Ross Lake House Hotel

Ross Lake House Hotel in Galway is a splendid 19th Century Georgian House. Built in 1850, this charming Galway hotel is formerly an estate house of the landed gentry, who prized it for its serenity. Set amidst rambling woods and rolling lawns, it is truly a haven of peace and tranquillity.

An old fashion type hotel with lovely food and great hosts.

My wife and I stayed in this lovely old worldly hotel, set in beautiful grounds. Lovely breakfast, and nice evening meal, we did not mind breakfast 9/10am and evening meal 8/9pm. Henry and Elaine were lovely hosts, plenty of chat and craic, I am only so sorry that they have decided to retire, as we would have loved to revisit them. Our room was very clean and excellent bathroom. Best wishes Henry and Elaine, happy retirement. Graham and Esdale

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.

Great Stay!

Reviewed By Acampbell10

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.

Beautiful place, rude people

Reviewed By cormacl308

Very rude, wouldn't recommend staying there. Went to the nearby castle and decided to drive by the lake, pulled in by the road away from the guest house and the viewing point at the lake and just as I got out of the car I the woman came from inside and told me to go as its private land, at no point was I on private land as it's a public road. Not very welcoming at all really

We stayed at tullaleaghen guest house for one night and we were well received by silvia. The room had everything we needed . The room was suitable for a family but for four adults it is better to take two double rooms We enjoyed the breakfast that Silvia has prepared very well. the place is very quiet and the view of the lake is exciting
