Fantastic place

Easy to find with friendly staff, the room was very clean with an amazing view and is only a short journey to the mountains. Made it back for dinner and the food is delicious with plenty of choice. Will be back to explore the area as I only stayed for one night. Thank you for a great visit

Nice family-like hotel and bar/restaurant with full scale of accommodation from camping to individual family room in the middle of nature. New construction, but shower basin cleanliness/conctruction could be more up-to-date

Off the beaten path. A fine stay

The drive to this hotel was precarious, at best, but once we arrived everything fell into place. Off the beaten path. Wanted to experience different places to stay in Ireland and this was unique.Family room was a little tight for four adults but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. Totally quiet, except for the donkey braying all night, but we enjoyed listening to her. Enjoyed a delicious meal in the pub. Friendly servers. Breakfast provided was continental, yet filling. You could have ordered a hot breakfast. We didn’t. The only downside was no wifi in the guest rooms but we had media downloaded in advance and brought books. Little else to entertain you there but the solitude was a nice change of pace.

We arrived late but the bartender was very kind about checking us in and making sure we had some food. I really appreciate that he went above and beyond.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Sauberkeit war eher so naja. Das Zimmer und Bad waren dreckig und rochen seltsam. Die Fassade der Unterkunft erinnert an eine Absteige oder heruntergekommene Bar. Frühstück war für den Preis eine Frechheit. Es gab Toast, Obstsalat und Butter. Dazu noch eine Sorte aufgeschnittenen Käse und ungenießbarer Schinken. Wer mehr möchte muss 10€ p.P. zuzahlen und bekommt ein schlecht schmeckendes englisches Frühstück. Diese Eindrücke wurden von allen anderen Gästen bestätigt. Für 200 Euro pro Nacht definitiv nicht wert.

estancia muy agradable con todo lo necesario para pasar una noche en ruta. La chica que nos atendió y nos enseño la habitacion hablaba algo de español y fue muy agradable con nosotros. El alojamiento dispone de taberna donde tomar algo en un entorno realmente acogedor, muy irlandes. El desayuno bien. Muy recomendable aunque algo retirado. Repetiríamos sin duda.

Difficult to reach location as it’s in a beautiful area of Glencar, a tiny village up the mountains. Staff were exceptionally warm and friendly and went above and beyond.
