake to bird song as the soft rays of morning light sneak through the curtains, the king sized bed having cradled you through the best sleep you've had in ages, time to rise!! you throw open the curtains and unlatch the windows overlooking the garden "as you take a deep breath the aroma of fresh flowers and salt sea air fills the room" time for a shower in the luxurious bathroom, as you cross the room you gently open the adjoining door to wake the children who are still sleeping after their eventful day before on nearby Gurteen Beach...
Standard Rooms:
Standing in your safe and cosy room, as you wait for your bath to fill, poetry remembered as a child flickers through your thoughts, while looking through the window, which frames the lush grounds of our garden, speckled with wild and cultured foliage and flora under the umbrella of majestic trees, how long have you waited for this peace! at last you are here.. in the gracious world of the Zetland Country House Hotel.
Zetland House also has a Self Catering lodge having lovely mature gardens, with beautiful sea views.

Direction:
The Zetland Country House Hotel is located approximately 40 miles north west of Galway City. From the city centre it will take 1-1.5hrs to drive, depending largely on the traffic in Galway City.
From the city centre (Eyre Square), take the N59 in the direction of Clifden via Oughterard, Maam Cross and Recess (Sraith Salach on some maps). After passing through Oughterard (a nice town to stop for a break with a lovely park transected by a running stream), and Maam Cross (recognizable by Peacocks hotel - a yellow building with clock tower) you will arrive at Recess, marked by a small road house with a shop ("Joyces") and pub ("Jack Bills"). Continuing a further 2 miles along the N59 after Recess take a left turn onto the R340 where the hotel is sign-posted. A further 3 miles on the R340 there is a right turn where you will see another signpost for Cashel and the hotel. The Zetland Country House Hotel is situated on the right hand side 0.8 of a mile from the turn. Please take the second entrance to the hotel which will lead to the front car-park.
