Exceptional
Inish mor fabulousness!
Liked: Shawn and his lovely gals from El Salvador and California were excellent in giving tips of where to go and arranging ebikes and other local information, including who had Aran sweaters on sale! The cats Guiness and Midnight were an excellent addition. We even saw the meteor shower while we were there
Great place. Great location. Great food. Lovely staff
Liked: Sean collected us from the ferry in his mini bus and had bikes ready for us as soon as we checked in with him. His place is welcoming and the location is amazing. Staff were so friendly, breakfast was lovely and our room was big and beds were really comfortable and the view was stunning. I highly recommend
Beautiful and cozy rooms in middle of Inishmore
Liked: The location was in the middle of Inishmore, so it was quiet and away from the centre of town. But we loved it cuz we could walk to Dun Aonghasa and Wormhole. The breakfast spread was good and the 2 volunteers, Bri and Alexander, together with Sean, offered good advice for sightseeing and the surroundings.
Disliked: The rooms could do with better soundproofing but as it was nearing low season, there was only 1 other guest staying 1 other night. We were the only guests on our 2nd night there.
We had a lovely time here and Sean and his staff were kind and accommodating!
Liked: Beautiful and cozy and everyone was so kind!
The building was warm and clean the food was tasty and the staff friendly
Liked: Breakfast was very good and served quickly.
Disliked: Our bedroom was very warm at night.
Conveniently Located to fort
Liked: The lodging was clean and there are many ammenities in the common room (comfortable seating, weights, exercise mat, games, books. It was attractively decorated. The room views were amazing. The assistant, Eliana (hope I'm spelling her name correctly) who worked with the owner was simply lovely and made a delicious breakfast. She worked hard and seemed so friendly and genuine. The area is beautiful and we received a coupon to get into the Fort at no charge (which was easily in walking distance to lodging). The owner offered to take us into town for food in the evening. We elected to order in food from a local cafe (note that they close at 4 so you have to get it to go and reheat at the Lodge---but they have a microwave at Lodge). I also noted that Eliana made supper for one young couple staying there and it smelled delicious. I'm not sure the cost of that, but it might be an option. Again, Eliana was a gem and the Lodge is lucky to have her.
Disliked: We booked 2 rooms and one was to be a family room with private bath. However, I had to share the bath. That wasn't a problem and I didn't complain but not what I believed to be the case when I booked. I also encourage any lodgers to be crystal clear about pickup time and location (at dock) with the owner upon arrival. I highly recommend speaking with the owner directly rather than relying on email to confirm pickup plans and to avoid miscommunication....and being forced to find your own way to the lodging. We were successful in finding a taxi driver after walking a bit with our luggage. I also recommend that you book a hop on/hop off tour before going to the Lodge. Though this Lodge isn't that far from town, it is an inconvenience to book at taxi to return to town if you want to sightsee. This isn't the fault of the Lodge...I just didn't understand how transportation worked on the island or distances involved.
Good to know
Directions:
There is a bus route from the pier. Bicycles are also available to rent. These services will transport luggage for you as well. Transport is also possible from the airstrip.
On foot or on bicycles, follow the road out of Kilronan heading west towards Dún Aonghasa. Keep straight along the road until there is a turn left marked Gort na gCapall, at the top of a hill leading down to the beach, from which the Dún can be seen. Take the turn left and continue to the lodge, which will be the third building down this road.
An alternate route from Kilronan follows the coastline and takes you past the seal colony lookout point. Continue west out of Kilronan, but just before Tí Joe Watty's pub, there will be a turn right onto a lower road. Continue straight on this road until you arrive at Cill Muirbhigh beach. Go up the hill in the direction back towards Kilronan, and at the top of that hill will be the turn right into Gort na gCapall.
