Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Connemara

The location of Leenane Hotel makes it an excellent base for exploring Connemara. The facilities include a bar, a spacious restaurant and a private resident’s lounge. We absolutely loved our stay. Very well maintained hotel, nice people, great evening with live music, decent restaurant. Price and Quality ratio is one of the best I have experienced. Thanks!

Situated on the banks of the Owenriff river in Oughterard, Co. Galway, Camillaun Lodge with Lough Corrib Boat Hire features a full-size floodlit tennis court, a spa bath and direct access to Lough Corrib by boat from the garden. What a wonderful 3 nights in Oughterard. Gregory and Deirdre are amazing hosts. Deirdre generously loaned her golf trolley for my round at Oughterard Golf Course, which was just minutes away. The location is idyllic... along the river, with a trail (short cut) into town. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Enjoyed visiting with the other guests while we ate. Would love to come back during fishing season.

On the tranquil shores of Lough Inagh, this charming 4-star country retreat offers spacious en suite rooms. There is an oak-panelled bar and a cosy library, and guests can enjoy free WiFi throughout the property. If your travelling the connemara make sure to stay the night here! The staff from the get-go were very nice and very helpful. As a passing mountain biker I needed over night storage - this was no problem as one of the lads right away gave me a hand. The food is top class, you have to taste it to believe it! The room and the location is also top class with spectacular views of the lough Inagh and the huge mountains that dominate the gorgeous location.
