The Ardagh is lovely, cosy hotel with a great atmosphere. It has a nice bar and lounge where you can relax and have a drink while you chat or read. The choice of drinks is excellent and they also have non-alcoholic drinks. There’s generally some chill jazz (not the terrible elevator kind) playing to get you into that relaxed state of mind. Breakfast was included and we availed of it both mornings. It’s a straightforward selection of a menu or you can get food from their buffet. You should have dinner there at least one night. The chefs provide an excellent menu of delicious food that is generally sourced from the local area. The plant room is excellent for soaking in that nature vibe…

Guest reviews
Ardagh Hotel & Restaurant averages 4.7 out of 5 across 430 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
We love going to the Ardagh for special dinner evenings ever since we moved to Connemara about 8 years ago. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the staff, the cocktails :) and the views all speak for themselves but are simply exceptional. This year we splurged and treated ourselves to an all nighter to relax in the bar after dinner and took into the tasty breakfast the next day which was brilliant. They might only be open over the summer months but the that almost adds to the charm and appreciation of the place when it is open I find. I hope they have many more summers ahead for them.
We stayed at the holiday house for two nights, and had a lovely experience. The home was well appointed with several comfortable bedrooms, laundry, and bright kitchen. There was sumptuous milk and cake awaiting us despite our late arrival. Outdoor spaces were pleasant for reading taking in the views , and enjoying the sunrise. A great space to enjoy time with a small group. Close enough to town for shopping and sightseeing.
