Room was spotless, breakfast was lovely and a great place to see connemara
IrelandSean was absolutely lovely and welcoming to us! Unique experience staying in a former convent. Loved the breakfast room w the stained glass windows! Beautiful view of the Killary Fjord.
United States of AmericaSean was so welcoming he gave us tea and cake. Room was spotless and had stunning views into kilkRy ford. Only 5 rooms on property so plenty of space in living room. V close to Leanne walking distance. Breakfast excellent.
IrelandIt's called the Convent for a reason... It actually was one. The owner was gracious, welcomed us in, invited us to sit and have tea and cake for a few minutes before showing us to our light, airy room. The room had a fantastic view looking out past the property to the fjord beyond. The shower was fantastic. The building and grounds are peaceful and idyllic. 'Loved it.
United States of AmericaAll sorts of trails for walking, delicious cooked breakfast, near restaurants for evening meals, and beautiful view. Mary and Sean were helpful hosts.
United States of AmericaBreakfast was delicious, room was comfortable and clean, views of Killary Fjord were beautiful!
United States of AmericaOf all the bnb s we stayed in on our trip, this was the best. We were greeted by the friendly staff and given a welcoming drink and delicious snack...just great after the drive. Beautiful setting and view is stunning. The room was comfortable, clean and reasonable size. The breakfast was great and the service excellent. Recommend it to anyone who values service and a stunning location.
AustraliaSean is a terrific host an owner. He had a fire going in the main room as we arrived on a cold, rainy, windy evening.The Convent is a beautiful, old and well-kept former nuns' residence in charming town of Leenane. Easy access to Kylemore Abby, Cong, Ashford Castle, and many sights along the Connemara route. Not far from the village and on the Killary harbor/Fjord. Dining options are terrific in the village. Sean offered dinner reservation arrangements. We chose"The Blackberry" restaurant=top notch dining. We loved staying in unique setting: a blast from the past. The chapel is now the dining room, complete with original stained glass windows. Sean's wife, Mary, does the baking. (Beds are very comfortable. if it matters=all twins) Sean is a delightful source of information for any tourist. Our party of four totally enjoyed our visit.
United States of AmericaAmazing location in the most beautiful part of Ireland that we visited. We were greeted and given tea by the fireplace when we arrived, and then shown to our room which had an incredible view. The beds were small and firm, and the room was very clean. Breakfast was incredible and took place in a lovely room.
United States of America... YOU MIGHT SAY "OLD FASHIONED"... AND THEREFORE DELIGHTFUL, WITH CHARACTER. SEÁN, THE HOST, A MOST AMIABLE, HELPFUL, AND LIKABLE MAN... AND LEENANE? A SMALL VILLAGE (HAMLET?) IN, TO MYSELF AND MY SON, SEDUCTIVE SURROUNDINGS. NATURE SPEAKS, INVITES...
