    There was nothing we did not like.

    The hotel was on the shores of Lough Inagh but very central to the sights of Connemara. All were within a short driving distance. The room was out of this world with an amazing view of the lake. All the staff were exceptionally helpful and the meals were excellent.

    We loved everything. I can't understand why anyone could find fault with this hotel.

    Peace and quiet, genuinely friendly and helpful staff, superb food and restaurant staff, Dominick and Andrea, went out of their way to be helpful, fabulous bedroom with lots of space and beautiful views. Extremely relaxing hotel. Warm and homely feel. Very spacious bathroom with separate changing area. Everything was spotlessly clean. All bed clothes , towels and linen of a really high standard and such a luxurious feeling. Maire, the owner is a very nice lady always ensuring that every detail is provided for. We most definitely will return as soon as we can. We love it that this beautiful tranquil lodge is dog friendly.

    The staff was very friendly, creating a lovely vibe. Dogs were allowed, and I loved seeing others with their dogs. The location is fab! I will be returning and can't wait to stay again. Dinner was excellent; the food and service were 5 stars! Breakfast was lovely; great choices.

    There was really nothing we didn't like. The bath water was slow flowing but no problem

    In all honesty when we first arrived we thought the hotel was a bit run down. How wrong we were. There was work being done and when finished it'll be stunning. Inside was homely, so if you want modern, this isn't the hotel for you. We (my daughter and I), loved the homely feeling and decor. The staff were first class and couldn't do enough for us. The food was exceptional! We had an evening meal and breakfast the next morning and couldn't fault it at all. The room was spacious and overlooked Lough Inagh. Stunning! The beds were very comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to go back. AND they are dog friendly too, even though I didn't have my four legged friend with us.

    WOW! Exceeded expectations! Location- right in the valley. Everywhere you look the view is breathtaking! Rooms are comfortable. Bed super comfortable and warm quilt. Massive room and clean. We got a lovely cuppa delivered to the room. Breakfast was lovely and we could have it in the room with the view. I wish we stayed for a few nights. Will definitely be back. There is no mobile reception and wifi is quite slow and doesn’t work well - I guess that is a plus in this beautiful place.

    The bathroom is very spacious and lovely but it could do with a nice fitting rug. When one visits the bathroom during the night you would not necessarily put on shoes and the tiles are cold. There was a little bit of mould in the shower at the bottom.

    The kindness of all staff, the room, the meals and the little pub in House, the interior design and furniture, the lovely fireplace downstairs, the comfortable bed and couch area, all was wonderful and exactly what we hoped for for a special week end.

    The hosts were wonderful, resolving a booking issue without leaving us with the burden. They were welcoming, accomodating our requests and always with a smile and good sense of humor. The location is wonderful. One of the most beautiful places on earth - and we have seen a lot. The food was excellent, continuing our unexpected excellent culinary experiences along the west coast of Ireland.
