Lough Inagh Lodge Hotel  

The hotel setting is so spectacular with breathtaking scenery. The staff are really welcoming, warm, helpful and extremely friendly - they cannot do enough for you and give plenty of advice with regards to local attractions - and there is so much to do in the area, especially if you like the out-doors. The restaurant food is divine and scrumptious. The hotel is really charming, romantic and comfortable. We had a huge comfy bed. My husband and I definitely plan to return as soon as we can!

The Lough Inagh Lodge has lovely views of the mountains and lough. I feel this is the most endearing feature of the Lodge. My Husband and myself were travelling with 3 friends from America. I was somewhat disappointed when I first saw the lodge but I think the surrounding beauty is the highlight. The room we had was Large, nicely furnished and clean. The bathroom was also really large with a ‘dressing room’ leading into it which had slippers and robes. There were a few toiletries in the bathroom and there were also 2 bottles of water on a table in the room, which are all nice touches. I have to say it was a comfortable room and there were 3 sections of windows giving good views of the grass area and also a glimpse of the Lough from one of the side windows. Within the Lodge, there are a couple of nice rooms to relax in (like drawing rooms- old fashioned word I know) with a variety of books to read if desired. We all adjourned to one of the rooms for most of the evening. We ordered coffee and dessert and sat happily beside the log fire chatting. After a long drive it was just what we needed! (We had misjudged the driving distance from Clifden to Recess, that N59 is forever etched on our memories, it took such a long time to get there but we had a laugh). Next morning we had a lovely breakfast; there is plenty of choice and they even brought out some freshly baked scones from the oven which was a nice touch. In conclusion, I think due to the fact that we had stayed in 2 castles before arriving at the Lodge (The Lough Rynn Castle and The Abbeyglen Castle Hotel), it had less of an impact on us all, the only WOW factor was the surrounding beauty of the Lough and Mountains. However having said that, the lodge is a nice relaxing place, the staff are friendly, the food is nice and as mentioned the scenery is fantastic

I had booked 3 rooms: 2 Doubles and 1 Single. All of our rooms were allocated beside each other, as stated above we had no problem with our room, in fact I think we had the nicest amongst the 3 rooms. However, the other couple had to move from their room because upon entering their room, my friend noticed a strong unpleasant odour . She indicated this to me to see if I could get anything myself and immediately upon entering I got the same smell. It reminded us of ‘sewage’. The gentleman who was checking us in, noticed that we looked unhappy and we told him the problem (although I don’t know how he didn’t smell it). He asked did they want to move to another room which of course they did. He apologized for the inconvenience but he did try to suggest that it was from somebody previously smoking in the room but without a doubt in our minds, that wasn’t the source of the problem. My friends were moved to a room upstairs which was nice but they had preferred the first room, so unfortunately it did put a bit of a dampner on the experience. The other negative point would be that when we went to bed that night, due to the fact that our bedroom was located on the ground floor at the end of the corridor, I awoke to voices and laughter coming from either the bar or one of the sitting rooms. My friend who was at the beginning of the corridor could hear it more clearly than us and the other couple who had been moved upstairs said that they felt like they were situated over the bar area due to the noise levels. I personally got back to sleep quickly but I think the other 3 were not as fortunate. Therefore this might be something to bear in mind when booking a room.

Away from it all

So very quaint, quiet and relaxing. The staff was so warm and welcoming. The location was wonderful. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Good friendly relaxed atmosphere. Great food (and bar menu was different).

Nothing I didn't like.

Fantastic location. Rooms were clean and spacious . Everything was top notch.

A lovely hotel in a beautiful location,the staff went out of their way to make sure my partner and i had an enjoyable stay,the hotel made us see that it had a genuine unique Irish feel to it which i was not sure existed,my partner and i were recently in Tuscany in a lovely hotel and it was great to be so impressed by a hotel only two counties away.

All of it, everytime I thought it couldnt get anymore perfect it did.

Fantastic surroundings, excellent staff attention to detail and extremely friendly and helpful.

While the menu is good the food let down the experience alittle possibly due to not having full capacity of the hotel. It was satisfactory but not wow.

The location was wonderful - fantastic access to Connemara, lakes, mountains. Well sign-posted and nice access to lake in front of hotel. Nice hotel surroundings. Comfortable. Very helpful, welcoming and friendly staff which added to our short stay. Appreciated the rich heritage that is still being maintained in the hotel, through furnishings etc.

Too expensive!! Quality and provision does not match the price of €139 for a double room. The facilities available do not match the price - small number of tv channels, no tea/coffee facilities, no mobile phone coverage, weak wifi in hotel room. I actually don't have a problem with not having al of the above - yet I need to be given something more when paying such a large amount! The location and style of the hotel is not enough for this price. I also felt that the food was overpriced in the dinner menu - though we were very appreciative when the chef made up a second vegetarian dish for us. ( we are vegetarians, and like most places, there was only one veg option on the main course menu). I'd like to know why the food was expensive - was it organic? Locally sourced? Perhaps this can be clarified on the menu. Also, some quiet, background music would work really well in the restaurant area. The reading areas were accessible, very comfortable and homely. I also liked the fresh flowers and would have appreciated more fresh flowers/plants in the hotel rather than plastic flower arrangements (again, matching quality with price). I think this place has such potential- great location, great staff - but based on the room that we got, I feel that the pricing scheme needs to be evaluated.

De tweede keer dat we hier hebben gelogeerd (vorige keer in 2008) en opnieuw heerlijke dagen gehad. De ligging aan het meer met uitzicht op de heuvels is spectaculair. Ideaal uitgangspunt om Connemara te ontdekken. De kamers zijn erg ruim, eten heerlijk en personeel behulpzaam. Echt een aanrader!

Excepcional en todo y en el entorno. Sinceramenete: compensa, y mucho, cualquier esfuerzo por alojarse allí.

No poder estar mas días.
