Book your stay
Welcome
Welcome to The Residence Ashford — an architectural sanctuary bordered by a private five-star estate and a forest on the edge of Cong village.
Here, modern design meets ancient woodland. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames forest canopy and rolling fields. Warm polished concrete beneath your feet. Birds provide the morning soundtrack. By evening, the trees whisper goodnight.
This is not merely a house.
It is a curated architectural experience, designed to harmonize with the rugged beauty of Ireland’s west while delivering seamless contemporary luxury.
We are honoured to host you.
