We had a wonderful stay at Ballinakill Lodge in Connemara. The house is absolutely beautiful and was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 2 kids. The huge kitchen and dining area gave us plenty of space to cook, eat and spend time together. The location is truly spectacular, surrounded by the beauty and peace of the Connemara countryside. It’s also the perfect distance from Clifden, making it easy to enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside while still being close enough to experience the restaurants, shops and lively atmosphere of town. A fantastic home in a stunning location — we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return!
