Much love for this place... Much love indeed! This was the perfect place to stay for my active weekend away; was near the coast in Connemara, close to amazing hiking trails like Diamind Hill, Maamturks, 12 Bens plus the scenery makes for amazing cycles and beautiful drives.
This place was recommended by a friend who stayed recently and it did not disappoint, it pitches itself as luxury budget accommodation and it was just that, cheap at just €50 for double room en-suite per night and had all the comforts and cleanliness I look for in a hotel but with our active itinerary we wanted to be close to the action yet not in a hostel!
Owner Mike and the staff really make this place special, warmly welcome and throughout our stay, were lovely and genuine. They offered great advice on local hiking trails plus some tips on cycling routes which I'm so glad they did, Alan's recommendation on a route for cycling of the Connemara Loop ended in such a scenic trail with lakes and mountain back drops.
There is an on site restaurant and bar too which is;
1. Great Value
2. Amazingly Tasty and Portioned well
3. Cosy place to unwind after activities
Will be coming back here for sure and already gave this place a mention to a colleague wanting to see the best of Connemara this summer.
Keep up the great work folks, see ye again soon :-) read more
