We loved everything about our stay in Tigh Fitz. The rooms were spotless and comfortable with everything we could possibly need. The girls who served breakfast and cleaned the rooms were very friendly, helpful and efficient. But the most wonderful thing about our stay was Penny, the proprietor. She is the kindest, warmest, most helpful woman who went above and beyond to make our stay such an enjoyable one. She organised tours and lifts and even picked us up herself from the ferry port and pub. She gave us such good advice on what to do and see in Inis Mor. We were very, very sorry to say goodbye to Penny when we left the island.
Cozy and welcoming, loved this B&B, it's the perfect place to stay on Inis Mór.
Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious, breakfast is rich and delicious, and we had a very warm welcome, we really felt at home.
Close to the dock, very clean and cute. With a sea view in front of you. Quiet and secure. Saw some did BBQ, wish we had prepared for that! Good for a couple for a weekend getaway.
Outside the town is more interesting than inside. But avoid the minibus tours. Our driver, John, spent five frickin' hours driving around trying to find more passengers, during which time he showed us only two of the sights. He also spent some of the time essentially providing a taxi service, and treated his taxi customers with much more consideration than his tour passengers. It was a waste of our money and a much bigger waste of our limited time on the island.

The island is truly amazing.
The island is truly amazing. Great accommodations, great food, great people. I just happened to be there during the Bodhran Festival and it was incredible. I loved how everyone participated sharing their talents. I will definitely return. Get the Crepes by the pier. The St Tola crepe is to die for. Oh and definitely the Man of Aran Fudge. ♥️💚

Great island to visit. Its is busy as expected in summer.
Great island to visit. Its is busy as expected in summer. Hire bikes to get around. Dun Angus is a must visit. Nice beach to visit. It's a good 40 mins cycles to get there and 15 mins walk up to cliff top! Food is expensive as expected on peak summer visit.

To get a feeling for the island you should really stay more than a few hours. We stayed overnight so and got to chill in the local bar, enjoy the restaurants. Was fantastic place to wander around and experience every type of weather and the views are breath taking. There are 3 main bars/restaurants that wont see you go wrong. A pint of Guinness is a must. There are a variety of tea/coffee shops serving home made scones and baked goods. getting around is so easy either through bike hire (10 euro per day) or on one of the horse and cart trips. The island is a little hilly but very easy to walk about. Highlights include the beach, plassy ship wreck, light house and the castle. A trip to the aran islands would not be complete with out a purchase of some aran knitwear.

Excellent property and fantastic hosts.
Excellent property and fantastic hosts. Great communication when I had an email query. Lovely extras like milk and bread in the fridge when we arrived. Absolutely spotless property and very well equipped. The bathrooms were lovely and there was plenty hot water. Lots of space, it's a huge house! Plenty entertaining space. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

We highly highly recommend Aran Bike Hire - they couldn't have been nicer kitting us out with bikes.
Then, when we had a non bike related wrist break, Michael & team came to our rescue - driving the patient to meet the on-call doc; then to our accommodation to wait for the ferry & then directly to the ferry with an ambulance to meet us in Rossaveal. We really appreciated the Aran islanders' care and warmth - we felt treated as family.
It came as no surprise to us to hear from AnnMarie that the islanders sponsor the annual visit of the Little Blue Heroes Foundation charity for ill children and their families.

Beautiful island . Everything within walking distance .
Beautiful island . Everything within walking distance . Lots to see lovely walks by staying overnight the island gets much quieter in the evening to stroll around or alternatively for a more lively atmosphere you can head to one of the local pubs.

The island is absolutely isolated. Only transportation is bicycles. Most tourists arrive on the morning ferry and leave on the evening ferry so when you stay overnight, it is very, very quiet and isolated. We really loved that part of it!

A shorter list such as tidy up after cooking and that emptying bins and removing shoes to protect floors and general things not a long check list for a cleaner to do and insyring a drop of milk is there for guests as the shop may be closed on arrival also if we had of know this we would have got bits before arrival so advising guests to be prepared be great

A great experience of the old Irish way full of culture and the traditional way of life. Joe wattys and the Bar are great for a meal and a drink with lots of options I'm getting around the island with bus/pony tours and electric bikes to offer.
