Renvyle House Hotel & Resort

It may seem like a peculiar Headline, but having greatly enjoyed many previous stays here in Autumn & Winter (when the Days are shorter, the Rain is more frequent, the winds are constant, etc.) we were all the more delighted to now experience Renvyle House's warm hospitality in favourable sunny weather in April. For sure, no matter what time of year you come here, you will enjoy this historic Hotel's brilliant, scenic location on the Atlantic Coast, it's comfortable facilities, its superb Food, and - above all - being cossetted by the attentive staff, but good weather makes one smile all the more ! So, this time around, as the Sun shone for most of the time, we were even happier staying at one of our absolute favourite Hotels, here in Ireland or thar lear. Our renewed thanks to the incomparable General Manager, Anne Marie + to her supportive Team, most notably, on this occasion, Tommy, Majella, Linda and the newly arrived Frenchman, Martin : well done to them + their colleagues for making our latest stay so pleasant and encouraging us to come back again...

Wat een ontdekking. Als je toekomt en rondkijkt heb je een sterk einde-van-de-wereld-gevoel. Wat een mooie plek aan de zee en aan een meer, met zovele faciliteiten. Eén team van personeelsleden zorgt voor een warm onthaal en verblijf. Met veel klasse maar nooit stijf. Zeer verzorgd ontbijt en ook lekker en gevarieerd barfood. Boek zeker ook eens het viergangenmenu in het restaurant!

Simply wonderful! We had a family reunion and birthday celebrations, and we were treated so well. We were a party of 27, from 3 continents and ranging from 84 years to 18 months in age, and every single person loved it! From the booking to check out, both Ann Marie and Ben were excellent to deal with. Anything we wanted they provided. Food, service, staff, atmosphere, and activities were all superb.We created memories to last a lifetime, and that was thanks to all the staff at Renvyle. Roll on the next reunion!

Where to start...the experience at the Renvyle House blew away my expectations. I did not know what to expect after looking at pictures and reading reviews, but the experience was 300% better. Where to start? The ambiance and location is something that is out of a storybook or movie. It is simply breathtaking. You can't capture the views of the seas and hills/mountains adequately through text or even photos. The history and ambiance of the accommodations and grounds were superb. The accommodations were traditional yet enough of the modern comforts. The atmosphere was amazing with the live music (harp one night and Irish folk music the next) at night. And then you have the hospitality!! The management team and all their team members are some of the best I've experienced all over the world. They were kind and diligent and they truly went the extra mile to make it memorable. **I almost forgot about the food. Every course that came out of the kitchen was fine dining quality. The added benefit was that every course (while not always Irish cuisine) was cooked with 100% local Irish ingredients (all the finish was freshly caught!!). There are so many extras that I didn't get to experience, such as the pool, hot tub or lawn games... I would 100% return for a very unique Irish country experience...

From the moment we stepped off the bus, our experience was amazing. Ann-Marie, the hotel manager, was absolutely lovely and ensured all of the guest in our group felt welcomed. Food was delicious, amenities were great, and the room was clean. Perhaps most amazing was the location and view. Thanks for a wonderful time!

First and lasting impressions always count . From the minute we entered this 'stress free zone ' you can feel the ambience'. Talk about 'a haven of peace' once home to the O flahertys this house is steeped in history. Lake on one side and sea on the other side it is truly a hidden gem . Ann Marie and her team are amazing . A big céad míle fáilte on arrival and it so lovely to sit around the beautiful fire. Nothing was a problem to the staff and we were made feel more than welcome in this hidden gem . The rooms were so comfy with views in every room that we had. The dinner was to die for . Go raibh míle maith agaibh Ann Marie. Tá áit fíorálainn agaibh í Connemara. Beidh muid ar ais .
