I stayed here with my wife and 4 kids for three nights. I strongly recommend this hotel if you would like to explore west Ireland. The staff are really nice and friendly. We were lucky to have a family connected room that accommodated all of us so easily. The food is outstanding. We had breakfast and dinner everyday and we tried different dishes everyday. We loved them all. The kids love the burgers, the chicken and pasta. My wife and I loved the burger and the sirloin steak. The breakfast is very fresh and well cooked. We tried the Irish breakfast and all the types of eggs. They are all fantastic. We will definitely come back again.

We booked for a 3 night stay as a package with an evening meal. Upon arrival we were greeted so warmly by the staff. The hotel is under new management with Karl and Mary.They have made some great improvements and have great plans for the remainder of the hotel. The food with Karl in the kitchen is absolutly absolutly beautiful and a great selection to suit everyone. The staff were so helpfull and made us feel at home and safe even in these difficult times. We enjoyed our 3 days so much we stayed an extra night. The hotel is perfectly positioned to explore the entire connemara area. We will definitely be back.
The owners and staff are lovely, respectful and friendly service. Great Irish breakfast. I gotta say fish and chips very delicious! The room was comfortable, spotless, good sleep well and good warm shower. Nice relaxing in the bar and restaurant. Excellent hotel service. Definitely go back again.
