I had reservations the second I arrived to this place, because despite the lovely advertising, the place was filthy and smelly and clearly unkept. It smelled bad and looked bad and it was freezing cold inside. I almost left then (I wish I did), but the trip was pre-paid (BIG mistake), so I figured I will just ask the owner... more

I stayed in Lisdonagh for two nights in late July with one of my best friends for a weekend getaway and it turned out to be one of the best choices we have ever made. John and Finola came highly recommended by other family members who have stayed there over the past few years and we certainly weren't disappointed. Right... more

We have recently returned from a holiday in Ireland. We stayed at Lisdonagh House again. The ambiance was great,an oasis of calm in a frantic world, and a wonderful location for exploring Galway and Connemara. It was lovely to wake up in the morning in the depths of the Irish countryside and see a beautiful view of Lough Hackett outside... more

Gourmet cuisine was completely absent and had been replaced... more

It was relaxing and perfect for an Ireland trip. We rented out the main house for our whole family. The rooms are large and the home is beautiful. The... more

We had a wonderful stay at Lisdonagh! Our family group of 23 rented out the entire property for a week and enjoyed every minute in the beautiful Irish countryside. The house has been restored with great care and attention to detail. Each room has its own unique charm furnished with antiques as well as modern comforts. The owners Finola and... more

Would not stay at this property again. Very disappointed more

We travel to Europe each year to conduct retreats for professional, executive couples. We rent castles or mansions that are considered 5 star properties. Lisdonagh Manor was truly exceptional in every way. All the committments and pre-retreat arrangements were fulfilled and even better than we excpected. The owners personally worked with us on every aspect to make our stay at... more
