Loved everything about this property and location.
Loved everything about this property and location. We had a beautiful room with a balcony on the third floor facing the river. Perfect for taking scenic photos! Since there are few options for restaurants in Leenaun and we didn't feel like driving anymore, we made a reservation at the restaurant for dinner. The food was amazing! We also enjoyed the traditional music in the pub and the fireplace in the sitting room. Our reservation included a full Irish breakfast, which was also delicious.

Stunning location to stay and as a base to explore the area.
Stunning location to stay and as a base to explore the area. We loved driving around, visiting the towns and villages and beaches and also loved the Killary boat tour which has excellent commentary. We had lunches out in Louisberg and westport and Galway, all lovely places to explore and went for a swim at Silver Strand beach in the clearest water.

Leenaun is situated on a fjord with the most breathtaking views of the mountains. It's a small village, with pubs, restaurants and shops. Very popular with travellers so can get quite busy. The surrounding area is beautiful with a lot to see and do.

Lovely trip. I had never been to this area before. The views are absolutely amazing. Never knew there was so much to see here. Staff were very helpful. The hotel employ all nationalities so they were well able to help the tourists. Lots of maps and tips for tourists. They will even make packed lunches for groups heading out the next day.

The hotel is situated beside Killary Fjord, Ireland’s only fjord, in the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way. The accommodation in the hotel was clean and comfortable and we were allowed to keep our dog in the room. In fact we could bring Bella with us everywhere except the restaurant. Staff were courteous and friendly and the substantial meals were promptly served.

The staff, the food, the atmosphere, all top class!!! And then throw in the cosy rooms and fantastic location of the hotel, it all adds up to a brilliant experience. Myself and my wife are coming back here now for many years and will continue to do so into the future. A credit to all involved and I have spread the word on this jem of a place to stay!!!!
We loved the village of Leenaun and this hotel is a two minute walk to the village. If you walk slowly. The homemade yogurt on the breakfast buffet was the best yogurt any of us have ever eaten! The views of Killary Fjord are hard to beat. The owners went out of their way to be helpful.
Excellent hidden treasure in Connemara Ireland. Authentic lodge at the lake. Very pleasant to stay with friendly staff. Great hospitality, very good cuisine. I like to come back.
