    Beautiful views on the lower part of the sky road, close to Cliften and not too far off of our travel route. Large room w private bath. Wonderful breakfast. The shower stall was just fine and comfortable for us, however it is small.

    Lindie was the best host ever and the breakfast was yummy.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The hosts were incredibly gracious, kind and informative. They treated you like a member of their own family, providing a warm atmosphere and excellent breakfast. The accommodations were cozy and comfortable, and the location was breathtaking. One of the best memories of our trip across the Emerald Isle! Nothing, it was perfect.

    Beautiful view from the front door. Great breakfast options It was quite busy. My partner and I prefer a quieter accommodation

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The owners were incredible and truly made us feel at home! The breakfast was incredible including fresh made jelly/jams. The location was perfect, right on Sky Road, and had a lovely lake view.

    Lydie was very kind and friendly. Location was had great views of the water. Breakfast was delicious Older house and sometimes you can hear creaks but that’s somewhat expected

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    The view was spectacular. The breakfast? The best we had the 2 weeks we were travelling the country. We are always hesitant about B&Bs but this stay was absolutely fantastic.

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    The breakfast was good. The location was good. You could hear everything through the walls. We heard everything our neighbors were saying. For the price we paid, the room was disappointing due to the fact that it was like staying in a trailer. The room was damp the whole time. I would have liked if the time slot for the breakfast was longer than 30 minutes. We felt like we had to be down by 8:30 otherwise we would miss our opportunity for the breakfast which we paid for.

    Lidee was a delight. Yummy breakfast. Lovely view. Good size room. Convent to town. Tiny shower.

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Comfortable beds, excellent breakfast, wonderful host!

  • Engine customer Jul 2025

    Lydie's & Pierre's attention to detail with their guests' comfort in mind was evident during our stay: the breathing taking views, meticulously clean accommodation, & the AMAZING homemade food we had for breakfast. The pictures do not do this place justice. The rooms are upgraded and beautiful. I would stay here again if we ever visit Co. Galway again!
