Lough Inagh Lodge Hotel  

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.

We loved the place totally. We wished we were able to stay longer but had another venue to move on to. The people, food, atmosphere, our fabulous room overlooking the lake are just some of the great things about Lough Inagh Lodge Hotel. We will definitely be going back, and for a longer stay.

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

Nothing I didn't like.

The location is really fine when you enjoy Connemara and nature. The breakfast is really great as well as the overall service. The room was large.

No kettle in the room. Bathroom equipment is really poor

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!

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

Accueil très chaleureux et compétent, confort de la chambre et salle de bains, vue exceptionnelle sur un lac grandiose, aspect "so british" des salons et salle à manger, abondance du breakfast, présence attentive et discrète en même temps du personnel et/ou de la direction : à recommander vivement !

Le calme et la decoration de l hotel

Hotel tres eloigne des sites animes et soiree triste car uniquement restaurant gastronomique

Location. Staff. Comfort. Food.

We had a wonderful stay at this gem of an hotel. It is situated in the Lough Inagh valley and can boast the best view of the Twelve Pins of any of the Connemara hotels. The welcome was warm, the food memorable, the rooms, particularly the beds, comfortable.

Friendliness, we were treated like friends of the family, rather than paying guests. Great food, really comfortable atmosphere and a great hotel to relax in for a weekend.

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