So, this is not my sort of place, but you have to grant the owners their due. This is a medium sized country house with an ugly flat roofed annex by Lough Corrib in Galway. Though it is not on the lake, the grounds are lovely with trees, streams and rhododendrons. The rooms were normal but very, very clean and... More

Hotel is in an idyllic, remote area outside of Oughterard. It is a beautiful manor home with antique furniture. Henry and Elaine give special attention to guests and were the highlight to this place. She is an excellent cook and you need to let her know in advance when you will dine. You order your meal in a quaint bar... More

Looking for something a little different for a special anniversary weekend we booked the Ross Lake House Hotel. We weren't disappointed! As the other reviews here have mentioned the Ross Lake is a special hotel. Ideally situated as a base to tour round the breathtaking Connemara countryside, you're also just 25 minutes from Galway city and all it has to... More

Made a mistake by thinking I was going to be staying in Galway, which it turned out to be a half hour away. Expecting the worst, we found the best, a beautifully furnished, and spacious room. A great location for exploring the Connemara district of Ireland. The meals, breakfast and dinner were superb, definitely gourmet quality. Highly recommended. More

My wife and I spent 3 wonderful days here. The owners and staff are charming, friendly and helpful. The room was tastefully done and very comfortable. The dinner sitting was somewhat formal but fun as is the breakfast sitting More
