The place was amazing, very nice and warm people around.
The food could have been better, even though it looked tempting in the menu, the taste needed improvement.

Lovely hotel, very clean, the staff were very friendly and efficient. The owner Niall has a word for everybody, and very knowledgeable about the area. the food was amazing and again service was excellent. even though they were very very busy. A boat was available if you wanted to go on the lake. Lastly the walks are amazing. we will definitely be back.

Bel endroit mais hôtel pas à la hauteur
Très bel emplacement mais… chambre petite, pas très bien équipée et surtout non insonorisée, c’est vraiment dérangeant…
Sinon le personnel est très sympa. Il y a un petit parking devant l’hôtel et notre chambre avait une magnifique vue.
Rapport qualite prix pas extra.

Beautiful views. Hotel with lots of character. Comfortable and clean with spacious rooms. Very rural and remote which suited us. Bar is traditional And cosy with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Breakfast included And whilst there was plenty of fruit, cereals and cakes available the cooked menu was extremely sparse....very Small portions... Which disappointed us

Hotel with the Best Views In Ireland
Everything about the hotel was wonderful. The staff were all so lovely. The food was great and were provided generous portion sizes.
The rooms provide everything that you need and you cannot better the view.
Highly recommend and would certainly return.

Wonderful stay!
We had a lovely stay at Gougane Barra Hotel. Everyone working there was super helpful, friendly and attentive. Unfortunately we had only booked one night - but will definitely return - and hopefully soon!

Love this lakeside gem!
This is a truly special place nestled right on a lake with an abundance of hiking trails. The hotel also has a restaurant and the food is incredible. This would be a three-star property and the price reflects that it doesn't have the frills and updates of higher-end accommodations. I would recommend this charming hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful respite away from the hustle and bustle of cities.
