I just returned home after a weeks trip around the west of Ireland and had to share my experience of this beautiful hotel. We have now stayed here 4 times and on each occasion have been given a proper Irish welcome by the charming owners and local staff. If you want to experience a proper Irish Welcome look no further; as soon as we arrived afternoon tea was set up for us and we relaxed immdeiately.
The house is old but well cared for and very clean; our room (3 in the front of the house) was recently updated and very comfortable; food is excellent and ambiance that of a proper Irish Country House. Its location has to be one of the best of any i have stayed at, over looking the lake and completely issolated from modern life. We love it and shall return for our fifth visit!

Stayed in this place for one night in August. Room No 9. Thought the house was more shabby than charming, to be honest. Too much old chintz and the wallpaper on the main stairs is a head-wreck. All this however fades right into insignificance after my Bat Experience. Opened the window when arrived in the room. Had bath. Closed window before going down for dinner. When i came back up, someone had beenin to close the curtains. Fell asleep with a lamp on. At 3am, woke up suddenly. Lay there, wondering what had woken me. Opened eyes to see a big black bat hovering above my face. Folks, sorry to sound wimpish, but this was a horrible experience. Bolted into the corridor and left the door open, hoping it would fly out. i did consider ringing the bell in my room, but it was 3am and the place was totally silent and i would have felt bad about waking people up. i was all set to go and sleep on a couch in the living room when bat flew out - into the main house. Went back into the room and didn't sleep a wink for the rest of the night, for fear of a few bat friends hanging in the curtain drapes. i later discovered this part of Connemara is full of bats, which are a protected species. A truly horrible night. i won't be back

Everything about Currarevagh House says, "Come in, stay a while, feel at home here." The food is very good; the rooms are clean and comfortable, if not gorgeous; the public rooms are big, yet cozy; the owners and staff are just the best. You simply can't go wrong by staying at Currarevagh, unless, of course, you deny yourself more than an overnight.

Currarevagh House is, in my estimaton, one of the three or four absolute best places to stay in all of Ireland. The house itself is comfortable in a frumpy (said with great affection) sort of old slipper way. The rooms are cosy and very clean. The food is terrific. The ambience is that of genteel welcome. The grounds are lovely. The hosts are the best. That Currarevagh House provides easy access to all the attractions of Galway City and Connemara is an added bonus. I cannot imagine a trip to Ireland without a several day stay at Currevagh. i have recommended ths house to many friends and associates, all of whom have agreed with my assessment! Do yourself a favor!
