Logement typique irlandais avec une vue magnifique sur l'unique fjord d'Irlande.Chambre très spacieuse, calme.
very basic and pricey for what you get. not very welcoming and reception hall smelt of stale cigarette smoke. breakfast is not included in price.
Très bon séjour. Très bon accueil. Le bémol c'est la pression de la douche.
Toilet was difficult to flush properly.
Great location, staff is great, room was too small for my comfort.
Outdated shower fauced
The property is great for a small b&b. While not fill of modern amenities, it was clean, the staff were very accommodating and offered great views of the Fjord.
Amazing house with stunning views over the fjord
Great ciews
Gorgeous view of the fjord - could be better! Reception area had an oder of cigarette smoke but the room and dining area were fresh and clean. Hosts were friendly and the breakfast was very good.
Très bon séjour, l'hôtel est bien situé pour visiter le Connemara. Leenan est une toute petite bourgade.
Wonderful hosts.
Nothing fancy about this place, but it was clean and comfortable. There was a view of the head of the fjord from our room, which was nice. The owner, who is Eastern European, was very considerate and helpful. Convenient parking in back of the hotel, but a number of steps to climb with luggage to get to reception. The woman's son did help us when we checked out. She served a buffet breakfast, which was nice. There was a biger, fancier hotel up the road a half-mile that we went to for dinner.
Amazing views!! Lovely comfortable cute hotel.
Wanted to explore the wild Atlantic and this was a perfect nights stay. We enjoyed a nice dinner at the local pub. Great breakfast and even snuck in a massage at the hotel next door before heading off to see the Abbey. Such an amazing area to visit.
It was convenient to town but very very small room and noisy toilet plumbing
B&B that does not include breakfast??
Close to the inlet
Good waterside lodging for a trip to county mayo. Make sure you having the # of guests staying correct in the booking, there was a significant difference from 2 to 3 guests, despite the room easily accommodating 3 guests.
Location is nice , room is also nice and clean
The view from our room was amazing and it was located in a convenient spot. Quiet town with friendly people. Inexpensive, no frills stay. Breakfast was not included, which was a surprise for a Bed & Breakfast. We did not find that out until the morning. The shower did not have much water pressure.
Super très propre et vue à tomber
El lugar es maravilloso Todo perefecto
This was a good one night stopping place to see Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park and Sky Road. There is an oyster farm not far away as well. The surrounding area is very picturesque but still has some restaurants and shops an easy walking distance. The furniture in the shared living area is shabby. Though the room furnishings are old and a bit worn it is all clean. The shower has just enough water coming out to get you clean. Overall it’s probably a fair room price for what you get.
Belle propriété avec la plus jolie vue pour déjeuner. Choix de dejeuner continentale ou irlandais pour un leger supplément. Propriétaire courtois
Owner was very amicable and kindly let us check in early, which allowed us to leave our luggage so it wasnt sat unattended in the car whilst we had a cruise down the Killary Fjord, breakfast was well presented and very tasty
The lakefront and pubs nearby. Also Enniff waterfall where we saw salmon jumping upstream!
The Killary Fjord has to be one of the most stunningly beautiful places on Earth. Standing with our backs to Gaynor’s pub, one of several locations used to film the award winning movie the Field, we stood in awe of the scenery. We had just arrived and after lunch in Galway we drove through gorgeous hills and valleys of Eastern Connemara to arrive at this spot. “Where are we staying?” my travelling companion Kelli asked and as I turned around and pointed I said “There”! We were so excited to see the wonderful white walls of Portfinn Lodge just behind us. The lodge is spotlessly clean, the staff are welcoming and friendly, you have everything you need with some old-world charm. Perfect. But let’s not undermine its finest quality; location. The view from every window could be framed and put on the wall. Even the rear facing ones have incredible vistas of the mountains that tower over it. It is also perfectly located for all the lovely pubs, restaurants and little shop, literally two minutes walk down the little old path that divides it’s pristine front lawns. Among these amenities you’ll find everything you could possibly need to wine and dine on sea food from just a stones throw away, drink a perfect pint of Guinness, shop for local produce, use the little post office or sit in the perfectly lovely Purple Door Café with a coffee, breakfast or lunch. But having eaten your delicious Portfinn Lodge breakfast, you’ll probably be too full. Thank you Portfinn 5⭐️
My husband and I chose this property without much research into the surrounding area. We were extremely surprised and pleased with not only the location but the accommodation. The B&B is located right across from the Killary Fjord in the small village/town of Leenane. While the town is small, there are enough restaurants and a convenient store that you don’t feel isolated. There are so many different activities and attractions in the surrounding area. The B&B itself was really lovely. The room was great. It was very spacious and the bed and couch were comfortable. The bathroom was clean and spacious as well. But the best part was the view. We had a direct view of the fjord and it was breathtaking. The couple who own the B&B were extremely kind and welcoming. They clearly work hard and take a lot of pride into their property. The breakfast selection was great and they even offered to make a larger meal for an extra charge. We only stayed for two nights but we were genuinely upset we couldn’t stay for longer. We could only recommend this place and we hope to be able to visit again in the near future.
Acogedor, buena habitación, bien situado.
A beautiful location for a reasonable price.
We met difficulties to find hotel with free rooms nearby connemara. Most them are full with Ukrainian residents. The good discovery was Porfinn Lodge : amazing view on the fjord, nice welcome, clean, standard room with good beds, good breakfast for a very correct price. I warmly recommend it.
Hotel B&B très sympa et bien situé. Notre chambre etait spacieuse avec une vue magnifique sur le fjord. A 5mn a pied pub très agréable ou l'on peut manger. Petit déjeuner tres bon et copieux servi sans la salle a manger avec vue sur le Flord
Pleasant staff, clean property and a great view
Il B&B ha una posizione meravigliosa affacciata sul fiordo ed è magnifico fare colazione nella sala con la vetrata ed il mare di fronte
Très bon endroit pour visiter le connemara.
Tbh, my first thought was that the host smelt like stale cigarettes! Whats this hotel going to be like. It looked like it was not loved! Needed some TLC. The room was basic and functional. no TV in room. There was a optional breakfast for 12 euro each but the cafe down the road was better and cheaper (shout out for the ladies at the purple door cafe). There were a few broken steps down to the road which need fixing before someone falls while using them.
This place is located in a really nice and quiet part of Ireland. The local scenery is fantastic and the location is in easy access from many roads. Their breakfast menu is extensive and their are some pubs within walking distance.
Ideal location for Killary Harbour, comfortable clean accommodation and great breakfast
A warm friendly welcome on arrival. Beautiful bedrooms and a delicious breakfast the next morning.
Loved staying here! Room was big. Bed was comfortable. Plenty pillows View from room over the fjord. Extremely quiet which was great for us. Parking was fine. En-suite was fine WiFi worked well We didn’t have breakfast here so can’t comment on that. But everything else was very good. Thank you
Great location with amazing views. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Lovely restaurants nearby .
Poor customer care
Such a warm, comfortable room. Great breakfast choices and fabulous views!!
Très bon séjour, calme, propre, très bien situé et la propriétaire est très sympathique et disponible.
This lodge overlooks the Fjiord-so each breakfast started off the day surrounded by beauty! The lodge is quaint and accommodating. The room was well appointed, very spacious and comfortable. The lodge was convenient to Connemara sights, the Abbey, potato famine trail, and more. I highly recommend this place. There are several restaurants in the small town for dinner.
Excellent location! Drive the Wild Atlantic Way which we would recommend. Leenane is a lovely area.
Very happy...
Angenehmes Haus, ruhig gelegen, kurzer Weg in den Ort, guter Ausgangspunkt für Erkundungen in Connemara.
