Reviewed By Cynthia S

Delightful family run B&B. You felt like staying in someone's home, very comfortable, with the little things like LOTS of places to recharge all our phones etc. As good a breakfast as I have had. Quiet!! The lodge is an easy 10 minute walk from town and restaurants etc. Our bus driver from Galway dropped us off at the lodge. It is up hill if coming from town with luggage, so check with owners if you need a pickup in town. LOVED this place.

B&B no breakfast !!

Reviewed By Barry K

Yeah what can I say a B&B with no breakfast which certainty leaves paying a premium price for a room ! Fantastic location just on the outskirts of the town within very easy walking distance to town centre. Room was specious and clean. Plenty of parking facilities.

Loved our stay! After our extremely long travel day we were welcomed into the B&B with smiles. Room was great for 4 people and bathroom shower had amazing water pressure. Quiet/relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious both days. Patricia was extremely friendly and suggested places to visit in the area, which all ended up being highlights of our trip. Highly recommend staying at this facility.

Connemara Lake Hotel

Charming hotel in the square in the town center; walk to pubs and restaurants. Oughterard is famous for fishing for salmon and brown trout, walking the mountain tracks by the lake or the Western Way route, drive the Wild Atlantic Way.

Overpriced

Reviewed By ajah1

While the staff were welcoming and the room was nice and spacious, we felt 190 euros was expensive for the facilities offered. The restaurant seemed very quiet and without atmosphere. It is well located in the middle of the town but has no nice views.
