Gardens

Winning several national awards, the gardens at Cashel House Hotel are a sanctuary of winding woodland walks, a flowering Victorian lawn, and peaceful seafront seating. Rare plants from distant lands enhance their unique charm, while secluded benches invite quiet moments of reflection. These gardens have been a cherished retreat for over a century.

History

Built in the 19th century, this gracious country home has passed through four owners, each leaving their mark on its history and charm. In 1968, Cashel House was transformed into a family-run four-star hotel by the McEvilly family, welcoming guests into its rich heritage and timeless elegance.
