Lock in a great price for The Gateway Hotel – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

Kerry, United Kingdom

I come here all the time it is a great place to stay. The staff are lovely.

Christian, United Kingdom

This is a very friendly hotel, centrally located in Swinford town and close to shops, bars etc. The hotel looks quite small from the outside but don't let that deceive you. It is quite big inside and very comfortable. The thing that struck us most was the friendliness of staff and their willingness to ensure that everything was OK for us. We ate in the bar/restaurant on the first night and the food was fantastic and really great value. There is a lovely ambience in the hotel, and both tourists and locals were eating and drinking there - always a good sign! Next morning our breakfast was delicious, piping hot and there was a great selection of breakfasts that would definitely cater for all tastes. Again, some locals were having breakfast in the hotel, which was lovely to see. For the price that we paid for this hotel, I would have no hesitation in recommending it, or in returning in the future.

Centrally located in the beautiful market town of Swimford in County Mayo, only 15 minutes drive from Ireland West Airport Knock, the family-run Gateway Hotel is truly the gateway to the West of Ireland, just off the main N5. River Moy is less than one mile from the property.

Rooms at the Gateway Hotel boast a TV, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities. Guests can also relax in the Jack Feeney lounge area, enjoying free Wi-Fi and modern conference facilities. There is a fully licensed Flying Doc Bar and Lounge, and the intimate dining room serving home-cooked food.

The perfect location of Kelly's Gateway Hotel makes it an ideal base for touring and exploring the wonderful and majestic region that is the West of Ireland. Whether it be golf, angling, heritage, walking or many other activities, they are all here right on the doorstep of the hotel. The staff at the hotel would only be too happy to organize everything for you to ensure that you have the perfect stay.

Free car parking is available on site.

“Fantasic value for money - but the value is surpassed by the friendly staff. Would highly recommend!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The rooms are a little bit dated, but very comfortable. In the main stairwell there is a constant (but not overpowering) smell of food. There is a fan built into the wall there, so not sure if something is wafting up from the kitchen? However it was confined to the stairwell so did not in any way impinge on the rooms and as I said, it was not overpowering and definitely did not take away from our stay. Both of these comments are observations rather than criticisms.

눉The only downside was the party noise downstairs until 6am which filtered up to the room. Could do with soundproofing better, either windows, door or other.
