El Personal és encantador i l’esmorzar és abundant i molt bo.
Cert grau de decadència; es nota que la instal·lació té uns anys, però malgrat això s’hi està molt bé.

In posizione tranquilla, ottima colazione e ospitalità
Ho trovato un ambiente accogliente e familiare. Ho apprezzato l’attenzione verso il cliente. Ci siamo sentiti coccolati.
Die beste Unterkunft unserer ganzen Rundreise und wir wollten gar nicht weg. Die Zimmer waren gemütlich, der Aufenthaltsraum lud zum verweilen ein und das Café ist ein Traum. Klasse Frühstück. Kontakt sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Toller Tipp fürs Abendessen. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Danke Caroline.
Accueil chaleureux, bon rapport qualité prix, la propreté, les draps, le petit déjeuner inclus dans un environnement très cosy
Les lits qui grinçaient
Hostitelka Caroline naprosto skvělá, milá a ochotná. Byli jsme naprosto spokojení.
Rooms were perfect for 6 of us. All en-suites/own bathroom per couple. Very comfortable. Perfect for staying near family locally. Breakfast was fabulous with lots of choice.. Quiet location, easy drive to local towns. Host, Caroline was great and very accommodating with times.
Can’t fault it at all. Great value and easy check in/check out.
Comfortable room and access to well equipped small kitchen, very welcoming host and good choices at breakfast - quiet location

Staff really nice. Room small but very clean... breakfast was good.
Just the room was very small. But overall the stay was very cozy with very friendly staff and food was good
Gordon’s Guesthouse is truly one of the best places we have chosen to stay while on any vacation including places within the US, Caroline is by far one of the best hosts ever and the breakfast every morning was spectacular along with the sleeping arrangements and your own bathroom and shower! Will definitely be back! ❤️
Nothing, perfection!
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Accommodation was spotless and extremely comfortable.. Couldnt ask for more, will definitely be back.. Would definitely recommend, if visiting the area🙂
Excellent- highly recommend
Bed was comfortable. Staff friendly
Separate bathroom, poor location out look very poor.
Caroline the host is wonderful, as are her staff. The guesthouse is nicely decorated and cozy. The rooms are comfortable - beds were comfortable too. Breakfast was delicious! Only drawback for us was the location, which I misunderstood to be in Loughrea, which is about 15 minutes away. Other than that, great find!
I was leaving too early to get it but Caroline kindly left a few things out for me which did the job.

Lovely, owner and staff
A lovely peaceful place. Very comfortable. I appreciated the little kitchen to make sandwiches etc.
Charming host, excellent breakfast.
Really loved staying here. Felt like staying with your favourite relatives. The warmest of welcomes and care. Breakfast was honestly incredible and the brown bread and pancakes are famous for a reason. Caroline even left some bread for us to make tea and toast when we got back from our late gig. We’ll be putting this top of our list anytime we are in the area. Lovely experience
Nothing worth noting
Comfortable, clean and warm. Caroline was fantastic to deal with
Great accommodations in this lovely small town. Host, Caroline, could not have been nicer. Excellent breakfast.
kind and genuine people. friendly vibe. parking space right on curb. comfy sitting/dining area with peat stove. tasty breakfast
cute but tiny bathroom was a bit difficult for an old guy to navigate
Caroline was a amazing host 5☆.
Great host, lovely comfortable room

What a gem! The hostess Caroline is such a lovely lady - helpful, warm and welcoming. Our room was so comfortable and cosy. Breakfast was absolutely delicious. The decor and artwork was beautiful also. Thanks for a really lovely stay.
This has been our second time staying at Gordon's. I cannot find one thing to fault. Caroline is a great hostess and the property is in an ideal location for us and always very clean
Nothing
Excellent host, very welcoming. Room was very comfortable. The use of the room downstairs with TV was an added bonus as to was the kitchen with tea/coffee making facilities, also a microwave. Milk, bread, butter, biscuits even cereal was available which were extremely appreciated. The breakfast was fantastic, great choice and excellent quality too. 10/10 doesn't do this place justice. Will definitely be returning in the future, many thanks for making our stay so enjoyable.

So very helpful and understanding
Very friendly and lovely cafe on site
Breakfast was very good. Host very friendly and accommodating
All of it
La Host estremamente accogliente! Colazione buonissima!! La struttura bella anche se devo essere sincera non c’era una grande attenzione alla pulizia!! La domenica mattina è stata divertente! Il locale si è riempito di gente del posto che veniva a fare colazione e erano tutti vestiti con maglie delle squadre di calcio gaelico preferito!! Come fossero “il vestito buono della domenica “!!
Colazione molto buona
Lovely, quiet and peaceful country area. Great food and Caroline and her staff were excellent. This was my second stay here.
Kamers op de eerste verdieping met elk een eigen badkamer. De eigenaresse was erg vriendelijk en het ontbijt sochtends beneden in het cafe. Smaakte goed. Hier kunnen ook lokale mensen eten wat het erg gezellig maakt. Bedden prima, evenals douche. Gedeelde woonkamer beneden en op de 1e een pantry voor koffie/ thee met andere kamers.
In het dorpje zelf is weinig te doen. Ligt aan de doorliggende weg, langsrijdend verkeer is daardoor wel goed te horen.
Petit déjeuné parfait, accueil trés symoa
La localisation éloignée de Loughrea pas assez bien expliquée
What we liked the most about Gordon's is the host's hospitality and kindness. We felt very welcomed and we were looked after so well. Caroline is an amazing host, who would not hesitate to go over and beyond to fulfilll our wishes. Breakfast was a great experience as well with such a variety, from full irish breakfast to sweet pancakes with maple syrup. Not to mention the coffee, one of the best coffee I have ever had, which was also organic and fairtrade! Caroline, from the bottom of our heart Jean-Marc and I, we truly want to say thank you for being so friendly and kind, for making us feel so at home and for all your generosity. We have enjoyed every minute of our stay in your place and we will definitely come again next time we travel to Ireland! All the best!
Absolutely nothing, we loved everything!
Breakfast was good. Beds were comfortable.
The location was less than desirable. We arrived on a Wednesday evening around 7, there was nothing open. Nothing. We'd missed the check in time and were scolded a bit for that. (I completely missed the mention of the 2 hour check in window in the ad). Though we managed the directions for the self checkin just fine, upon her arrival back at the b&b, the host made my son move the car because she said it parked too close to a flower box and the "children on bikes" might hit his car. Hahaha. What children? Where? The town is desolate. Was scolded for using a restroom that had been readied for someone else. However, there was no signage, so how was i supposed to know? Mold in the window seals and bathroom. Finally, the pictures on Airbnb are misleading. There is no castle. There are NO views of anything but run down car shops.
Very quirky little B&B. Wonderful host. Great breakfast.
Nothing
Breakfast was great, and I slept well. Staff where lovely.
The shower was a little fiddlely. But we were informed beforehand. In the big scheme of things, just a tiny issue.
Very charming clean place really nice staff lovely breakfast
How friendly was the staff quiet to sleep nice breakfast facilities with small kitchen all night
A lovely welcome, comfortable beds and the best breakfast. Cannot recommend highly enough if you're traveling in this part of Ireland.

Not one thing I can fault

The host interaction was quite appalling
I don't like that after providing a poor experience the host then wants an argument where facts are presented that are inaccurate The information provided by the host is at best misleading Avod this house and go elsewhere
The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. Caroline was the nicest person and gave us great recommendations on where to go in the area. And her breakfast was amazing! Loved staying here!
The breakfast was amazing
Had a great stay , Caroline and her staff were amazing and the breakfast was excellent! We all slept really well and the beds were so comfortable! Will be staying again soon!
Nothing to not like at all
Breakfast was wonderful. The staff were wonderful. The village was beautiful and close to places to visit. We will definitely stay here again in the future.
Missed a tv in room but not a deal breaker
Room a tad bit small for two. Ensuite likewise. But hostess, Caroline was very welcoming and friendly.
Their facilities is on point and their staffs are top notch. Our host, Caroline was very hospitable and welcoming.
None, that I can't think about.
Fantastic breakfast
Breakfast was great, location parking excellent, Caroline our host was friendly and very helpful helped as with our late checking and recommend a place to eat our first evening. Will stay again next year
If was all great just what we had hoped for there wasn’t anything to not like. Will visit again for the fair next year. Recommended by the locals which is always a good thing.
We had a lovely welcome from Caroline and she was warm and caring throughout our stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable and there was a little kitchen area with fridge, toaster and microwave we could use. The shower was great. Breakfast was wonderful and so was the service.
Nothing not to like.
Caroline was very friendly and all the staff were as well , cafe was very good
The bed
