Hotels in Connemara, Ireland

Connemara stretches along Ireland's west coast with a mild, wet climate-summers hover around 60°F (15°C) for hiking the Twelve Bens, while winters stay near 45°F (7°C) for exploring Kylemore Abbey's 19th-century Gothic church. It's famous for its rugged bogs and the Killary Fjord, the only fjord in Ireland, where you can try kayaking or fishing year-round. For a real taste of local culture, head to Clifden town for traditional Irish music sessions in pubs, or drive the Sky Road for views of the Atlantic and the Inishbofin Island.
