Guest Reviews
- Caroline (10/5): - Beautiful sea view lovely room
- Michele (10/5): Blissful… - The sea side view was absolute bliss. And a big thank you to Liam and Josh - such lovely lads. We will be back.
- Lorra (10/5): - Screebe House is a beautifully peaceful getaway. We had a gorgeous view of the water. At night looking across the water was very little light. It was so peaceful. The food was very good with great portion size. Breakfast was included with a small buffet plus a made to order hot option. Dinner was a 2 or 3 course choice. I did an appetizer and main and walked away full and satisfied. The second evening we let them know that we were exploring and went to Kylemore Abbey and the Clifdon. We did not use the spa or pool but we did check out the pool and it was in a lovely spot (indoor and saltwater) we did go down to the pier and dipped our toes into the cold sea. There is a ladder for those adventurous ones who want to swim. I would definitely recommend the Screebe House to anyone looking to get away from it all. My only complaint is no air conditioning- but that is only because we come from an area that everything is air conditioned. But I would go back in a heartbeat!
- Sandrine (10/5): Un hôtel de charme dans un superbe environnement - Une résidence familiale, dans un environnement enchanteur. La décoration des chambres et des salons est de très bon goût et le personnel prévenant.
- Lathrice (8/5): - Very remote with beautiful landscapes.
- Barney (10/5): - Lovely family run hotel with wonderful views and high quality cuisine. Surrounding area is beautiful. Recommend.
- Stephanie (10/5): - What a great and tranquil place to be in. The staffs are incredible friendly and helpful. The dinner and breakfast are just wonderfully prepared. Highly recommend.
- david (8/5): - unique location and friendly staff
- Adam (10/5): - Beautiful location along the bay. All of the staff were so nice and easy to talk to. The food was amazing.
- Kate (8/5): - Loved the dinner, views, sauna and swims from the pier. Would have been lovely to have some walks directly from the hotel, but you had to drive everywhere unfortunately. There were woods to the side of the hotel, but no real pathways through.
- Sharon Katherine (8/5): - Great place! Friendly and helpful staff. Great Food!
- Maureen (10/5): - My third stay at Screebe House and once again my stay was delightful. The staff is so kind and will do o anything to help. Of course I will be going back next year.
- Nicole (10/5): - Amazing
- Francis (8/5): - It's a fabulous place in a beautiful setting. The food in their restaurant is great and the staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The only reason I gave less than five stars on property condition is because the rooms don't have temperature controls or even fans to move air. Furthermore, the windows don't have screens so they don't want you to open them and let the midges in. Maybe it was just our room. That said, I would certainly stay here again. It's a very well kept and we'll staffed place in a unique setting right on the water.
- Kevin (10/5): - By far, this was one of the most beautiful and well-managed places we have ever stayed.
- Michael (10/5): - Very welcoming Staff! Picturesque location with views of the Atlantic from our room! Spa facilities were great too. Salt water swimming pool is warm and comfortable to swim in, as well as the use of the sauna and steam room, there are some nice walking spots around the property too and coral beaches only a 10 min drive away. Would highly recommend to anyone passing or driving the coastal route to/from Clifden to stop by as you won’t be disappointed!
- David (4/5): - It has been about 8 months since I stayed at the Screebe in the priciest seaview room. This place could be better. The most unpleasant experience was that our room washcloths were "made" by cutting old towels down to size with two sides of the cloth just frayed. It was very odd, but it seemed wrong. I saw a maid working in another room wash out and hand dry a drinking glass with one of the hand towels. The hardware for the shower was broken... feeble would be a better word. We stayed in March and it took several tries to get heat sent to the room on the first night. The coffee service is in a hallway landing and it is a very loud Keurig machine, so we got to hear everyone making coffee in the morning. The spa towels were tired, brown, with the embroidered girdles shrinking signifying their age. The hot tub was nice, but its all hands-on to remove the cover. Not something that a senior person can do alone. Lastly the dinner was superb on both evenings, but the breakfast was inconsistent and on both days, my order which was to be two eggs was just one... the smaller of the options. the buffet meat looked a little bit like it came from a LIDL packet of meats and wasn't exactly abundant (which is ok considering the small number served), and all the plates were from Ikea... a place like this speaks to more authenticity. The staff was very amiable though. All that I mention are easily improved. Otherwise excellent place.
- Karen (10/5): - All amazing. Could spend a week there!
- Lisa (10/5): - Stunning property in Connemara. A bit remote but that’s the charm. Ursula will take good care of you!
- Karen (10/5): - Have to say our booking was last minute due to lack of availability in Galway, but SO glad we did it! Ursula, the owner was amazing! We got in late, we were tired and frazzled, but she managed to get us settled and made to feel welcomed & comfortable immediately! Would highly recommend!
- Timothy (10/5): The Screebe! - A joyous experience with a wonderful staff. Stayed in Room 4 and the history made it that much more interesting. We will surely book again on our next adventures to Ireland.
- angela (10/5): Perfect - We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Screebe House - the staff were excellent, they really make you feel at home. We will definitely return
- LIne (10/5): Un séjour charmant à Screebe house - Un havre de paix dans un environnement époustouflant Lit et literie de grands conforts Un charmant manoir
- Barrington (8/5): - We booked a suite for a two night stay thinking it would probably have a view of the sea, but no just overlooked the swimming pool roof. A notice on the room wall advisers to keep the bedroom windows shut due to midges but rather than put up notices it would have been preferable to install insect screens especially as there's no air conditioning. The emperor sized bed was overly soft and two single duvets kept falling off. It was explained that in Germany two single duvets on a double bed are the norm !! Very uncomfortable sleep. Despite being a suite, there was no television or charging point for a razor/shaver. Evening meal and breakfast most enjoyable.
- Maureen (10/5): - Gorgeous property with excellent service. We really enjoyed our stay and the dining is top notch.
- LOUIS (10/5): - Very tranquil and peaceful setting. The staff could not have been more friendly or accommodating. Quaint rooms, very quiet, and very clean.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful stay - We really enjoyed our stay. The food and service (shout out to Orla!) were fantastic. Thanks so much!
- Laura (10/5): - Our stay at Screebe House was incredible. The staff were warm and welcoming, the property, gardens, and estate I would describe as elevated classic country house style with hunting and fishing themes. The house is situated on the water near the Connemara area with views of the swans and lovely landscape. The restaurant and bar provided a 5 star and personal service experience. The dinner and breakfast were exceptional! Although all of the other guests were adults, my 13 year old daughter was provided with attentive service and consideration for her needs during our stay. The beds and duvets were dreamy. The pool and spa experience were included with our stay. This was one of our highlight stays while on a 2 week driving trip in Ireland. I cannot recommend Screebe House enough.
- Roisin (10/5): - Wonderful spot. We will be back!
- MARTA (10/5): - Abbiamo soggiornato una notte in questa splendida proprietà dal grande fascino. Staff giovane e cortese. Cibo eccellente. Una bellissima esperienza.
- Leah (10/5): - Great place to stay with good food and service.
- Jessica (10/5): - Wow! Pretty much the best place I’ve ever stayed! If you want to stay in a ten room cottage on the water in the Irish country side where you can warm by a fire while eating a five star dinner than this is for you. The room looked like it was out of Bridgerton. Julian, the restaurant manager, made us feel like family and I hope to keep coming back
- Verified traveler (2/5): Disaster - We were in a ground floor bedroom and the staff had a party and played loud music until 4am! We were not advised this would happen on check in or when we made our booking! The indoor salt water pool is not heated as advertised!!!! The spa / pool area was not cleaned either day that we were there. Wet towels were left everywhere.
- martin (10/5): Location - Amazing location
- Darren (8/5): Almost there - Beautiful setting and lovely rooms. Missing some of the finesse that might be expected with a hotel of this kind. For example, a soaking towel left outside the spa for days left an impression of a lack of care. We had to ask the staff for the breakfast specials (French toast with bacon, which was really not very special at all), but the regular breakfast was great. Dinner was also fantastic. It would have been nice to be able to enjoy a post-dinner drink, but downdraft from the chimney filled the reception and drawing room with smoke both evenings, which made that a non-event. Appreciate there are difficulties with resources etc., in these times, but that isn't reflected in prices that guests are expected to pay, and small improvements would go a long way to improving the overall experience.
- Frédéric (10/5): Séjour reposant au cœur du Conemara - Établissement bien situé au centre du Conémara pour pouvoir l'explorer dans toutes les directions. Calme au bord d'une étendue d'eau communiquant avec l'océan, donc avec de marées qui changent le paysage et les couleurs. Personnel très à l'écoute et excellent restaurant sur place
- Caroline (10/5): Caroline - Beautiful country house hotel with full leisure facilities and also very easy access to sea swimming in the grounds of hotel. Great food with eccellent presentation. Would highly recommend for a quiet stay away in a scenic location with friendly staff
- Maurice (10/5): Exceptional service - Beautiful location,food was of an excellent standard and service was very good I would highly recommend for a couples get away
- Tim (10/5): - The staff and owner have been so gracious and kind. I injured me knee a and they helped me with my luggage, provided special help, alerted the staff and made this a great experience. My wife and I were made to feel like royalty! No need to go to Downton Abbey come here!!
- Brian (10/5): Romantic getaway - Amazing place, excellent location, can’t thank everybody enough for a beautiful stay . The Pool, the Bed, breakfast, the Spa everything I cannot fault
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The location is beautiful, quiet and an amazing view, day and night with the sky filled with stars in the evening.
- Chyrelle (10/5): - Not close to much but beautiful location. The staff was wonderful. Food was quite good.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Très belle propriété au bord de l'eau, très English like avec bar et tea room très cosy, Tea time délicieux, propriétaire adorable, restaurant délicieux. Un bémol: literie à revoir. Pas d’ascenseur ce qui peut poser un problème pour les personnes âgées.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful, private ,heaven on earth . Lovely landscaping, rhododendrons galore , stone walls everywhere. The chef and team do e beautiful job with the cuisine, especially seafood and exquisite Irish lamb . Warm and wonderfully welcoming .
- Laura (10/5): Fantastic Connemara Hotel! - I truly cannot say enough good things about our stay at Screebe House. The host was so fantastic - she upgraded us upon check in because she saw we were a family and was so welcoming and warm. The room was so comfortable, and the location of the hotel is beautiful. We had dinner there as well, and the food and service was great. Everyone was very nice! We would absolutely stay again!
- Grace (10/5): Wonderful stay!! Wish we could go back! - Incredible stay at Screebe House! Excellent food, great fishing, very kind staff and beautiful hotel.
- Graziella (10/5): - Wonderful location and excellent house The house’style and the manager mrs Ursula assure a perfect stay.
- Diane (10/5): Amazing hotel that feels like home. - As soon as you enter Screebe house you feel at home. Beautifully furnished, it has a very comfortable feel about it and the welcome by the staff couldn’t be warmer. The food - all locally sourced and fresh - is superb, especially the breakfasts! Our room was immaculate, bright, and very comfortable. We had a view over the water which was a stunning. We used the leisure facilities. The pool is lovely with glass all round to make the most of the views. The staff deserve a special mention, Ursula and her team work hard to give you a very special stay. They were the highlight of our time here.
- Leslie (10/5): - Waterfront, beautifully appointed rooms, incredible staff, amazing food
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great landscape - Lovely hotel, extra plus that it's adults only. Rooms need a bit of TLC and definitely block out curtains. Good restaurant with good service altogether. The "spa" needs some extra thought.
- elizabeth (10/5): Relaxing and scenic get away - We loved this inn and would definitely come back. It is like a little piece of paradise. A little hard to find (our GPS didn't register the name and it really is in the middle of nowhere but that only adds to the charm. Killian warmly greeted us when we arrived and there was a fire burning to warm the air. The only negative for us (seniors) was that our room was on the top floor, but no problem --Killian to the rescue -- and our bags were taken to our room. Food was superb, spa treatments were first rate, room accommodations first class, heated bathroom floors -- we were in heaven. And the view is just beautiful, overlooking the lake -- very scenic.
- Daune (10/5): A gem in beautiful peaceful location. - We had a wonderful two nights at Screebe House and enjoyed every moment. The location is absolutely beautiful, peaceful and serene. The hospitality and the food was of a very high standard. There were comfortable and enticing spaces to relax after a day's sight-seeing in the nearby localities. We left refreshed & relaxed & wishing we could stay longer.
- Allie (10/5): In a word....AMAZING!!! - Attention to detail, accommodation, setting...this is such an outstanding place to spend time. The staff, food, accommodation (including heated bathroom floors) and every aspect of Screebe are six star!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Screebe House - A fantastic stay! Could not have asked for more.
- Virginia (10/5): Restful, Beautiful and Comfortable - After traveling all over Ireland, we finished our holiday at Screeb House in beautiful Connemara. The location, the house, the staff, the amenities, the food, the libations were exceptional. We relaxed and enjoyed our last few days completely satisfied and at ease.
- Simon (10/5): Delightful - Delightful house, grounds and staff. Well worth finding. Only small grumble was about the choice of the beautiful cooked and presented dinner - the choice was limited and didn't really change for our two nights. Breakfasts were excellent and freshly made. Do goto Letterfrack and to the Connemara national park, choose one of the three routes (easy, bit longer, proper but safe climb) around or up Diamond hill. Views are stunning even on the lower route but especially at the top after a good, safe but quite steep climb along clear path/steps. In all a real treat!
- John (10/5): Stunning country house, ideal for short getaways - We had a really great weekend in this country house. With only 10 bedrooms it is very friendly and homely, stunning food and the views are wonderful
