We stayed here on Oct 29th. It was a pleasant stay but didnt meet my expectations after reading the reviews here. The house is set away in the woods but dont come here if you are looking for any aspect or views of lakes, mountains or the sea. And really it is not in the heart of connemara, it is... More

We are up early and walking the grounds. Ross Lake Hotel is surrounded by lush Irish woodlands with a rushing river/stream along the drive in. The hosts, Elaine and Henry, met us at the door and made us feel at home. I cannot say enough good things about the hosts/owners. Henry sat us down with a map and helped us... More

The hotel is in a secluded area on beautiful grounds. We had the Lord Harding room with 4 poster bed. The room was elegant and comfortable. I could get wifi by by stepping a few feet out of the bedroom, and in the lounge. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and I was delighted to find... More

Made a mistake by thinking I was going to be staying in Galway, which it turned out to be a half hour away. Expecting the worst, we found the best, a beautifully furnished, and spacious room. A great location for exploring the Connemara district of Ireland. The meals, breakfast and dinner were superb, definitely gourmet quality. Highly recommended. More

A tad off the beaten track, this lovely manor house does not disappoint. Surrounded by spacious lawns and flower beds, each room is beautifully and comfortably appointed. Greeted with Irish hospitality by the owners, we were shown a very large room for our 2 night stay and dinner reservations were suggested. Dinner begins with appertifs in the bar, followed by...

My husband and I sent the Bank Holiday Weekend in this lovely hotel. From the moment we arrived we totally enjoyed our stay. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfortable. All bed linen, towels etc were snow white and excellent quality. Breakfast on both mornings was freshly cooked. I absolutely hate a buffet breakfast where... More

Ross Lake House and its charming hosts, Henry and Elaine, represent a style of accommodation and hospitality that is increasingly rare these days. The hotel and its grounds clearly have seen better days but the interior retains all the charm of a period country house. And guests are made to feel like guests, not customers. Henry presides over the front... More

My Wife and I spent one night at Ross Lake House. We found ourselves wishing we didn't have to leave. This small cozy property feels like home. Intimate space and an incredible staff. We had one of the best meals on our trip in the restaurant and breakfast in the morning was equally good. Highly recommend this property to anyone... More
