Abbeyglen Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"What a wonderful hotel and stay! The atmosphere was cozy and fantastic. The staff was very welcoming, courteous, and hospitable. And, the location - being an actual castle in a beautiful setting - was superb. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners/managers of the hotel. He kept looking after us and made us feel like long time friends. If you are planning a trip to Ireland, we recommend the breathtaking area of Conamara and a stay that unique and beautiful Abbeyglen Castle Hotel."

"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!!"

The Boat Inn

The Boat Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed at the property for two nights. The bed was about right for a single person in the room was quite small but impeccably clean as I understand. It’s very new. I tried to book again for the weekend, but the price was extremely high and I decided to go elsewhere. I found it fascinating that it was a digital check-in, but it was fast and efficient. Please note if you’re carrying luggage, you have to carry that upstairs if you’re older and your luggage is heavy that might be a consideration for you. Please note you also park on the street which was a little difficult during dinner time. I temporarily parked behind the Tesco. Overall, I would stay again during the week as the price was reasonable for the area."
