Charming and Quiet with Wonderful Food

Ross Lake House is a charming guest house in the countryside north of the bustling Galway. We enjoyed our stay, particularly the evening cocktails in the small room off the parlor and a really, really delicious dinner. Our suite was very spacious, which is great for a family traveling together. The furnishings are a bit dated and there is not much to do without driving, however, we found it to be an excellent value and enjoyed talking with the very friendly and gracious proprietors and strolling the grounds. If you’re looking for something off the beaten path with charm and character, this is a great choice.

Our stay was amazing and we truly enjoyed the time we spent with Henry in the library/bar. I can still smell the scent of lavender & roses on our bed linens, so lovely!! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The wait staff even filled our travel mugs on our way out. the rooms we had were picture perfect. Thank you, Thank you!!!

The setting was lovely and the property was charming. We had had a hard couple days of hiking before we got here so it was just a lovely oasis to rest and recover. Wish we had stayed another day!

Exactly what we hoped the Hotel would be, Henry was super funny and taught me about Hurling and I was actually able to follow along with the game, Joe the dining room caretaker was a open and honest and they both had great stories to tell. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable, and the shower had good enough pressure. Food was delicious everyday. I would definitely stay again if ever in Ireland.

Séjour agréable.

Hôtel situé dans un parc magnifique, dans un environnement très calme.L'accueil des propriétaires est sympathique. Petit déjeuner et dîner de qualité mais un peu cher (35€ pour 2 plats). La chambre (standard) est correcte (un peu chère aussi pour le standing).La salle de bains pas très grande sans rien pour poser la trousse de toilette. mais, globalement, endroit sympathique.

Ruhe und Gastfreundschaft

Die Lage in dem Großen wunderbar angelegten Park und die herzliche Gastfreundschaft von Henry und Elaine machen die Tage in Ross Lake House zu einem besonderen Erlebnis.Mit dem Auto ist man schnell in Galway und dem faszinierenden Connemara.Die Abende in der "Library Bar" werden uns in Erinnerung bleiben.

Beau manoir dans la campagne irlandaise.

Beau et ancien manoir mais dont la salle de bain demande à être rénovée. Mais le charme est là. A quelques kilomètres du village d’Oughterard au milieu de la campagne donc anticiper son dîner ou réserver à l’avance son repas. Bon petit déjeuner. Les salons sont cosy. Belle literie.

Quiet out hidden oasis

I was sightseeing in Connemara and needed a place before heading down to County Clare. This place was perfect to rest and relax before the following day. Quiet, peaceful grounds. Wonderful hosts. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant was delicious. This is not an exciting location for kids. The average age of the guests is 40+. The beds were quite small. There were two singles set side to side. I'm 6-3 and was hanging off most of the night. The bathroom was small, but then not as bad as my hotel in Zurich...
