We are up early and walking the grounds. Ross Lake Hotel is surrounded by lush Irish woodlands with a rushing river/stream along the drive in. The hosts, Elaine and Henry, met us at the door and made us feel at home. I cannot say enough good things about the hosts/owners. Henry sat us down with a map and helped us map out or travel plans including where to eat. In the evening we sat in the library bar and talked about travels and all things Irish. All plans were spot on. All rooms were clean, fresh and quite comfortable. Food was very good especially the warm goat cheese salad/starter. I would recommend this place to those who want a lovely Irish experience in a beautiful, quiet and tucked away Hotel/ Manor house with great hosts who go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

The hotel is in a secluded area on beautiful grounds. We had the Lord Harding room with 4 poster bed. The room was elegant and comfortable. I could get wifi by by stepping a few feet out of the bedroom, and in the lounge. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and I was delighted to find pavlova on the dessert menu. It was delicious. The dining is quite formal for dinner, but relaxed for breakfast. A very pleasant stay.

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.

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
