L'accueil.
Personal, friendly, professional, amazing scenery, easy to find, happy to share information, good communication beforehand, great food and service, responsive to any requests
Was all lovely Had hoped to swim in water opposite, but lots of suggestions given for where we could go instead
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour ! La maison de Sylvain et Mary est au calme avec une très belle vue, et idéale pour découvrir le Connemara sur quelques jours. Nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement, la chambre est très propre et très calme. Nous avons dîné les deux soirs sur place ce qui est très confortable après une journée de visite, et tout était délicieux. Le petit-déjeuner était également parfait. Merci pour tout !
Tranquillissima affacciata sulla baia,camera spaziosa e pulitissima.Colazione eccezzionale!

Úžasná lokalita a dokonalé ticho. Velmi milí majitelé, výborná snídaně, pokoj čistý a útulný.
Everything was perfect .the bed was comfy the room was spotless . Breakfast was delicious both mornings .Peaceful and quiet beyond words . Sylvan and Mary were great hosts and helped with directions and knowledge about the area and it felt like home from home.
Thst I had to leave!
Superbe B&B dans un cadre exceptionnel. Nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis par notre hôte, francophone, très sympathique et attentionné. Mention spéciale pour la cuisine maison, tout simplement exceptionnelle : tout était délicieux, avec notamment… les meilleurs œufs brouillés au monde ! 😋 Le B&B est situé dans un endroit très isolé, accessible par une petite route. Il faut donc en tenir compte si vous recherchez un emplacement très facile d'accès. En revanche, cette situation offre un environnement absolument magnifique et très calme, au bord de l'eau. Ici, pas de bruit de circulation : seulement les sons de la nature. Un véritable havre de paix, particulièrement reposant. Le logement est parfaitement conforme aux photos et à la description. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour et recommandons vivement cette adresse pour ceux qui recherchent calme, nature et authenticité.
rien !
Wonderful Place and great hosts.
La table était extra ! Un bon dîner à chaque fois en plus de la gentillesse de nos hôtes ! Merci beaucoup !!
Rien, tout était super !!
Remore location with amazing view! Very comfortable, good food and friendly owners.
La posizione
Location was amazing. Food prepared by hosts was fantastic too. Very quiet and relaxing stay in a scenic spot.
Road to property gets extremely narrow, can be difficult if other vehicles are met.
Owners are so friendly
Frukosten jättebra, likaså rummet.
Ligger väldigt isolerat, det finns ingenting i närheten. Middag kan ordnas om man beställer en dag i förväg, annars är Roundstone närmaste plats att äta.
Accueil, gentillesse de Mary and Sylvain, propreté , cuisine excellente (petit-déjeuner et repas du soir ), situation géographique
Manque un sèche-cheveux
The location beside the seashore was out of this world. The hosts were charming and delightful. The breakfasts were very good; the evening meals they cooked were absolutely excellent.
It was a beautiful place and relaxing. The ocean and mountains are right there.
It was in the middle of nowhere.
Een oase van rust in 'the middel of nowhere' met een fantastisch zicht op het water. We kozen bewust deze afgelegen B&B om enkele dagen tot rust te komen. Ook heel fijn dat je ter plaatse ook kunt genieten van een heerlijk avondmaal en de mogelijkheid om een lunchpakket mee te nemen voor een dag uitstap/wandeling. Naast een ruime kamer is er ook een aparte gezellinge zithoek voor de gasten Dit alles aan heel democratische prijzen
nvt
This is a wonderful B&B in an extremely peaceful location with amazing views over the sea. The hosts are very welcoming, and also great chefs! Their full Irish breakfasts are excellent. Their evening meals even better! The hosts are proud to promote their meals, and rightly so. They are of exceptional quality and provide very good value for money. This is a really lovely place to stay if you are looking for something off the beaten track.
Tolles Zimmer, super sauber, ruhig und komfortabel. Sehr gutes Frühstück und Dinner.
De badkamer, ontbijt en vriendelijke mensen!
De ligging is heel ver van de bewoonde wereld en er zijn haast geen wandelingen vertrekkend van de B&B
L'ensemble, l'accueil, le lieu, la disponibilite, le confort.
Muy bueno.el.desayuno y la ubicación hermosa con vistas al mar.
This B&B was one of the nicest B&Bs we have stayed in. The room itself was very clean and fresh and provided everything we could have needed. The location is stunning and the hosts are not only lovely people but are also food lovers who are fabulous cooks. You can pre-order dinner and I highly recommend that you do. Our dinners were the best meals we had on our travels, and the included breakfast was top notch, with local and many organic ingredients. I truly rate it as one of the best!
Nothing at all!
The staff and food were excellent and location was beautiful
Everything dinner and breakfast was 10 out of 10
Sylvain et Marie sont très agréables et très réceptif,en plus pour nous c'était top car Sylvain est Français donc pas de barrière de langue.tout était super .
Noch nie hatten wir eine solche in jeder Beziehung perfekte Unterkunft. Das Haus wurde speziell als B&B Unterkunft konzipiert und das wird überall deutlich! Auch das Ehepaar mit seiner super Küche muss extra erwähnt werden.
Mir fällt nichts ein
The house was fantastic, the room very spacious, and both the bed and the pillows were comfortable. The room also had a private bathroom, which was very clean. They provide towels and a hairdryer as well. The house is located in a beautiful area of Connemara. It’s like a small peninsula stretching out into the ocean. The roads leading there are very narrow, but that’s typical of western Ireland. By driving slowly, you can reach it easily - we had no difficulties at all. The B&B is also well signposted along the road. But the best part of the place is definitely the breakfast. The food is excellent, you can order dishes à la carte, and the staff are very kind and attentive. Everything we ate was delicious. It’s hard to find such a well-prepared breakfast in a B&B nowadays. The lodge is also very quiet, and in the outside garden there is a table with benches where you can relax peacefully. We would absolutely recommend everyone to stay at this property - it’s truly fantastic and offers excellent value for money.
Mary und Silvain sind wundervolle Gastgeber. Die Lage ist traumhaft und die abendlichen Dinner sind lecker und absolut zu empfehlen.
Gemütliches B&B mit traumhaften Ausblick, Frühstück und Abendessen hervorragend, etwas außerhalb, aber eine von den besten Unterkünften in denen ich bis jetzt in Irland war.
War alles super.
Malownicze miejsce oraz przemili gospodarze! Pyszne śniadania robione na świeżo. Co więcej, spacer po okolicy był cudowny ☺️
Sehr nette Gastleute, gutes Frühstück, schönes Zimmer, außergewöhnliche Lage. Auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen!
Exceptional food and friendly service. We selected based on location and price so the very high quality of food offered was a great bonus!
L’emplacement au milieu des lacs du connemara
View from the room, cleanness, decoration and breakfast
Très très bien
Bien situé au pied des routes du Connemara. Si vous aimez être dans la tranquillité, c'est vraiment le bon endroit. Vous aurez cette impression d'être seul au monde, d'être au milieu de nulle part, mais vous saurez que vous êtes en Irlande. Couple très sympathique de franco/Irlandais. Un breakfast traditionnel Irlandais bien copieux. Chambre très spacieuse pour un couple avec un enfant. Tres confortable. On y reviendra. Merci beaucoup pour l'accueil.
Tout était parfait.
Sehr familiäre Atmosphäre, toller Ausblick, Strom vom Dach und nachhaltige Denkweise . Das Bett war sehr bequem das Bad geräumig und das Frühstück und Dinner sehr lecker. Jeden Morgen Sonnenaufgang am Wasser ♥️
Leider haben die Handtücher etwas gebraucht um zu trocknen und ein bisschen eigen gerochen. Sonst alles wirklich toll.
Aussicht war schön. Personal sehr nett. Frühstück lecker.
Das Bett war zu hart
This house and the hosts are really out of the world. The place is sooo quiet and the view is just beautiful. It was a perfect getaway. I also loved the food - breakfasts and dinners were delicious and plenty.
Die ruhige Lage war wunderbar. Nochmehr aber die Herzlichkeit und Gastfreundlichkeit mit der wir in Empfang genommen und begleitet wurden.
Frühstück in toller Auswahl und Qualität, wunderbare, ruhige Lage und sehr zuvorkommende Gastgeber.
Nous avons tout aimé! Le site, les hôtes, les petits déjeuners, les randonnées! C'était un moment à part, de sérennité et de bienveillance! Unique.
Nice quiet location with waterview. Comfortable room. Good irish full breakfast.

L'environnement, le calme, la nature
Le repas du soir pourrait être plus convivial
La maison est située en plein Connemara. De nuit, on a l’impression d’arriver au bout du bout. De jour, c’est un paysage magnifique qui s’offre à vous. Les hôtes sont charmants et font une cuisine délicieuse !
Muy bueno el desayuno casero preparado por los dueños
The house is set in an absolutely beautiful spot and is a perfect location to explore Conemarra. The room was clean, cosy and very comfortable. There was a great choice for breakfast with fresh eggs coming from the family's own hens. We were very satisfied with our stay in Rossroe Lodge.
Nothing ....really everything exceeded our expectations!
Siamo stati due notti ospiti presso Rossroe Lodge ed è stato tutto bellissimo. La struttura è nuova ed estremamente accogliente. Abbiamo ricevuto ottime colazioni, consigliamo anche vivamente di fermarsi a cena: pietanze ottime! I due proprietari sono stati gentili e premurosi. Speriamo di tornare un’altra volta a trovarli
Amazing location with really nice breakfast
Excellent breakfast!
Un trato maravilloso y un servicio excelente. Pendientes en todo momento y muy amables. Tuvimos suerte de alojarnos allí pues el lugar es precioso y es ideal si buscas unas vacaciones alejadas de la ciudad y perderte por Connemara. Gracias Mary and Silvayn.
Nada, todo fue excelente.
Tout était parfait et pensé pour que le visiteur ne manque de rien. La flexibilité horaire pour le petit déjeuner est très agréable, et j'ai beaucoup apprécié le fait de pouvoir dîner sur place le soir, plutôt que de repartir chercher un restaurant. Enfin, superbe environnement.
Rien
Sehr ruhig gelegen, sehr nette, zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Super emplacement proche du Connemara, pour un logement d'une immense qualité ! La vue sur le lac est superbe, l'endroit est calme et paisible, la chambre fonctionnelle et confortable, le petit-déjeuner est très bon et copieux, et les hôtes sont très gentils et attentionnés, je ne peux que recommander ! La qualité d'un hôtel en bien plus accessible
Rien à dire, tout était parfait
Tout! Accueil chaleureux, emplacement, logement, petit déjeuner et diner
Excellent and delicious food, helpful and kind owners. We've stayed there before and would stay again.
Environnement magnifique, calme, chambre grande et confortable très bon accueil des propriétaires, très bon petit-déjeuner
les chambres que nous occupions étaient près du couloir de l'entrée et de la salle à manger, ce qui peut être un peu gênant mais rien de grave ..
Très bon emplacement, la beauté captivante du Connemara, le calme des lieux , Très bon accueil de Mary et Sylvain; Les hôtes pour un séjour ressourçant et reposant, Super petit déjeuner, des bons conseils, tout pour un très agréable séjour .
L’hospitalité, le lieu, le confort des équipements, le petit déjeuner et la possibilité de dîner sur place
Rien du tout
Die Lage war top. Wir hatten einen schönen Blick auf das Meer und das Zimmer war sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Frühstück und Abendessen sehr lecker.

Très belle étape dans le Connemara. Le B&B est situé en face d'une petite baie en pleine nature. Nous avons été très bien reçu par Sylvain, qui, en étant originaire de France, a bien discuté avec nous et nous a conseillé un très bon restaurant proche du B&B. Nous avons bénéficié d'une belle chambre, spacieuse, conforme aux photos, avec un très bon lit et une superbe vue sur la baie. Le chemin d'accès est étroit, mais l'environnement du B&B vaut vraiment le détour. Sylvain et Mary proposent des repas du soir qui sont des recettes locales, et qui sont très bonnes. Nous l'avons apprécié le premier soir de notre arrivée. Le petit déjeuner est lui aussi copieux et de qualité. Notre tour d'Irlande a bien commencé au Rossroe Lodge B&B. Nous conseillons cette adresse.
Nous aurions apprécié de pouvoir plus discuter avec Mary, mais il y avait la barrière de la langue. Sinon, rien à redire...
L'accueil chaleureux de nos hôtes, les dîners préparés par le monsieur, cuisiner de métier et les petits déjeuners bien servis. Le tout avec des produits frais locaux. Nous nous sentions comme chez nous dans cette maison confortable en pleine nature du Connemara, avec une vue imprenable. Propreté impeccable. Tout était parfait ! Pour sûr, nous reviendrons !

Great location and views, lovely hosts, really tasty breakfast and dinner. We had a great time here.
Wonderful place to stay during our visit to Conamara. Very peaceful and the breakfasts were marvelous.
The showers were very low flow, good for washing off but not so much for washing long hair.
Everything. A lovely B & B in the countryside by a lake. Sylvain & Mary are wonderful generous hosts. They provided a laundry service which was very well priced. Breakfast was superb. You can choose to have dinner there which we did for 1 or our 2 nights. It was superb home cooking & again very reasonably priced. Highly recommend
Nothing
The owners are very friendly and helpful. They provide a great variety of breakfast options and even a dinner menu, something you wouldn't necessarily expect at a B&B. The room was nice and large with a stunning view. The house is situated in the middle of the National Park in a stunning landscape. It's very quiet and lonly and a great place to enjoy nature.
The stunning location, the cozy room, the amazing and very tasty food, the lovely hosts, everything was absolutely perfect !! I highly recommend this place !!
Rossroe Lodge B&B offers an exceptional retreat in Connemara. From the delicious breakfasts and outstanding hosts to the warm atmosphere and stunning views of the surroundings, every aspect contributes to a truly memorable and relaxing stay. It's a highly recommended gem!
Was there for a short trip as my daughter was in the gaeltacht nearby
It is hard to list all the things we liked. This is the perfect example of what a hidden gem means. Sylvain and Mary were excellent hosts, as they are wonderful people. Their home is the perfect getaway spot for those who want to escape the world. The room was spacious and comfortable. The house is well-insulated and spotless, and the hosts are food enthusiasts, which was evident at breakfast and dinner, as a dinner option is available. We strongly recommend trying any of their food. There is hardly any place in the county or perhaps in the country that will serve you tastier food than theirs. And all their food is locally sourced. Please let them know in advance if you have any food allergies or special dietary requirements, as they will do their best to accommodate your needs, just like they did with us.
There is nothing we can list here. This is a remote location, so you wouldn't go there unless it were your destination. The roads are narrow, but this is more of a warning than a complaint. Also, they do have an EV charger, but it was not working at the time, but we were offered to charge our EV with their granny charger. We went prepared, so we didn't need to charge our car. All in all, we can't say anything we didn't like.
All the food was great and good value for money.
No dislikes.
Sylvain and Mary were great hosts, very welcoming and friendly. There was no issue when we requested an earlier breakfast to attend the Tour de Connemara . The breakfasts were excellent, every thing was freshly prepared and served hot.
Nothing .
Lovely comfortable bed and great breakfast
N/a
Perfect location, extremely quiet yet not far from Clifden (30 min), Connemara NP visitor centre or Kylemore. Super comfy room and proper building and facilities maintenance. Nice dinner proposal. Friendly owners.
Friendly host. Excellent food.
A little remote with narrow roads leading up to it
The nature was overwhelmingly astonishing. I have never seen and experienced so much natural beauty. The house is thoughtfully constructed so to enjoy the best views (dawn is amazing) and be as sustainable as possible. The views inside the house feel unreal, as if they were beautiful screensavers from my computer. The meals are delicious and the breakfast includes fresh eggs from their own hen coop. Full Irish breakfast is better than any other restaurant and the salmon with scrambled is made to perfection. There is nothing we didn’t like, expect that it’s a bit far from any convenience shops. But we were glad to be away from people and infrastructure.
It was close to perfect given the price! The hosts are super-nice, the location is great with lots of places to explore, but you will need a car to get around
Amazing located B&B which was super clean,well furnished, quiet and had the most comfortable beds ever! The Host were really helpful with everything and even more.Breakfast was fabulous with coffee/tea We definitelly come back again and we will staying here. Absolutely fantastic place. Best breakfast I’ve ever had. Gorgeous food, beautifully presented by the most charming host.
