"We ended up staying in Hotel Newport at very short notice. Staff were lovely and although rooms were dated, they were clean. Did not spot the kettle the first night so was disappointed by that as I thought there was none. However, the cupboard that contained the tea/coffee etc was pointed out to me the next day - would have preferred it's location to be more obvious. Cooked breakfast choice was excellent and the food served was good quality. Unexpectedly got to join the town's Nephin Beggers...

The Hawthorn is a destination hotel, gorgeous decor, fantastic staff, super location, drop your bags, breathe and relax. Plenty to do on the grounds with a gorgeous golf course and fantastic walks, or indulge in the spa. Sure sign of a great hotel is when you don’t want to leave and I didn’t!

Stunning location and grounds. The staff are so warm and helpful. The room was spacious, comfortable and very private. Plenty of towels, robes, spa shower products. Luxurious rooms. Great variety in dining options, local food suppliers. Great history in the hotel & grounds. Endless chances to explore & try new activities from kayaking, clay pigeon shooting, archery, walking, falconry fishing. The spa is beautiful & really relaxing, very helpful staff with plenty of privacy. Delicious breakfast...

Lovely welcome on a damp evening. The rooms are exceptional and we had a very nice meal in the bar area followed by live music. A really lovely hotel with an understated exterior that wows you once inside. No car park a small inconvenience.

Our three day stay at Lough Inagh Lodge hotel lived up to its score of 10 out of 10. The hotel is the essence of comfort and old world charm. The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is excellent and the service is 5 star. Super location right in the heart of Connemara.

The Lodge at Ashford Castle was honestly one of the best stays we've ever had in Ireland - the service and staff were out of this world! Everyone was so attentive and welcoming (even with our pup - so hard finding dog-friendly hotels in Ireland, let alone one that rolls out the red carpet!). Gorgeous location with lots of great walks. Breakfast was delicious and super hearty for a day of adventuring. And loved all the activities offered at the castle. We hope to come back some day!

Great hotel very comfortable. Will definitely be back unfortunately the only downfall is the food. Food not good if they master that then it would be perfect.

As it was our wedding anniversary I requested a nice room, and they listened. Just lovely, right beside the river. A very relaxing stay, no Covid worries, no crowds, I hope to return on our great big anniversary next year

Really enjoyed our break at Connemara Sands. Rooms were bright and airy, plenty of space. Food was delicious and good choice. Beautiful scenery and beaches.

Overall a great experience,, only disappointment was when I checked out I settled my bill and then another €18.00 was taken from my account
It may not seem like much but that incident casts a shadow of doubt on the experience and I’m afraid I wouldn’t be comfortable returning,, it’s a pity but in today’s technology mistakes like that shouldn’t occur

Very comfortable stay and everything clean. Really comfortable beds and all required amenities in room. Housekeeping staff all great, majority of staff in restaurant were excellent, same in bar.
Breakfast was excellent and though we did have to wait a bit, once seated, service was excellent. Gym a bit worn, could do with a facelift but pool and pool area lovely.
Would highly recommend a stay in the Castlecourt, Great location, lovely staff, great food. We will be back. Thank you :)
