Welcome to Leenane Hotel, Connemara

Leenane Hotel is located in the village of Leenane in Co Galway, Ireland – part of the Connemara region of Ireland.

Overlooking Killary Harbour, Ireland’s only fjord, the Hotel enjoys what is perhaps one of the most scenic locations in Ireland.

The Leenane Hotel has played host to Kings and Mortals for the last three centuries and like all good things, has improved with age! Originally established as a Coaching Inn, the earliest records show that there has been an establishment in existence here since the 1790’s. As you would expect, standards have come a long way since then but you will still find that the essential character of the Hotel and the surrounding area remains.

We pride ourselves in providing a warm welcome, the highest standards of hospitality and a fine dining experience.

Eine der besten Aufenthalte während unseres Wild Atlantic Way Trips. ☺Das Abendessen war fantastisch. Die Live Musik am Abend. Der Blick aus dem Zimmer über das Wasser.

Guter Stopp für eine Rundreise ☺Wir hatten ein schönes Zimmer mit Balkon. Diese Aussicht ging direkt auf den Fjord und war wirklich schön, ganz besonders morgens, als das Wasser da war. ☹Die Zimmer waren hellhörig.

Superb location - very special experience ☺ Superb location. What a treat to look out over and see such stunningly beautiful scenery. An element of stepping back in time but still having benefit of modern amenities. ☹ All very charming

Perfect location and fabulous food 4th time for us to stay and this hotel has to be amongst the best value in the country. Rooms are really nice and ours had views of the beautiful Killary harbour . Evening meals were fantastic as usual. We had Chowder and Garlic prawns for starters and both were prepared to perfection. Mains of Pork Belly and Lamb shank were cooked perfectly. Breakfast cooked to order and brown bread is the showpiece. Will be back before the year is over.

Sightseeing holiday and in need of TLC. Superb Everything.... from check in to departure its truly a comfortable and enjoyable hotel, the updated walk in showers are a lovely touch. The food all freshly cooked. Steaks and Fish are faultless, breakfast makes a great start to the day. Highly recommended. Staff are friendly and so helpful, we've stayed many times and it never disappoints, reception and check in was first class. Leenane village is so unspoiled and lovely to take a leisurely amble after dinner. Clifden is only a short drive away and Letterfrack is a lovely stop-off with its ATU college, Kylemore is a must see, the gardens are fabulous. I could go on.

Beautiful Leenane This is my second visit to this fantastic hotel. The staff are truly exceptional and the food is so amazing and exceptional value for money. Overlooking Killary harbour the views are spectacular. I’m about to check out of the hotel but I had to write my review before my departure. I was here this time as part of a walking group and there were a few large groups here at the same time. I don’t know how the staff managed to be so nice and helpful whilst being so busy. I highly recommend a visit to this area and you won’t be disappointed with your stay at the Leenane Hotel. You can buy their amazing brown bread at reception , you have to pre order it.

A Real Gem This is a gem of a hotel in a stunning location on Killary fjord. It was a old coach inn and retains many of the lovely features of the old Inn. We had a room in the old building with high ceiling and sash window overlooking the water. There are newer rooms with balconies available. Great atmosphere-staff going over and above for everyone. Really nice food and seating outside available. Great value -will be back

The true spirit of Connemara hospitality Our Rotary Club group of 41 friends from Alsace in France just spent 2 nights at this charming, traditional, family-run hotel and were delighted with our first experience of legendary Irish hospitality : the warm reception, helpful and friendly staff, efficient service, excellent food and wine and of course a welcoming bar ! A special mention for the excellent breakfast. Many thanks to Allain Tours for organising our stay.

A Wonderful Western Welcome aWaits Just back from an Easter stay with my wife, daughter and our dog. We had a wonderful time there. The food as always was amazing, locally sourced and each night it was a delight to savour. The staff are the friendliest we have come across for a long time. This is a dog friendly hotel and unlike others who claim to be this one truly is, whilst dogs are not allowed in the dining room it is still possible to have them accompany you at dinnertime in a space off the main bar. They are allowed to join you in the lounge and our dog particularly liked lying in front of the fireplace. All in all it was a wonderful experience and despite the fact that the weather was unsettled, it did not stop us exploring some of the many beautiful beaches nearby as well as marvel at the amazing scenery.
