    Vegetarian breakfast option was eggs and tomatoes, maybe a few mushrooms and beans could be added.

    Lovely house in a beautiful setting, hosts very friendly.

    If you like a wine or beer with your evening meal, you will have to have a designated driver or have a soft drink, no hardship in that. Really we didn't find anything to dislike.

    Breakfast was very good and plenty of it. cooked to order and have just what you wanted. Beware of the Irish Soda Bread, it is addictive! The shower was great, once we had figured it out, not difficult. Mine Host could also advise of places to visit.

    Felt right at home with the kitchen and eat in area connected so we got to watch our breakfast being made. Geraldine and Micah work hard making breakfast personalized for all their guests!

    Everything about the stay was well above expectations, from the flexibility of arrival time, to the absolutely immaculate condition of the rooms, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Whitethorne Lodge. The room size for a family was ideal & although we took 2 rooms, a family of four could easily fit in a single room. The staff were really kind & accommodating, providing us with a friendly welcome through to a very lovely breakfast that the kids & adults enjoyed.

    Very welcoming and friendly, the room was clean. The breakfast was good, we got nice pieces of advice from the hosts who were very helpful. It is 5 minutes from Cong by car or 20 minutes by foot. It is very calm, we only heard sounds from the sheeps on the fields next to the house. A great stay !

Breakfast was great and plentiful. In room T.V, WiFi, Tea and coffee and toiletries, were enjoyed. Great location just outside Cong village, near Ashford Castle and the stunning Connemara National Park. The property is a short walk down to the waters edge of Loch Corrib.

    Nothing - we would not change a thing

    We stayed for three nights in June 2024 going to a wedding in nearby Cong. Everything about our stay was excellent. The hosts, Mike and Geraldine, were so accommodating from the time we arrived and throughout, until we left. We had three nights in a larger room which was incredibly comfortable and clean, and the breakfasts were fantastic. Location of the B&B was slightly out of the way but this was a positive as the surrounding areas were very picturesque and added to our enjoyment.

    Nothing! It’s exceptional.

    Geraldine and Michael are first-rate hosts! I was warmly welcomed to their beautiful B&B farm, and generously taken care of throughout my stay. The place is immaculately clean and tidy and as comfortable as a five-star hotel. The full Irish breakfast with Michael’s homemade Irish soda bread was the best I’ve had in my 90+ days traveling the Emerald Isle.
