Adjacent bathroom toilet had flushing issues and dripped all night.

The staff, especially Brenda went out of their way to welcome and make sure we were well taken care of. Helped with the property mountain bikes. The room was spacious and adequate.

Water pressure in the shower is not good. But that's it.

Amazing experience. Incredible service. Was way better than I thought it was going to be. Plus the breakfast was fantastic.

My stay was too short.

Sean and Brenda were very welcoming and made sure I had all I needed as a solo traveler with a knee injury. The room was bright, clean and warm. The lodge was located to some of the islands most popular sites

The beds were a little lumpy, the heating could have been turned on earlier and breakfast could have been more substantial.

Great location, friendly staff and very clean

No bike space inside. Not really a big deal. We took our seats inside with us overnight.

Plenty of space. Very clean. Close to the old fort and the worm hole.

It may not be a right choice for those who mind sound of other guests as it is a small cozy B&B. Phone signal was weak in the area but WiFi connection in the guest room was good.

Very friendly and caring host (Sean) and staff. I loved the location which is isolated but within hiking distance to some major attractions such as Dun Aonghasa, The Worm Hole and Kilmurvey Beach. From my room and from the lovely shared space I enjoyed the fantactic view of Dun Aonghasa in the distance throughout the day. Starry sky at night was amazing.

The location was amazing! The views from the lodge were breathtaking, and it was close to main attractions of the island. The best thing about our stay was our host Brenda, she really made us feel welcome and taken care of in the lodge! Such a sweet and kind spirit. The comforts in the lodge were amazing, we had the best sleep in there.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Sean, Brenda and (I think it was) Natalia, were so good to us. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Extremely genuine and kind people. Couldn't recommend enough.

The welcome we received was lovely Sean, and the girls are lovely people and made us feel at home. The location on the bnb is a bit away from the harbour. I definitely suggest renting an electric bike from the bike hire shop at the harbour to get around.We had a lovely stay, and breakfast was lovely and filled us for the day. We could have tea or coffee all day. We sat in the sitting room at night and watched telly it was like we were at home it was great. We will be back again. Thank you for having us.

Very very little. We really enjoyed our stay. One thing to note is that we arrived in the evening on a Friday and the taxi cab that had been recommended to us was not operating - this is not a problem from the Lodge, just a note. The restaurant/pub we dined at called us a cab. It might be helpful to pre-arrange transportation if you're arriving at night as it was pitch black when we visited in late October.

Sophia was lovely and greeted us when we arrived with excellent information and made us feel right at home. The next morning, she cooked us a lovely breakfast which fueled us for our bike ride around the island. The location is incredible. You look out the front door and the main attractions are within walking/biking distance. It is approximately a 15-20 minute car ride from the ferry. Sean, the owner, was so kind and took us to our ferry ride early Sunday morning. Very much appreciated!

Bear in mind that it is a long walk to Kilronan, the only place where you'll find food in the evening. But a taxi or bike ride is easy, or just grab a sandwich or some food to go at lunch time from nearby Teach Na Phaidí and stay cosy in. The floorboards are squeaky clean but also just squeaky, which means you might be aware of your next door neighbours. Nothing a good pair of earplugs can't deal with. The comfy bed and the wonders of the day might just have you sleeping before you care about the noise!

The staff there was so kind and helpful! Thank you Sean and Sophia! I loved that the lodge was a bit isolated from the rest. The surroundings are so so peaceful. It is also a quick walk to Kilmurvey and its treasures and not far from the wormhole (ask Séan for directions!). The bed was so comfy! The mattress was just the right firmness, the duvet super fluffy and warm, the sheets really soft and the pillows chunky like you need! It was so lovely to be able to rest so comfy after a long and lovely day on the island. The roller blinds are great to make the night last longer too. The whole place is roomy, cosy with no frills, and clean. The best bit might be the cuddly black kitty that lives around the premises!

Quiet, great location, and great staff.

It was as expected. Might be too quiet for some guests. Or too remote as you will need a ride or bike to get to Kilronan...but it was perfect for us!

It's located near some stunning sites. And any from the busyness of Kilronan and the daytrippers. Very peaceful and close to nature and history. We rented sturdy mountain bikes and did lots of riding on some rough rocks...tires held up!

Stayed in October 2023

The walls in the bedrooms were very thin and I could hear my neighbors while I tried to sleep

Sean and the girls working with him were kind and knowledgeable. I fell in love with the island while visiting and appreciated all the history from Sean and the rides to and from the ferry. I would come back in a heartbeat.

Should take it off the advert that its actually not 1.5 km from centre

I loved everything about my stay. The host and staff were all helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. The area is perfect for some rest, peace, and quiet. It is near many of the main attractions on the island including ths fort, beach, seven churches, waterhole, and more are a short walk away. Plenty of reading nooks and the bed felt like a cloud. I rented a bike to get around in and it was well worth it. The breakfast was delicious and tea and coffee was always available. I even extended my stay because I was so in love with the lodge and realized I needed more time to fully enjoy it. If you're looking for a quiet place to meditate, rest, read, or simply enjoy the beauty of the Aran Islands this is the place for you.

Just that it was a ways from the village and restaurants, etc., but the peacefulness compensated for it.

Room was large and light, bed very comfortable, and Sean was genuinely nice and attentive to our needs. The location was somewhat remote, which we expected & getting to a bit of a challenge with luggage, but with Sean’s assistance, we managed without a problem. The lodge is walkable close to many of the island’s attractions, including Dun Aonghasa. We would stay there again gladly.

Lovely bright rooms, comfortable and welcoming Great breakfast

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect for us with Dun Aonghasa, the Wormhole & Kilmurvey beach all within a short distance from the lodge. Seán was a great host & was very forthcoming with information on the local area & arranging taxis for us into the village. Having the option to rent bikes at the lodge was an added bonus, great way to get around the island. Great views surrounding the lodge also & a very comfy relaxing area downstairs.
