- Justine (10/5): A magical and timeless stay. - Everything was absolutely wonderful. The setting was stunning, and the view from the room was simply beautiful. This was probably one of the most beautiful rooms we have ever stayed in! The breakfast was excellent, Irish-style, with the kind of savoury food we love and are used to having at home, so it was perfect for us. The location is also very convenient, close to the town centre where there are several restaurants, including Powers Pub, which is very good and which we highly recommend. And of course, we would also like to mention the host’s kindness , she was exceptionally kind, always helpful, always available, and we had several lovely conversations with her. Everything was truly excellent, and we thank her very much. Absolutely nothing.

- Clémence (10/5): - Maison magnifique en bord de lac dans un endroit au calme, et bien situé pour visiter le parc du Connemara. Nous avons été très bien accueillies et avons passé un très bon séjour
- FlyAtNight (10/5): Best stays of our 2 week trip - Our two nights at the Waterfront Country House were by far, the best of our two week stay in Ireland and Northern Ireland. I wish we had booked another night or two. Our room overlooking the water was tastefully appointed, clean, comfortable and quiet. Our host, Mary, served us delicious breakfasts each morning. Mary went out of her way to offer suggestions, directions, maps and brochures for our day. If we are fortunate enough to return to Ireland, this is where we will be staying. Thank you Mary, from Canada.
- Mary Ellen (10/5): - Great Location in beautiful Connemara!! Mary is the ultimate Irish hostess💚💚 would definitely recommend this to other travelers.
- alice (9/5): On se sent comme chez soi, excellent accueil, très bel emplacement. - L’irish breakfast, le meilleur et plus copieux de tout notre voyage.
L’accueil, au petit soin, de très bons conseils pour visiter les environs et pour aller manger le soir.
La vue sur le lac et la tranquillité Isolation phonique pas excellente, on perçoit un peu l’activité dans la maison, mais normal pour une maison de ce genre. Et critère bien secondaire.
- Anders (4/5): - X
- Julian (9/5): - Direkt am See gelegen.
Mary war eine sehr nette Gastgeberin.
Das Zimmer war geräumig und wir hatten Blick aufs Wasser.
Frühstück war auch super. Ohne Auto etwas abgelegen.
Sehr hellhöriges Haus.
- Amit (9/5): Nice and comfy - It was nice trip, host Mary was very helpful and always available. Made us a wonderful breakfast and facilities were also very good. Its in close proximity of clifden so highly recommended to visit and stay.
- Joanna (9/5): - L'emplacement du cottage, Mary très accueillante et au petit soin Le petit déjeuner tardif commence à 8h.
- nathalie (10/5): 2 jours dans le Connemara avec ce point de chute pour dormir - La situation, le confort et l accueil Rien

- Mörstedt (9/5): -
- joel (9/5): B&B très confortable face au lac - La gentillesse et la prévenance de Mary
Le lieu magique face au lac Le prix est un peu excessif
- Krocans (10/5): -
- Jan (8/5): - Ruhige Lage am See (wenn man mit Auto da ist), Frühstück landestypisch, dazu kleines Buffet, schöne Gemeinschaftslounge, viele Infos über Ausflugsziele und tolle Tips von der Vermieterin zum Abendessen Ausstattung etwas älter, Bad ziemlich klein und hellhörig,
macht man das Licht im Bad an --> blendet es durch eine Milchglasscheibe ins Bett
Duschkabine eher für "schmale" Menschen geeignet
- Natacha (10/5): -
- Hannah (10/5): - Nice area, half an hour away from Galway.
The owner let us know where best to park when going to Galway. The breakfast was great. We had a lovely stay!
- Mulder38 (7/5): - Petit déjeuner
Le paysage en face du b&b
- Janet (8/5): Very nice stay - Quiet area, nice size room, very good breakfast and friendly host with helpful advice. Would have been nice if the heating was on and it was very wet outside and our clothes felt damp.
- RobBelmont (7/5): Lovely setting, we enjoyed it - Setting and host were wonderful Bed was too small
- Caroline (8/5): Au calme - La localisation du lieu, très calme face au lac.
Ville idéale pour rayonner dans le Connemara. N utilisant pas Google map, il nous a été difficile de trouver le b&b.
La logeuse, Mary, est énergique et un tantinet militaire.
- Luca (9/5): Bel soggiorno in riva ala lago - posizione tranquilla in riva al lago, colazione, cortesia e disponibilità della proprietaria camera un po’ piccola per tre persone
- Sandra (10/5): A relaxing place to come back to at the end of the day. - Mary was very welcoming which made for a relaxing stay. She was very knowledgeable of the area and offered to help with our travel plans and suggesting places of interest and drives. Breakfast was an added bonus and tasty too.
- sara (8/5): Posto da favola - La persona che lo gestisce è stata gentilissima, la vista è spettacolare, la camera molto accogliente Bisognerebbe essere un po’ più precisi con l’orario del check-in
- Kotowska (10/5): Excellent - Beautifully situated on the lake shore. Clean and cozy rooms, delicious breakfast.
- Sara (10/5): - Tutto ottima la colazione Nulla
- Eliana (8/5): -
- Sean (8/5): -
- Ludivine (8/5): Calme à la campagne - Vue sur le lac

- Christian (9/5): -
- Elodie (7/5): - Notre hôte était super gentille et de très bon conseil Notre chambre était 1 peu petite pour 3, ainsi que la salle de bain.

- Christine (9/5): -
- Stefan (10/5): Eine Woche Traumurlaub. - Der Aufenthalt war außergewöhnlich schön. Die Lage war ruhig und das Zimmer hübsch eingerichtet. Die Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich und ihre Ortskenntnis hilfreich. Das Frühstück war sehr vielfältig und lecker. Es gibt vor dem Haus eine schöne private Badestelle am See.
- James (8/5): - The view is gorgeous around the property. The breakfast was well done, filling and protein packed. We found the mattress to be well worn and hard for our liking. A comfortable bed is a big deal to us now that we’re getting older.
- Tamara (8/5): - Die Straße wurde immer schmaler und schien ins nirgendwo zu führen. Sie brachte uns zu einem idyllisch gelegenen B&B mit netter Herbergsmutter.
Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt. Das Frühstück war lecker und ausreichend.
- Sonia (10/5): - Voglio ringraziare la signora Mary per l'ospitalità che ci ha dimostrato durante il nostro soggiorno. Eccellente host, ci ha preparato delle colazioni deliziose e dato moltissime informazioni per le nostre escursioni. Accurata anche la pulizia delle stanze e dei locali comuni. Davvero la migliore esperienza tra i vari b&b che abbiamo provato durante la nostra vacanza in Irlanda 💖
- Lawrence (10/5): Nice facility in a great location. Host was very helpful - Nice room with a great view over the lake. A five minute drive from the village and very quite. A great breakfast that was traditional Irish but not too large. The host was very helpful. shower entry was tight and would be challenging for a larger person but otherwise great.
- Nicolas (8/5): Very good -
- Andrew (10/5): - The property is in a good, safe location. It is clean, well-kept, and Mary is very nice. I have nothing negative to share about the property. I plan to go back numerous times if I am able.
- Gisela (9/5): Superb -
- Simon (7/5): Beautiful location, restful surroundings - Very good breakfast. No tea/ coffee in room and lack of flexibility for breakfast time
- Lizzeg (10/5): A hidden gem. - What a hidden gem! A true bed and breakfast. The grounds are beautiful. Mary was so friendly and helpful. The room was simple but just what we needed. Breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect for us - between city of Galway and Connemara sites. It is 3 minutes from a great castle to visit. The little town also had 2 amazing restaurants - Powers Thatch and Connemara Greenway cafe and restaurant. We would definitely stay again!

Our host was a great source of information and made us feel welcome.

I have added a photo of the bread that was provided with our cooked breakfast, this was alongside bacon, sausages and egg and tomato. We enjoyed our stay very much. Our beds were not as comfortable as we like and the pillows were quite firm and flat.
- C (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was lovely!

- Darren (10/5): Exceptional - Marie was a wonderful host who gave us a map and suggestions to make the most of our time in the Coonemara.
The Irish breakfast set us up for the day.
And a parting word of advice that we should not let the weather interrupt any of our plans in Ireland is something we will take with us wherever we go, beyond the shores Ireland.
This stay was an unexpected gem for us on our 3 week trip in Ireland Nothing
- Nemone (10/5): Beautiful and comfy - Mary was a wonderful host.
The location was superb.
Breakfast was lovely too. Nothing
- Veronica (6/5): Pleasant - We booked this when our initial accommodation fell through. It was adequate for our needs. The towels and bedding smelled musty/mouldy. Mary gave us new towels when we mentioned it, but they were the same.
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Mary the host was delightful and very helpful. Breakfast was lovely each morning. Would definitely recommend this to others. Loved everything about the facility.
- Michael (10/5): Definitely recommend - Lovely location, friendly hosts, great breakfast, and a well kept facility
- Jean (10/5): would love to go again. - amazing location and views,access to lively town with goojd amenities.secluded but access to main road to every local site.mary the owner was sympathegtic to our personal needs of being elderly ,one blind and all with mobility issues. nothing
- Daniel (4/5): - Very disappointed having stayed at other venues. The property was clean but so outdated and tired. Old blankets were used as bedding, no duvets. The en suite was very small and the shower cubicle I could never have used. I am not obese in any way. The tv had only two channels, BBC 1 and BBC 2. Sound was limited as you could hear people next door and upstairs. No tea or coffee making facilities. Full Irish breakfast did not include white or black pudding, mushrooms nor beans.
Having travelled for almost 3 hrs, we arrived at 14.55 only to be be told that check in was not until 16.00. We were told to go into the village for a coffee. I had not noticed any time to check in if there was one. I presumed it was 15.00.
We stayed only for one of the two nights booked and expect a refund of our second night.
- Matteo (4/5): - Lontana dalla strada principale, la signora dopo le 21 non voleva rumori molesti, con un bambino di 3 anni difficile, ti aspetta sveglia per vedere quando torni (ansiosa) camere che odoravano di muffa, moquette su tutta la casa, eviterei di tornarci
- Michael (9/5): Enjoyed the stay and would go back - Lovely fresh breakfast and peaceful location
- Karena (9/5): Superb - Mary made us feel very welcome. Excellent breakfast. Beautiful location.
- Jose (5/5): Passable - Views from the roon was amazing Breakfast, poor, industrial bakery
- Martina (8/5): Quiet Location - Lovely breakfast served at 8am or 9am. Very comfortable double bed and bedroom plenty big. Mary gave good information about where to go for dinner and what to do locally Beautiful location right beside the Lough.
- Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Location
- George (10/5): Exceptional -
- Valeria (10/5): Magical place - The view was stunning.
The breakfast was one the best things we ate during our holidays.
The kindness and care we received was simply unmatched! Nothing, everything was perfect!
- Timothy (10/5): - Mary took the very best care of us after long days of travel. For those looking for the perfectly sequestered getaway in County Galway, this is it!
- Clodagh (9/5): Superb -
- Alberto (9/5): Nice and warm place and staff - Nice staff and beautiful location. Warm welcome and excellent indications of the surroundings.
Good breakfast!
We arrived late and the lady prepared a rood for the dinner we brought. This is not a negative comment: just to consider that there is not 24 hrs reception and that you have to arrange arrive with the owners. I think it is normal having into account the familiar spirit of the place.
- Don (10/5): Exceptional - The location and owners are outstanding.
- Tom (9/5): Fantastic location and great hostess - The location and the host Small bed
- Roberto (8/5): proximity to the main attractions of County Galway - proximity and convenience to the Aran Islands, restaurants nearby Rooms and structure a little dated, in need of renovation
