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.

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.

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.

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.

There is lots to see and do on the island. Lots of history and prehistoric monuments. If you are into live music, there's no shortage of that.
The Islanders we met were kind and welcoming. We have dietary restrictions, but we're still able to find decent food to eat. There are some spectacular views, and Poll na bPéist in particular is definitely worth a visit.
