## About the hotel
Ballynahinch Castle was built in 1754 by the Martin family in Connemara, later home to Richard Martin, known as Humanity Dick for his work on animal welfare. The Irish Tourism Board bought the estate in 1949 and opened it to the public, and it now sits across seven hundred acres of woodland, lakes and rivers. It earns its place through that setting and a working country-house atmosphere rather than a restored formality.
