Ross Lake House Hotel, formerly Killaguille estate and one of Connemara's most gracious mid 19th century houses, was built by James Edward Jackson, land agent for Lord Iveagh at Ashford Castle. Killaguille house and its estate comprised of 1,200 acres of land. Subsequently, the land was divided and the house converted into a hotel in 1969 and renamed Ross Lake House because of its close proximity to Ross Lake and the internationally renowned fishing waters of Lough Corrib. The house is surrounded by mature gardens with magnificent trees and has its own tennis court.

Comfort and good taste are reflected in the hotel's spacious rooms, which have been individually decorated with a blend of past and present, all designed to make your stay more enjoyable. The elegant bedrooms reflect the Georgian period and also provide modern comforts. All rooms are en suite.
