We had a room with absolutely stunning lake and mountain view. Room was big, clean, but a bit tired.
Breakfast menu was pretty standard as at all hotels. Food was tasty though
Parking was free.
Situated in the picturesque village of Leenaun, the Portfinn Lodge offers views of the Maumturks Mountains. The house is on the southern shore of Killary Harbour, in the heart of Connemara.

Breakfast ok but small selection. Location excellent
Leenaun itself is small village by the sea. It is withing easy drive from Connemara National Park
walking and hiking trails and Kylemore Abbey. Also other activities on offer near-by.
Excellent place to stay for exploring the scenic countryside.

You have to see it to appreciate it!
You have to see it to appreciate it! I can describe it in my words but I would not do it justice. It is simply beautiful! Waterfalls, mountains, beaches, so many places to walk and cycle. Lots of nice places to eat and drink. The weather does not matter at all - summer/winter - it is still beautiful. Just go there and see for yourself.

Ideal location, pubs and shops.
Ideal location, pubs and shops. Gift shop expensive in both Leenane and Clifden. Ideally located for a short cruise on Killary bay, too short , could have gone further out in the bay. Conveniently located for Clifden and Connemara National park, and Kylemore Abbey and excellent Gardens. We travelled via Westport and Louise burg and via Delphi onto Leenane, very scenic.
The Leenane Hotel is ideal for staying and the food is excellent. Ample free parking.
We've stayed previously and will again, hard to find fault with the area or the hotel.

Really exquisite place.
Really exquisite place. The hotel is in a small and beautiful town and the view is amazing, If you want a break from city monotony this is THE place. Even the road to Leenaun is beautiful (Wild Atlantic).
If you like authentic Irish food, you will definately like the food here.

Wonderful Hotel with stunning views.
Wonderful Hotel with stunning views. Ideal for hikers & as it's dog friendly you can even bring your pet! Great Food, Friendly staff & will return again & again. Highly recommended a Deep Tissue Massage by Bart!!
We wanted to find a place off the beaten path and this was a wonderful find! They were able to get us into our room before check in time and took great care of us while we waited. There are several walking trails that depart from the hotel and take you through the beautiful countryside. There is a beautiful river and all sorts of activities to do in better, warmer weather. Even in the cold rain, with low clouds it was wonderful sitting by a fireplace looking out the window at the beautiful mountains.
This is a good, old-fashioned country hotel. The public rooms have been well decorated and fitted out, with a bright welcoming appearance and lots of interesting art. We were downstairs in the annex which doesn't have quite the same view and sense of place as the upstairs rooms in the main hotel building, but which are spacious with a decent layout. Breakfast was excellent, and the a la carte dinners were good hearty country-style meals. The location, of course, is excellent.
The main interest is the location of the Convent: absolutely stunning setting, at the heart of Connemara’s wild nature.
The room: clean, tidy, simple and comfortable.
The guesthouse: Sean is a great host - very careful his guests have all they need, and very nice. The hotel is a former convent, with a beautiful dining room (great breakfast!) that used to be the chapel.
Three/Four little restaurants nearby and two grocery shops.
Bus station nearby. Very accessible.
Had a really lovely few days in Connemara
I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone
When we arrived the place was lovely and cosy
The owner had the heating on for us and even left a basket of log's for the stove..
The cottage was spotless
It was like home away from home
Leenaun is only a five minute drive away and Westport and clifden 30 minutes drive
So all and all a great experience
Will definitely be back again
Hopefully stay longer next Time
We really enjoyed our stay in The Connemara Hostel. Heather at reception was amazing she is so friendly and helpful she really made our stay enjoyable. All the staff were so lovely.
We will definitely go back and have already recommended it to everyone we've spoken to since our stay.
Such a beautiful setting!! Connemara is a spectacular place to visit.
Lovely hostess! We were mesmerized by the gorgeous mountain views. It's a quick 10 min into Leenaun, which is a quaint seaside town with friendly people and essentials. The breakfast was very good. Room and beds were comfy and clean. Bathroom was excellent. We loved everything about our stay.
The lodge is located by the Killary fjord (one of 3 fjords in Ireland). It was very beatiful!
Room was very nice and clean, the breakfast was good (and not expensive) and the owner was very kind.
It is very near the Connemara national park and Kylemore abbey.
Great place to stay in Connemara. The location was perfect. Views stunning. A couple minutes walk to bars and restaurants. Very central for all places to visit.
The owners of the property were so helpful and friendly which made our stay even better.
The hostel is in a great location for exploring Connemara. Simple, yet comfortable accommodation with beautiful surroundings. We didn’t stay long enough to take advantage of the activities offered by the resort, but there were lots on offer.
Nice view of the water from my room. The breakfast starts at 8am which was too late for my planned hike. The hotel made porridge, toast, coffee, etc available from 7am to suit our early start which was very nice of them.
Such a nice guesthouse and in a great location to walk about Leenaun. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable and well appointed. Nice beds and large closet. Free parking and great wifi!!
The location was stunning and the hotel had a wonderful old world vibe. The view was amazing. Breathtaking! The service was exceptional and it was very comfortable. We had a lovely time.
The staff was really friendly. Flexible check-in and out hours. Great location. Affordable. It's a simple place, perfect for people wanting to sleep and wake up to go explore Connemara.
Excellent hidden treasure in Connemara Ireland. Authentic lodge at the lake. Very pleasant to stay with friendly staff. Great hospitality, very good cuisine. I like to come back.
Meals were great. Staff were helpful and friendly. The scenery was magnificent....right in the middle of the Connemara. You could just sit and marvel at the scenery,
