Hotel location was excellent with amazing views of the loch and the surrounding hills.
Public rooms were very comfortable.
Facilities for travellers with pet dog were good with small lakeside garden across the road adjacent to loch.
Short walk to small village with warm welcome in the Hamilton bar.
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.

The location of the Delphi Resort is amazing so close to Doo Lough and in the wilderness of Connemara. While this hotel is geared towards the adventurous type, it is a great location to wind down from a few days in a Camper. I have stayed here before out in the courtyard and you get privacy while close to the facilities. The food especially the Seafood Chowder was first class.
The best chowder I have had in a long time. Breakfast very good and plenty of staff. Staff very accommodating.
Situated in the centre of Connemara and overlooking the Killary fjord, The Connemara Hostel offers free Wi-Fi, a tennis court and free on-site parking.

The hotel is situated beside Killary Fjord, Ireland’s only fjord, in the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way. The accommodation in the hotel was clean and comfortable and we were allowed to keep our dog in the room. In fact we could bring Bella with us everywhere except the restaurant. Staff were courteous and friendly and the substantial meals were promptly served.

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.
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.
The hotel was in the perfect location with stunning views. The staff in the hotel and bar were fantastic. If you stay here you have to eat! The food was amazing. We had an issue with our hot water and within minutes the staff were there to help out. We will definitely be back! Oh, also.. expect some of the best homemade Irish brown bread you have ever had!
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.
A beautiful setting in the west of Ireland. The hotel was nice, generally clean and the staff friendly and helpful. A bit of a kooky set up but we had an overall enjoyable stay.
The restaurant served up some great dishes so dinner on one of the nights we stayed was really enjoyable.
The restaurant at this hotel is pretty good. We had dinner and their complimentary irish breakfast and both meals were lovely. It was also good value for money. The staff was also very polite and helpful. Good location and views can be great depending on the weather.
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.
Breakfast was excellent and offered lots of choices. Food was delicious. The hotel location is in such a beautiful area surrounded by mountains and water. Beautiful to look out and see the scenery when enjoying dinner and a glass of wine.
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.
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!!
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.
We brought our dog. The hotel is dog friendly. Duke drank in the bar with us. He had a great time on his holidays and so did we. The food was incredible and so were the staff
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,
