On the way in to this hotel there's a sign that says something along the lines of 'you are now…read moreentering a stress free' zone. So true. This is one of the most chill places I've ever had the privilege of staying. The rooms are small but incredibly comfortable despite the dodgy plumbing. We booked in for three nights on a bed, breakfast and dinner package with 3 other couples on the bank holiday weekend in June. We had a blast. The food is magnificent. The breakfast alone sets the tome for the day and dinner is a delight. Nothing fancy. Just good wholesome food, beautifully presented and with well drilled and attentive staff. Relax at any time during the day in several day rooms with coffee or booze more or less on tap. Live music at night in the bar after dinner leading to a sing song ranging from Irish ballads to ABBA ensure a relaxing, no hassle weekend. During the day, there is so much to see and do in the beautiful Connemara countryside within easy striking distance of the hotel. Must see tourist destinations such as Kylemore Abbey and chic food trucks such as The Misunderstood Heron in nearby Letterfrack have to be experienced. Experience also the grounds in the immediate vicinity for a bracing walk in the afternoon or even a dip in the sea right next to the hotel. For the less adventurous, the hotel,has a heated outdoor swimming pool as well. Given that it was an all-in package it was incredibly good value in my opinion. Highly recommended. Will definitely return. It's a minimum 4.5 hour drive from Dublin so need at least 3 nights to get the full chillax experience.

The stately castle hotel, part of the Relais and Chateau association, is a welcoming beacon in the Connemara. Adjacent to a trout/salmon stream just a mile from the ocean and featuring extensive woodland walking trails, one can't help but feel at peace. In fact there's an overwhelming feeling of coziness and calm in the spacious suites with a view to the woods and water. Our suite, #36 was so quiet and beautiful it was a treat returning to it after exploring the wild Atlantic way. The two easy chairs with views quickly became our his/hers perches for reflection. Our superior king suite itself was very large with a four poster bed and ample room to spread out and settle in while the generous bathroom with its tub, shower, two sinks and make up desk added to our comfort. With its two restaurants the fisherman's pub (casual) and fine dining Owenmore restaurant one never need seek sustenance elsewhere. The beautiful breakfast that was included provided masterfully cooked to order entrees along with a sumptuous buffet each morning to get you started on your day of exploration. We also enjoyed the beautiful walled garden which is not to be missed and some of the well Maintained walking trails through ancient forest. Exceptional property and lovely (but too short) stay. Highly recommended

The room was nice, except that it was so hot and without air conditioning, it was a bit tough sleeping that night. Since it is such an old building, not everything is perfect. Our bathroom door wouldn't close. There was a nice Preseco party and a discussion of the history of the building, which was fun and interesting. They took pictures of everyone and had them sitting at your table in the dining room. After that, we went to dinner where our party was seated at a large round table which was nice so that we could see and talk to everyone. The menu was interesting and I had been craving chicken and was happy to find it there. They brought all 11 meals at once and presented them. Nice touch! Chicken was tasty. Afterwards, we had drinks at the bar and played some snooker (we kind of made up our own rules). The bartenders were very friendly. We had breakfast thr next morning which was nice.

We reveled in being absolutely spoiled in this sleeper locale where De Galle once stayed in the late 60s. While the accommodations weren't what one might consider top of the line, they were well-furnished, clean and spacious. Every room but for those occupied was open, providing a true run-of-the-house feel. The food and service exceeded five stars...simply delicious. What fun with potatoes, and extensive vegetarian offerings without so much as a blink. Between the gardens, grounds, and an old nearby cemetery where we sat smoking Cuban cigars and overlooking a bluff, we knew we'd found a slice of heaven. The thought of staying there permanently crossed our minds more than once.

This place was recommended by a friend who stayed recently and it did not disappoint, it pitches itself as luxury budget accommodation and it was just that, cheap at just €50 for double room en-suite per night and had all the comforts and cleanliness I look for in a hotel but with our active itinerary we wanted to be close to the action yet not in a hostel! Owner Mike and the staff really make this place special, warmly welcome and throughout our stay, were lovely and genuine. They offered great advice on local hiking trails plus some tips on cycling routes which I'm so glad they did, Alan's recommendation on a route for cycling of the Connemara Loop ended in such a scenic trail with lakes and mountain back drops. There is an on site restaurant and bar too which is; 1. Great Value 2. Amazingly Tasty and Portioned well 3.

As we have been away from home for a few weeks I was all too glad to give him a few scratches and pet his silky ears. We had a B and B package that included a 5 course meal one night and breakfast both days. The food was excellent and very filling. For dinner there were meat, fish and vegetarian offerings, and the fried potatoes served family style were divine. I had the duck entree and it was so moist and tender that it nearly fell off of the bone. Breakfast has yogurt, cereal and baked items as a buffet, and a full offering of eggs and other cooked to order items as well. Very satisfying. If you go, be sure to take the short walking paths to the water. Tyson will accompany you and be thrilled if you throw his stick into the water for a game of fetch. Another path will take to see the resident pigs who literally squeal with delight if you feed them leafy greens you find on the path.
