Fairhill House Hotel

Had confirmed booking by email Drove from Dublin ,3hours arrived 11pm Only to be told rooms were given away ? No explanation given to how this happened The staff did call a couple of b&B's in the area but no rooms available production from the company I work for got me a room in the end Still no contact from the hotel ( bad form)

Charming hotel with great staff, good beer but food isn’t great in places. Lovely atmosphere with hotel staff very quick and helpful. Breakfast was large and tasty but bathrooms were a little tired Overall hotel was a good experience However steak was poor… tough and expensive So 4/5

Unusually my wife & I had a few days off at the same time just after Christmas so decided to make the most of it and head away for a few days. Choose Fairhill House as reviews were good and it was dog friendly - well that it is and in spades. Reception was empty when we arrived, but it is a small hotel and times are tough for the hospitality industry but there was a very nice lady in the adjacent bar who checked us in and gave us the run down for breakfast etc. The food we ate on the two nights was excellent with quite generous portions as well. They also allow well behaved dogs in the bar so it was really nice to have our little fellow with us for a few drinks as other residents and non residents did also. Lovely touch from the chef and the same lady serving us breakfast on the two days the cooked some rashers for us to take back to the dog with a bowl of water, small thing but a wonderful gesture. Room was fine, perhaps a little chilly, with a balcony which would have been lovely in better weather - but it is always nice to walk out and get some air. Bathroom again fine with a decent shower in the bath. Only small concern would be the walls are a little thin thankfully next door was quiet but soundproofing is not great. Adherence to Covid measures was strict with vaccination certs requested, frequent sanitation of public spaces and laminated menus and mask wearing. We really enjoyed our stay and it is quite certain we will be back as it is so nice to have the dog welcomed in a hotel rather than just tolerated (and even then by only a few hotels in the country). There are only a few like that and they all seem to be in the Galway / Connemara region oddly.

We recently stayed in this lovely hotel. From arrival we had a good feeling about it, friendly staff, very nice room, very clean and tidy. The bar area was really nice with a theme of fishing and angling to go with the area attractions. The food was lovely, well prepared and presented. The owner, Eddie, was very pleasant and sociable and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was served in the back dining and function room, a very impressive place. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
