Accueil sympathique de notre logeuse, Josephine. Literie parfaite. Établissement tres bien tenue, jardin fleuri superbe. Petits dejeuners complets. Séjour parfait

I liked the location of the property, the cleanliness of the accommodation, the check-in and check out process, the host was very welcoming. I also appreciated the breakfast and my room had a beautiful garden view.
There were no issues with my stay.
Unique and peaceful location. Excellent host who makes sure we’re well fed before setting out.
Absolutely stunning views over the ancient monastic site and the Burren. Steeped in history. Easy drive to Coole where Lady Gregory lived, and other historic sites. Thoughtful hosts. Peaceful surroundings
You would need a car, but it is just a few miles from Gort and we'll worth the drive
Naomh Colman was the perfect example of a Bed and Breakfast! The room was comfortable, clean and private. Josephine our Hostess greeted us upon our arrival with lots of helpful suggestions which we inquired. The grounds were meticulous with beautiful flower beds making it lovely and inviting to come home to. Breakfast was extremely plentiful with the meats coming from locally sourced butchers and garden fresh tomatoes. A wonderful experience which we highly recommend.
We tried to come up with a negative with the only being there were no restaurant/pubs within walking distance but were an easy drive away.

Baja calidad. Habitación pequeña, falta mobiliario. Instalaciones básicas.
Super guesthouse tenue par Josephine. Décoration soignée, joli jardin fleuri. Literie impeccable.. Notre hôte est à nos petits soins. Emplacement idéal pour visiter la région des Burren. Adresse à recommander.

Josephine is warm, welcoming and has a lovely sense of humour. Ideal location to explore the Burren.. I now need to find another weekend to go back. The Irish breakfast was delicious fresh from the local butcher.

Loved everything. Josephine and Patrick catered to all our needs. Perfection!
The hospitality and friendliness of Josephine was amazing. Nothing, and I mean nothing was too much trouble for her to accommodate us. Her chat was so energetic with a genuine desire to get to know her guests. Loved her. The breakfast was outstanding and just the perfect quantity together with home-baked bread, scones and Guinness cake. A perfect Irish Breakfast. The B&B was spotlessly clean and on arrival we were made to feel so very welcome into her and Pat's home. I got a great sense of restfulness and peace and was so very comfortable in the company of two great Liverpool supporters. I will miss their banter. Great B&B.....
Leaving.
This beautiful B&B is located right across the street from the ruins of a cathedral and is stunning. The hostess Josephine and her husband went out of their way to make us feel welcome and we really enjoyed our stay there. The rooms and beds were beautiful and comfortable, the breakfast was delicious and she was able to accommodate my gluten and dairy free allergies flawlessly! They told us about the Gaelic Football Women's Final the first night and then answered all of our questions about gaelic football and hurling. Absolutely lovely couple. Also the flowers in the garden are beyond beautiful. We thoroughy enjoyed our stay.
I didn't dislike anything.
The best bacon I've eaten in Ireland! Everything was locally sourced or self-made. Amazing!
Naomh Colman is a hidden gem, minutes from the motorway but ages away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The ruins of Kilmacduagh loom larger as you near the property - photos do not do justice to the mysteriousness of the place. Josephine the host is a lifelong resident of the area and can tell you anything you want to know about it. And her breakfasts are not to be missed, freshly prepared to order each morning!
The property is not very large so it can be difficult to get privacy when you just need to have some quiet time alone. There is always Kilmacduagh across the road if you have your own chair or blanket!
Super clean

Noamh Colman Bed and Breakfast- Kilmacduagh, Gort, Co. Galway, Ireland Staying at Noamh Colman Bed and Breakfast was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. To say our stay was magical would be an understatement. Located in the heart of the Burren, this charming B&B offered the perfect mix of warm hospitality, comfort, and authentic Irish charm. Josephine was the kindest host and from the minute we arrived she and her husband made us feel like family. My family and I enjoyed chatting with Josephine and her husband, exploring the tallest free-standing tower in Ireland and playing football in the pitch in the backyard with our two boys. The rooms were cozy, clean, and tastefully decorated by Josephine’s husband, with a comfortable bed, a spotless ensuite bathroom, and a view overlooking the lush green countryside complete with neighboring cows. Breakfast was made to order each morning. Whether it was a full Irish breakfast with all the trimmings, or lighter fare like cereal, fruit, and toast, everything was made with care. What made Noamh Colman truly special, though, was the sense of genuine warmth. It felt less like a stay in a guesthouse and more like visiting old friends. If you’re looking for a peaceful, personable place to stay while exploring the west of Ireland, Noamh Colman B&B is an absolute gem. Highly recommended-We can’t wait to come back!
Everything was wonderful!
Nothing!!
Lovely, friendly and helpful host and tasty breakfast. Very comfy beds and beautiful location. Thank you for everything

The absolute best thing g about this B&B were our hosts Josephine and Pat. Friendly, helpful, informative, and outgoing, they make a stay at their B&B a pleasure! The breakfasts were terrific!
While clean and bright, the room was fairly tight and cramped.
Comfortable beds, very clean, home made brown bread and soda bread with breakfast Anfield "shrine" in back garden!
Josephine, the hostess, is amazing. Willing to try to accomodate all requests. Location is just across the street from round tower & ruins and The Burren is to the west. Quiet country location.
Josephine and Pat were great hosts they looked after us very well.
Everything was good
So cool being right across the street from the old church ruins and the tallest tower in Ireland . Our host was so sweet and made us a delicious breakfast.
Being across from the ruins and the curious cows
Josephine was an excellent hostess. She made us feel very welcome. She was very helpful with ideas of places to visit. A good breakfast set us up for the day. Many thanks
I had the fry, lovely local bacon and the runny egg I requested! Beautiful table setting in the intimate breakfast room.
Location out of the city to relax after flight and practice to drive. Very welcoming hosts. Felt like part of the family.
All good
The host. Josephine was very welcoming and kind. It a beautiful location and a beautiful house.

Very friendly couple and an excellent location.

Breakfast was delicious. This B&B is next to a ruined monastic site, so if you like history, it is here at the doorstep!
The position of the B&B was super! The owner was delightful to us. The breakfast was plentiful and very good
The room was too small, we didn't know where to put our suitcases!
Amazing owner & next to historic sites
Josephine is a very, very kind person.
This is one of the best B&Bs in Ireland. Josephine is the perfect host. She has cared about us in every detail. The house is beautiful. The rooms are very comfortable and VERY clean. A shower with hot water and high pressure. We had pancakes, toast, croissants, cereals...all what we want for breakfast. In short, everything was perfect. If one day we return to Ireland we will come back to this B&B for sure. See You Josephine & family!! Thank you very much for everything. You'll never walk alone 😜❤️
Everything Perfect !
Awesome welcome
It was lovely
Josephine was amazing! She was kind and helpful and made sure we had a great stay. The view from our window of the ruins was amazing.
A few steps from Kilmacduagh abbey, the views of the site from the breakfast window is very charming. It is close to the Burren with lots to do around. From a logistical point of view it was close to the motorway which was what I was looking for. The area is quiet and relaxing. Our host was friendly and professional. The room was s potless and comfortable. Breakfast was generous.
Absolutely gorgeous location. Very comfortable. Lovely breakfast. The owner, Josephine, is a wonderful person and a treasure. We would love to return!
We had a really great stay at this B&B. Naomh was really nice and courteous and always there if you need something or just to chat with you. It was like holiday at home and just lovely.
lovely peaceful location, with great friendly hosts....and a lovely breakfast...very enjoyable stay....
Josephine (the host) is the best!!! So welcoming, funny and nice! We had a really good time with her. Breakfast is great, room tiny but tidy and clean and really nice. The place is lovely and there is an interesting and beautiful and charming historical site, Kilmacdaugh, on the other side of the road. Josephine gave us as a farewell gift delicious chocolate sweets that she made herself. You can reach Gort in less than 10 minutes by car. We really loved to meet Josephine and her husband! Recommended!
Marvellous location opposite ancient monastic site. Hostess very helpful in every way.
Small room but OK for purpose
Absolutely breathtaking views of the countryside and a very beautiful lawn. Only a short walk from Ireland’s tallest tower! Josephine was super nice and very friendly, she recommended a few places for us to eat dinner. The breakfast was amazing; we had pancakes that were made and served by the lovely Sadhbh—she was fantastic! The bedrooms were also very nice. We had electric blankets to warm the beds, which was perfect for when it got a little chilly at night. Overall a truly wonderful stay!
Nothing! Our stay was fantastic
The hospitality by Josephine was exceptional. Sometimes it is best to stay away from hotels and stay with bnb. The host, location, guests were very good, helpful and kind. The place is away from the road and town (not too far) but very quiet and peaceful.
It is slightly remote, you must have a vehicle to reach here and further commute. Plan accordingly.
Josophene made me very welcome in her lovely b&b ! Beautiful countryside view, and looking into the old monastry.. Her hospitality and breakfast were great ! Spotlessly clean place, parking, just a short drive into Gort.. Well be back at some point.. ☆☆☆☆
Nicke and quite
It was a little bit cold inside but when we came home after a long day she had put warm blankets in our beds.
Friendliness of hosts. Diet suitable to gluten free .Freshly cooked breakfast unlike hotels .
We had a lovely stay!
Great location for exploring the Burren and Wild Atlantic Way. Spotless room and a lovely home cooked breakfast. It was a pleasure to stay at Josephine & Pat’s B&B.
Beautiful location
All was super!
Every thing that you would want for breakfast was available. Very helpful with local attractions etc and went out of her way to assist with washing when weather unpredictable, which was very much appreciated.
We where very happy and honestly could not find anything to complain about.
Very peaceful, comfortable with great views.
Liked everything.
Very friendly hosts, wonderful location
Beautiful surroundings
That we werent staying longer
The location was stunning, we were away for 10 nights and this was our favourite place. Made special by Josie the hostess who was really lovely and great to chat too. Beautiful sunset and the Abbey opposite the property is well worth a visit. Great breakfast as well. Don’t hesitate to book this one.
It was quiet and we walked across the street to the Abby. It was gorgeous! Josephine & Pat were very helpful & friendly.
I had a fantastic stay at Naomh Colman B&B. The host, Josephine, was very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was fantastic and the location was brilliant for exploring The Burren. 10/10 stay and will definitely be coming back!
Location across the road from round tower and monastic remains. Very friendly host.
Gort was a bit run down though had an excellent evening A good meal at Lady Gregory's Hotel
Our hosts were the most kind, honest and hardworking folks I have met. Josephine helped us with the directions for our day trip to the cliffs through the Burren way. She is hardworking, industrious woman who started this B&B almost 30 years ago. Both Josephine and her husband are wonderful hosts, and we got an opportunity to taste Josephine's baked scones and bread. Her granddaughter was our waitress for a day and overall, they made us feel at home. The whole facility was very clean, and it felt warm and homely. We will be happy to plan another visit and I wish Josephine and her B&B all the very best.
Josephine was a fabulous host who cares a lot about her guests. She provided restaurant recommendations and directions to sites as well as general information about the area.
A little remote from town but loved being right next to the ruins of the church and tower which we explored in the morning and also in the direction of the West Coast and Cliffs of Moher.
Josephine is the owner of this property and she is so friendly and treated us like family. The rooms are quite small, as is the bathroom, but they are clean and the bed was very comfortable. The B&B is several miles from Gort, but she gave us directions to several restaurants. We ate at Fields and it was very good.
Great location; nice room; good breakfast
The hosts were very friendly and helpful and made us feel like their friends. The full Irish breakfast was excellent. The lounge area was comfortable and had a large flat panel TV. The Kilmacduagh tower and monastery were located in view across the street from the B&B. The B&B was very clean and neat.
Nothing
Well located. Nice and charming house near the Burren. Josephine is very welcoming, helpful and easy going. We were delighted to meet her and her husband. They gave us tips and advices to find a restaurant and to have a wonderful time by the cliffs of Moher. The room is quiet and confortable with a view on the Burren. The breakfast was perfect as well. We were treated like Kings and we'll keep wonderful memories of our stay at Josephine's house. Thanks again. Cheers. Xavier and Tiphaine.
Nothing to declare.
Clean as a whistle and immaculately kept. Josephine is your classic Irish hostess with welcoming hospitality. Kind, thoughtful and hardworking woman.
Nothing
Lovely B&B, great view of tower ruins across the road. A 5 minute drive to the closest town, Gort, which had some lovely food spots. Breakfast was delightful, had a full Irish both mornings. Beds were very comfortable. Josephine was the most welcoming host! I was travelling alone and had my birthday morning at the B&B. Josephine made the morning so special, even put a candle in a croissant to celebrate. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Amazing views of the Burren :)
We booked this property on our way back to Rosslare. Our room was perfect with an E suit shower. Our first impression was that the property looked bright and clean because the huge garden was also immaculate.
There was absolutely nothing to complain about. Naomi was a delightful lady who was both friendly and caring and always treated us as if we were friends. She went to great trouble to make us feel really welcome. We had the Irish was delicious.
Josephine gave us a very warm welcome, also the breakfast was very good.
Perfect location for getting up the next morning and going to the cliffs of Mohr. There was an old Monastery across the street to explore and our hostess Josephine was lovely!!!! She made us breakfast to order before we left and great recommendations
Nothing
The location beside the monastic ruins was spectacular.
A nice, quiet, clean place with a wonderful location. Excellent breakfast and everything with the greatest care and atention. Will repeat for sure. El mejor sitio para alojarse al oeste de Irlanda.
A very warm welcome of Josephine our hostess who has taken time to help us during our stay A real and nice time of talks about places to go and discover (Cliffs of Moher, Burren National pac) A house placed in the front of one of the most important Irish Abbey of Kilmacduag
NS
The host was a really nice lady, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was really good, especially the irish breakfast. The ruins near the House are very impressive.
The bathroom was too small.
Great location. Josephine was extremely obliging and helpful with information. I would recommend a stay there.
The TV reception was poor and the host was going to fix it for us. We didn’t need it as we were going out for tea so it wasn’t necessary or a problem.
The host is amazing! The location is quiet and directly across the street from a historical site worth exploring
A bit out of town, not walkable to restaurants
Josephine is very friendly and accommodating. The room was great and it's a lovely location (near the round tower and a very short drive from the motorway). We will definitely stay here again.
Superb Irish breakfast
Nothing
Josephine has a passion for hospitality and takes pride in her exceptionally clean B and B. Rooms are a little small, but make little difference unless you're staying long term. It's excellent for a couple of nights. The breakfast is excellent, and the surrounding area is pristine and quiet (it's literally across from a cemetery - see pics - about 10 km to town). The host is absolutely engaging and caring and goes out of her way to make you feel at home. You could spend more, but why? Josephine makes you feel like family in her home and provides recommendations and a history of the area. We wished we could have stayed a little longer than one night.
The hostess tailored the breakfast according to our wishes. She was excellent and helpful at all times. They say "if you're Irish step into the parlour there's a welcome here for you" well we are not Irish but we were made very very welcome.
There was nothing "not to like"
Friendly hosts,very well informed about the local area,good conversation but enough space given for us to enjoy each others company while staying at Naomi Colman.Tea and coffee given on arrival,very comfortable bed...quiet pleasant location... lovely breakfast....overall a lovely visit.
