"Abbeyglen Castle was perhaps our favorite stay during our trip through Ireland. The room was spacious and elegant, the restaurant was great and our host (the hotel owner, very hands-on) made the stay very special and indeed joyful. He had a flair for conversation, humor and makes one feel like a long-lost friend. Don't miss his 600pm Prosecco hour - it was a great way to end a day. Truly a "must stay" recommendation!"

"If I could give more than 5 stars i would! The communication was fantastic I would get a response within a couple of hours. Then when we arrived at the house it was more than we could have asked for, the view was so gorgeous we couldn't even speak. John of course stopped by and made sure we were all settled in and there was anything else he could do to make our stay better. John evern got a fishing trip ready for us and even though we didn't catch anything it was amazing. We were sad to leave but we definitely will be back!"

"The Delphi Lodge lived up to every expectation on our trip through the west coast of Ireland. A historic 19th century fishing lodge, Delphi is impeccably maintained, in a stunning location, and staffed by very helpful employees. Make certain to join the evening communal dinner - it's a wonderful opportunity to meet the other guests! All and all, Delphi was one of the highlights of our vacation!!"
