Mary and Gerry are wonderful hosts - Mary made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. I had stayed there before with my family and was happy to make a return visit with friends. The location is perfect for exploring Connemara as well as for visiting Galway. The village of Oughterard is charming and within walking distance of the B&B if you wanted to leave the car behind for the night and go into town for dinner or a drink at the local pub, The Thatch. Mary is happy to make suggestions for trips around the area and her recommendations are always spot on!

The place was very clean and spacious, and had everything we needed! Eileen was also the best hostess, very caring and accommodating. She even left yummy treats for the night and morning. We would absolutely stay there again!
This was a great place to explore the surrounding areas.
This was a great place to explore the surrounding areas. It also has a castle in the area and an association with the film The Quiet Man. It is a friendly town with 2 supermarkets and a number of places to eat.

A cute small town with nice restaurants and cafes.
A cute small town with nice restaurants and cafes. A few nice shops. Nice place to stay I'd you're traveling around Connemara. It's about and hour to Kylemore Abby as well as to the ferry or airport that gets you to the Aran Islands. Definitely work a stop if you have some time. Powers is a wonderful pub and restaurant.

Good base for touring Connemara and Mayo. No meals in Hotel. We ate our evening meal at pub/restaurant across road from Hotel. I can't remember name but it had a thatched roof and food was excellent.

It is a small town with a village atmosphere.
It is a small town with a village atmosphere. It's not far from Galway city centre and as hotels can be pricey in the city I would strongly suggest travellers take a look at this as an alternative. The town is filled with pubs and eateries and places to stay. I stayed at the Connemara Lake Hotel, right in the centre of the town and rate it highly. As a solo traveller I found the area friendly and welcoming. There is a small castle nearby which is worth a quick look, but the Glengowla Mines four kilometres away on the road to Clifden is a treat. Really interesting and the scenery out towards the coastal town of Clifden is beautiful. A lovely part of the world.
This b&b was truly great. The house itself was really beautiful, the room was a little small but more than fine for 3 people and all the facilities were perfect and clean. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. And Teresa was truly the kindest and really helpful, always a warm smile at breakfast. Her breakfasts were stunning as well, everything was delicious, especially the pancakes!
The house is situated just on the edge of Oughterard, in walking distance of the center with supermarkets, pubs and restaurants.
Breakfast was excellent. Once acclimated the location proved excellent.. A comfortable drive to Kylemore Abbey and Ashford Castle. A nice and affordable golf course nearby and and a beautiful lake for boating and fishing just down the street. Also a boxing club and football club in town. The town of Oughterard had a few nice Pub's and a grocery that was well stocked. Our host Christian was great and his new puppy Emily couldn't be more adorable
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Gem in Connemara flat. The quality and finish of the place was outstanding and Louise was an attentive and helpful host. The location was perfect for exploring Connemara on my motorcycle and it was just a 10 minute walk to the local Thatch pub for a lovely dinner. Secure gated parking is ideal for anyone touring by motorcycle and I found plenty of places nearby to enjoy some light offroad trails on my bike.
We stayed here for one week as we explored County Galway. The house is centrally located, so it was easy to get everywhere we wanted to go within one hour. Mary and Gerry are fantastic hosts and made us feel right at home. Mary gave us great suggestions of things to do and places to eat in the area. Each morning we had a hot breakfast prepared to order. We wanted a local Irish place to stay, and that is exactly what we got!
Beautiful peaceful location, ideal for touring Connemara. A wonderful setting to return to at end of a busy day to that fantastic view out across the lake. A world away from everyday stresses! A real getaway from it all location! House is very well equipped and host is so friendly and available for any advice needed. We will return and this has been our 3rd visit to this charming house.
Had a wonderful stay! Staff were lovely. Had dinner in the Cafe downstairs, the vibe was great. They also served alcohol, which meant we could relax for the evening and not worry about finding another place to have drinks. Also got a free pint of Guinness with my meal, for being a guest! All in all a great place, in the centre of Oughterard, will definitely return!
Great place to stay , the rooms are very well maintained , spacey , with all the little extra bits you would get in a hotel . The breakfast menu is one of the best I've seen for a guesthouse , lots of choice on offer , and everything served is of high quality . Thank you Patricia for the warm welcome and all the attention towards your guests .
We enjoyed our stay at Camillaun very much. Deidre and Greg are great hosts - freindly and helpful. Excellent breakfast! The location is very convenient - a pleasant, short walk to Oughterard, which is a lovely little town that's a good jumping off point for exploring Connemara and Galway. House has a fantastic snooker table too!
Gerry and Mary were fantastic hosts. The location was in excellent proximity to Galway, and the Conemara area and within walking distance to Oughterard for some nice pubs and food. The breakfast was great and the place was quiet, and the beds were comfy. I would DEFINITELY stay here again, and hope to someday soon.
Great location not far from downtown Oughterard! So comfortable, so clean, great shower and all the facilities, comfy beds and lots of room. Such a beautiful place and a great window view. Patricia was extremely kind and helpful and great to talk to, very caring. The irish breakfast served was excellent.
The hostess was delightful. Breakfast was excellent; plus it was an actual home-made breakfast. The area around the hotel is residential and nice to walk through. Plus the village next door was an excellent surprise: if it hadn't been for this hotel we wouldn't have stopped in Oughterard.
Dessie was a wonderful host, very welcoming & friendly. The location was perfect, right in the center of Oughterard. There was a full kitchen with washing machine & drier which was fantastic for us as we were cycling Wild Atlantic Way, was great to be able to do some laundry properly.
It’s a beautiful part of Ireland, a lovely village and a lovely sleepy pace. The hotel itself was charming - staff are so nice, it’s got a gentle charm about it and is spotless. Rooms are very functional with it - great blackout blinds, no noise carrying etc. plenty of good stuff.
The location was perfect for us. We had multiple windows we could open. The bathroom was huge! The beds were super comfy! The hotel staff was really nice, and even helped us to get our luggage to our room. Super great experience.
Barbara was warm and welcoming. Ever so kind. Very comfortable stay. So close to the lovely town with restaurants and live music. We had a wonderful stay!
Superb accomodation. The host was very kind. The bottle of wine and snacks were kind addition. Location is great for exploring other parts of Connemara.
