Hawthorn Lodge

Hawthorn Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Clean and quiet lodge great for anyone looking for a peaceful stay. A 10 minute walk into the town and a 20 minute bus ride to Connemara National Park which was absolutely stunning. The breakfast was quite good as well for a buffet style arrangement, able to have a full Irish if you so please as well as fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, and oatmeal. The staff were very accommodating as there were huge delays with the rails and a missed train the day we arrived and we didn't get in until after 8 pm with no problems."

10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous property in beautiful location for visiting Connemara and beyond.Well appointed, clean house with everything available for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Lovely stylish decor and lots of space to sit; to the front you can watch the sun set over the waters and at the back there are mountain and lake views.A short stroll to the most perfect beach - lovely sands, rock pools for the children to explore and rocks to clamber on plus the crystal clear waters if you fancy a dip! At low tide you can explore an island across from the beach.Handy for nearby Roundstone and Clifden plus the Alcock & Brown landing site, the underrated Pine Island Viewpoint, Kylemore Abbey and Galway City! An absolutely hidden gem and tranquil retreat. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful holiday. We even got to see the solar eclipse during our stay!"
