"Wonderful place to stay "

"We had a fantastic stay over New Year with extended family. The house truly felt like a home from home. After a long drive, we were given a very warm welcome by Mairead, which immediately set the tone for the week.The house is extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean, and boasts the most spectacular views. We managed to fit in several outings, including a number of beautiful beaches, Dogs Bay and Gurteen in Roundstone, and Moyrus Beach, which is just a short drive from the house. Great wee coffee shop in Roundstone too. We also visited Clifden Castle, and the kids loved spending their Christmas money in Clifden town. A walk around Ballynahinch Castle was another highlight, followed by a lovely dinner in Glynsk House, only a few minutes away from the house.John and Mairead are wonderful hosts — thoughtful and attentive without being intrusive. They checked in on us during our stay and even left a crate of turf for the log burners, which was a much-appreciated touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this house for a relaxing and memorable stay."

"Great room and service, excellent staff"

"People were quite friendly. The room was clean, nice and warm. The pool was a great opportunity to get some lap swimming in during my brief stay. It helped me sleep like a baby, despite having traveled 8 time zones and about 12 hrs to get there."

"Room spotless with great view. Staff the absolute best. Perfect visit with artist friends who we’re so inspired by the beauty . Good food but needs a little more attention. We return every year one of our favorite hotels in the most beautiful spot . Thank you !"

"Staff is wonderful. Prosecco story time is always fun!"

"The host John was very friendly and helpful. Parking was easy. And the breakfast was great. "

"We absolutely loved our stay! The owner was wonderful and made everything so easy. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The location couldn’t have been better—close to great restaurants and shops, and just a short walk to the Atlantic with a beautiful view. The courtyard was such a peaceful spot to relax in the mornings. We’d definitely stay here again!"

"We had a great stay! The location is beautiful and the house is very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again."
