    The mattress was a little thrashed. Comfortable enough but the springs made a lot of noise. Theres a couple broken inside it

    Lovely quiet place to stay. A friendly proprietress. Plenty of parking. Wifi and water pressure were great. The Irish Breakfast was plentiful. (Seriously. Im a big fella and couldnt get through it all. Tell her to make it light when you get there). Good towels. It was quiet.

    This B&B proved to be a lovely starting point for our first journey across Ireland. Our room overlooking the ocean was very clean and got everything we needed. Although the location is next to a somewhat busy road, we had a quiet and peaceful nights sleep. The owner is very kind and polite.

    Nothing. If you are looking for something upscale, then I'd probably keep looking, but if you're searching for an increasingly rare traditional Irish B&B experience, then you've found a gem.

    It's hard to beat the location, the hospitality of Geraldine and especially for single travelers such as myself, the value of Radharc Arainn. Geraldine goes above and beyond to welcome you, offering guests rides to the bus stop when available and just sitting down for a chat, something rare and refreshing in this day and age. She even took time out of her busy day to practice some Irish with me. I paid $75/night for breakfast and a simple but comfy double room with a flexible cancellation policy---again, hard to beat. An Spidéal is one of my favorite places to visit in Connemara, and Radharc Arainn is within walking distance to a gorgeous beach and a buzzing town.

    It was a lovely stay, so nothing was disliked.

    We had a wonderful stay at this location after spending a day on Inis Mor. We were upgraded to an upstairs room with ensuite, but booked the last room with private but separte bath across the hall... There was a mix up on booking with another. Our breakfast was perfect and the hostess was very lovely to chat to. We only spent on night as we were heading out to another location.

    In general there was nothing really bad. Maybe some minor things that can be improved: - It would be comfortable to have a desk or at least some bedside table in the room - Water was not draining good from shower

    - A clean room in a beutiful house - Nice and helpful host - Good and tasty breakfasts - A lot of space for parking
