Independent hotels in Claddaghduff, County Galway

"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."

"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. "

"Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was one of the best I have had at a hotel. Great variety and freshly made. The evening meal was of a very high standard and a good choice menue. "

"Stunning surroundings, staff was friendly and helpful. Lots to do with the children. Will definitely come back "

"It truly was a gem for us. The home was bright, airy, and spotless. The kitchen was so well-organized that we never had to wonder where anything was. We spent most of our indoor time in the kitchen and dining area — the large table was perfect for meals, games, and activities.Mary was exceptionally responsive and quickly sorted out the minor issues we faced upon arrival (we came during Storm Amy, so there were a few temporary electricity and water disruptions). The beds and linens were clean and comfortable, ensuring a good night’s rest.The location is beautifully secluded, with dark skies at night — perfect for stargazing. The surroundings were truly picturesque; we only wished the weather had allowed us to enjoy dinner outdoors facing the lake.We’d definitely love to return if we visit the country again."

"We arrived at Renvyle House Hotel and were met by three receptionists who were super friendly and helpful. They arranged for someone to carry our cases to our rooms. Our rooms were very comfortable and had lovely views of the sea. Dinner and breakfast were brilliant with fresh fruit and breads made on the premises. The staff in the restaurants were very attentive. This hotel has lovely walks around it and has an outdoor pool and a hot tub which was so relaxing looking out towards the Atlantic. I am looking forward to returning soon. "
