From the bustling charm of Galway City to the rugged, otherworldly Burren, Western Ireland offers a wonderful wealth of experiences. Exuberant Galway, City of Tribes, packs summers with festivals and packs pubs with locals and visitors. Westport is another charismatic town, full of colorful shopfronts, pubs and great restaurants. The near lunar landscape of the Burren delights with its unexpected flora. Dont miss its Stone Age burial monuments, fishing village Ballyvaughan or cheerful Lisdoonvarna.

Eight Bedroom Guest House situated close to the shores of the famous Lough Corrib. 20 minutes to Galway city and 4 miles from the spectacular Ashford Castle. A most professional guiding service provided for anglers looking for that fishing holiday.
Thank you so much for a lovely short stay at Corrib Lodge. Super Breakfast and warm welcome. Thoroughly recommended! Rooms very comfortable with great showers - attention to detail throughout West of Ireland a great place to visit!

Lodge @ The Old Barracks is a Carefully restored Townhouse full of charm & Style with Award Winning Food & Service. Fully refitted in 2018 and opened to the public in July our rooms come in all shapes and sizes each with flat screen Tv, Tea & Coffee Facilities, Complimentary Water and a sample of goods from our on Site Bakery. Just 12 km from Galway City, Athenry is a Town full of rich local Heritage and the ideal base to explore the Wild Atlantic Way and West of Ireland.
A group of us rode the "Ride The Classic" sportive from Monavea (highly recommended also!) and stayed in Lodge at the Old Barracks afterwards. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, Conaire our breakfast server was particularly good. We enjoyed recovery pizza and drinks in the attached Pizzeria, which was also delicious, and the breakfast was plentiful and quick. Couldn't fault a thing really.

A delightful 1830s country house, fishing lodge and hotel in one of the most spectacular settings in Connemara Ireland. It offers charming accommodation, glorious scenery, great food and total tranquillity. Located in a wild and unspoilt valley of extraordinary beauty, the 1000-acre Delphi estate is one of Ireland’s hidden treasures. The historic lodge, famous as a holiday hideaway, is surrounded by the tallest mountains in Connemara and overlooks the lakes and rivers of the Delphi valley famous for their salmon and seatrout fishing. This beautiful lodge has 13 large comfortable bedrooms one of which is a large family suite and three which can be either twin or triple rooms. A large dining room, a snooker room and three old world reception rooms with log fires all combine to ensure that our guests have a warm, relaxing and friendly experience throughout their stay.
Spent three nights with family in one of the cottages as we had dogs. The cottages were lovely and had everything one would need. The grounds were beautiful and perfect for a stroll with the hounds. Food at Delphi Lodge was delicious and staff brilliant and a big shout out to Mary and Geraldine. Lots to do nearby, pretty villages and gorgeous beaches. No complaints from this group. Thank you for a wonderful three nights.

Such a great find for my husband and I- it was exactly what I'd hoped for after reading reviews and looking at their website. We didn't use the tub but I could see its appeal. Bed was supportive, USB-friendly outlets, quiet, beautiful views, and breakfasts were amazing. Helena was our server and the one who checked us out- she was a real gem and made us feel right at home.

Mary and Jarleth were very friendly hosts & full of great advice for local restaurants & attractions. They made us feel very welcome. Mary cooked us a superb breakfast. Our room was large, quiet & beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was huge with a great shower with plenty of hot water! We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast chat before leaving. Thank you for a wonderful stay & would definitely recommend travelers to stay. Not a major issue if you want peace & quiet & easy access to Connemara but slightly out of walking distance to town. You can catch a bus or taxi for a small reasonable fair.

Stayed in the purple room and was welcomed with coffees and teas in the room. It was spacious and comfortable, with a TV and a gorgeous view of sheep and meadows out the windows. We all slept super well, and the price was very reasonable. The hosts were lovely, and cooked the best breakfast we had throughout our weeklong stay in Ireland. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay for longer!

My wife and I had a lovely three night stay at Winacre lodge. Firstly the property is really welcoming and has nice views across parts of Galway. The owners were both extremely nice people and were perfect hosts. Our room was spot on, very comfortable, nice en suite and very clean and tidy. Breakfast in the conservatory was also bang on, nice food and lovely coffee. The property is a nice 40 minute walk into the centre of Galway, for us this was ideal. Would 100% stay again and we would highly recommend! We enjoyed Morans Oyster Cottage, Connemera National Park & Dog's Bay Beach

Toby is such a friendly host, and an excellent cook! The scrambled eggs I had here were probably the finest I've had in all of Ireland (after 2 weeks traveling so far). You could taste the butter he used, and they were creamy and flavorful from chives/herbs he added. The French press coffee was also delicious. We were in room #2, overlooking the front street (that was quiet). We loved the little sitting area in a sunny alcove with windows all around - so much so, we never needed the fantastic common area with its cute eclectic furnishings. Location is excellent, with it being off the main pub and restaurant area, but in close walking distance. What a charming place!

We had a lovely time at Drumhouse. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in a long time, I loved the attention to detail. The hosts John & Donogh were very nice. Beds were comfortable. Great location if you want to visit knock shrine. We will definitely be going back at some stage.

Our lodge, on the stunning and magical island of Inis Mór is a place for rest, adventure, pilgrimage, beauty and immersive and culturally rich Irish experiences! We open our doors and arms to guests from all over the world for the summer season with the main intention of offering beautiful, comfortable and affordable accommodation with detailed information/ideas on what to see and step by step guidance on where to go provided by our warm and friendly team! We are blessed to be situated in such a prominent and stunning spot on the island, nestled amongst so many historic and monastic treasures, on top of being immediately struck with sensational views from our front door! Our lodge is in prime position to embark on stunning walks to all such sites at your convenience. A real walkers paradise! It really is a pleasure to accommodate and connect with so many of you wandering travelers and we look forward to every new arrival! Safe travels and see you soon!
Extremely disappointed in this over priced acommodation. It was located a good distance from Kilronan with a €25 return fare for 2 to get back to Kilronan. There was no warm breakfast, which was shocking considering the price. The lodge itself was full and it felt like we were staying in the neighbours house next door. Asked the owners for a lift, and they said no, whereas we met some other locals during our stay who generously offered us lifts. The water to shower was ice cold. Appalling service and shockingly overpriced.
