"It was a pleasant stay"

"We had a fantastic stay over New Year with extended family. The house truly felt like a home from home. After a long drive, we were given a very warm welcome by Mairead, which immediately set the tone for the week.The house is extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean, and boasts the most spectacular views. We managed to fit in several outings, including a number of beautiful beaches, Dogs Bay and Gurteen in Roundstone, and Moyrus Beach, which is just a short drive from the house. Great wee coffee shop in Roundstone too. We also visited Clifden Castle, and the kids loved spending their Christmas money in Clifden town. A walk around Ballynahinch Castle was another highlight, followed by a lovely dinner in Glynsk House, only a few minutes away from the house.John and Mairead are wonderful hosts — thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive. They checked in on us during our stay and even left a crate of turf for the log burners, which was a much-appreciated touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this house for a relaxing and memorable stay."

"Room spotless with great view. Staff the absolute best. Perfect visit with artist friends who we’re so inspired by the beauty . Good food but needs a little more attention. We return every year one of our favorite hotels in the most beautiful spot . Thank you !"

"We absolutely loved our stay! The owner was wonderful and made everything so easy. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The location couldn’t have been better—close to great restaurants and shops, and just a short walk to the Atlantic with a beautiful view. The courtyard was such a peaceful spot to relax in the mornings. We’d definitely stay here again!"

"We had a great stay! The location is beautiful and the house is very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again."

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was one of the best I have had at a hotel. Great variety and freshly made. The evening meal was of a very high standard and a good choice menue. "

"Beautiful place to stay, fabulous food. Spa facilities were idyllic, including an atmospheric “wild swim” in the sea loch."

"Beautiful apartment with everything you could possible need. Modern and clean comfortable with gracious hostess. Would highly recommend and we will always remember our stay. "

"Perfect location to explore Connemara and a lovely property, beautifully renovated for a most comfortable stay. Lovely hosts with great suggestions and a playful dog to make us feel at home. We particularly loved fly fishing at Ballynahinch Castle (Hugh as our guide), exploring the Killary fjord area (scenic cruise was nice) and Kylemore Abbey, the ferry to Aran islands. The seafood at O’Grady’s was delicious yet also try the beef and lamb in this region…outstanding!! We got groceries at the Costcutters to cook our own amazing steak burgers. We came here after Dingle; loved both but particularly the rugged beauty of the Connemara. "
