Established in 1890 by the Browne Family, the hotel is located on 40 acres just outside Castlebar.
In 1928 – 400 acres including the house, was sold to the Land Commission for division for local farmers.
Part of the land went to the Forestry Department and in 1962 the house and 40 acres of woodland were brought by Una and Michael Lee.
The house was opened as a grade A hotel in 1963. It was partly burned in a fire in 1969 and rebuilt with additions for an expanded hotel.
The Lynch Group bought Breaffy House in 2001 and traded very successfully with the additions of Fitness Club, Spa and Pool
