A gem of place on the edge of the water
Fantastic stay, first time & will be back with more of the family. What a location, on the water, sea water swimming, hot tub overlooking the water, hot outdoor pool, great breakfasts, cosy bar & plenty of comfortable chairs & rooms to lounge in & sip coffee, read the papers/ book, or simply chill out. Lovely walks around the lake & sea & gardens. A total gem of a place. The staff & manager, Ann Marie could not have been more friendly & helpful. We will be back!

If you would like Old World Charm, character and a top notch staff catering to your every need, this is the place to stay at. It's a lovely location, right on the water on a beautiful property that is full of Kodak moments. They have croquet, outdoor pool, jacuzzi with a fabulous view of the bay and a variety of rooms on the main floor for reading, relaxing & refreshing. The pub has nice carved wood and charm. The best is the service, which is exemplary, attentive and first class. My only negative, is the bathrooms in the rooms are a bit dated, and could be updated. It's like you went back 50 years in time, but they are fully functional. The morning breakfast was wonderful, and recommend the eggs benedict.

Connemara classic!
A true haven nestled in the beautiful surrounds of Connemara. Linda and Ann Marie were on top of everything, as always, during my most recent stay and their largely international staff are more Irish than ourselves with their open welcome and accommodating nature. They could not do enough for the guests. One was more friendly and attentive than the next. I availed of the fantastic heated outdoor pool in the starry Galway night. Heaven. I have been coming here for nearly 20 years and the food quality has never waned. Exceptional as always and great to see they still offer the same welcome to our canine friends as well. Like Arnold, I will be back!!!

disappointing overall
Outdoor heated pool was uncomfortably cold, a real disappointment. Reception was disappointing, staff could do with some retraining. Not a very welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast staff were nice. Location is fantastic. Probably won't return. Has great potential if it got an facelift.

You couldn't get any further west
Renvyle House is old fashioned in the best kind of way. The service is excellent and all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was a great surprise, it was top quality and really well cooked. A good mix of fresh fish as well as game and the usual steaks etc. Overall the best compliment I could pay the hotel is that I'll be back (and its a 4 hour drive from my house) .

Three star at best, pleasant stay.
Absolutely beautiful setting on the coast, the hotel is country style quaint, unfortunately its not been kept up to the standard I recall on my first visit many years ago. Furnishings are quite tired in the hotel itself, although the bedroom curtains looked to be fairly new and the beds were comfortable. The plumbing is extremely noisy, and the showers are old and were luke warm , we could hear the people in the room above every time they used the toilet, even at night !! We dined in the restaurant the first night, and while the staff were very pleasant, they lacked knowledge of the menu, it took three attempts to get clarification on desserts, they also didn't know the cost, as we were advised "€49", which we found out was actually €55. A bit saucy for what was offered. Breakfast was fabulous, great choices , hot food was made very fresh and to perfection. Ideal for families in these times ( and there were a lot there ) they have a lovey outdoor pool, but if want some quite, you will have to use it early morning or late evening. I would return, but will be lowering my expectations on a 4 star resort , its a 3 a best.

This is a beautiful, comfy spot but older travellers but not so suitable for families and younger couples! Can’t fault the hotel in terms of cleanliness and service, staff are lovely but it is a bit like stepping back in time. The room was lovely and warm, no annoying electrical fans at night to worry about, however, be prepared, it is a little like staying at your granny’s in the 1980s

Overall a nice stay. Dinner was good in the bar. Surprised by a really sweet Irish couple who broke out the violin and piano after dinner. They were guest not hired performers.

No more than 3 stars here
The hotel is tired and shabby and needs a serious renovation of carpets and furniture. Food is good but service could be better. Front office staff are really not into 4 star service. This establishment is 3 stars at best. Be careful!!
