Connemara hotels

This castle was spectacular in terms of the property, castle itself, food and service. It was a little tucked away but worth it. It's a nice place to relax but there isn't a whole lot to do there. It was welcoming in the middle of our trip which was very busy.

We loved walking the grounds and location was within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The owner was very attentive at breakfast and gave us a map of interesting sights nearby.

Cozy, friendly, helpful. GREAT LOCATION, SHORT WALK INTO VILLAGE

Excellent location, very helpful and attentive staff. Food was really good and well presented. We had a most enjoyable stay and would recommend the Ardagh Hotel to friends.

From our window we could look out over stone walls to the Atlantic Ocean. The food and the graciousness of the staff were better than 5 star. There is much ruggedly beautiful scenery in the area. The other guests were interesting and friendly.

Very friendly and welcoming. Very helpful with local knowledge and ideas of where to go and sightsee.

Our entire family had a great time at Renvyle House. It was the perfect mix for us of relaxing but with lots of activities on property and within a short drive. The word "homey" is over-used but is a perfect way to describe the place. The staff took care of everything we needed -- from meals to drinks to scheduling activities. And we had a great time talking with the other guests, most of whom are Irish families from across the island (and many of whom come back every year). My wife and I particularly enjoyed hanging out in the common areas in the evenings -- it's like being at home but with someone else pouring the drinks and doing the dishes .... A few things to be aware of: the plumbing works about as well as you'd expect for a 100 year old building (limited hot water and limited pressure). I don't think I saw a TV anywhere (might have missed it though since we didn't look for one). And it rains a lot on the west coast of Ireland (not that this really mattered -- we had such a long list of things we wanted to do that we just picked the ones for each day that matched that day's weather).
