Abbeyglen Castle Hotel Economy Room

EllenRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Staying at Abbyglen was a magical experience. Brian and the staff made me feel very welcome and everyone was super friendly. I had a wonderful meal at the restaurant and breakfast was a treat every morning. The prosecco reception added an extra something that made my stay even better. Even though I was travelling solo, I never felt alone. Walking distance from Clifden center, easy bus connections to Connemara National Park. Rented a bike and cycled the Sky Road. The room is very comfortable, with a beautiful ensuite bathroom. Don't forget to have a drink at the piano bar in the evening, and enjoy the live music and amazing atmosphere!

Seaside Log Cabin

SiannonRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Perfect stay for a relaxing and private getaway. The cabin is cozy and clean, surrounded by a lovely garden and mesmerizing scenery. You’d be thrilled for a sunny day to explore, but should the rains come, the cabin is a perfect hideaway. Mary and Peter were welcoming and quick to respond to messages. Highly recommend.

Eagle Cottage Connemara

MikeRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The Eagle Cottage is the PERFECT getaway Airbnb! My wife and I stayed here for our wedding in Galway. It is the most beautiful, quaint, and quiet location. The surrounding farms, forest, and mountains make for an incredible backdrop as the property sits right on a lake. The property is secured with a gate and long driveway away from the main road. The main house is beautiful and spacious, while the guest house is quaint with a beautiful lookout over the lake. It has plenty of room for our family to stay, while also room for our photographer and makeup artist. Stunning location for a first look and wedding photos, while also being extremely close to beautiful Ireland spots for photos. The cottage is also only 45 minutes away from Galway making it easy it get in and out of the city. Highly, highly recommend the Eagle Cottage!! Sarah was extremely quick to answer and extremely helpful!
