We had booked the old monastery, but he had overbooked, and sent us here. We had a six bed room for 3 of us. The door did not even close, never mind lock, so we ended up carrying everything with us. Although tv was promised, this turned out to be rte 1 in a glorious but unwatchable pink hue. There... More

Go to Bards Den! Dirt and cobwebs everywhere- moldy odor- only for most daring travellers! Nobody there to ask...or to complain... free wifi never works You can- luckily- get a lot more for 80 € (family room) in Ireland!

We stayed 4 nights in August 2012. Pros: Fantastic location - ideal for trekking, biking etc. Connemara is soo beautifull! It stole my heart on the first evening when we drove R344 from Recess towards Letterfrack. The mountains, lakes.... such lovely views! Oh, just mind the crazy sheep on the road ;) Fantastic host - very friendly and welcoming, when... More

Room basic and on the small side but clean and fully functional. Great location and the adjoining bar is well run by excellent friendly staff who help create a great atmosphere with food and beer in the bar of good quality. Ideal stop off for 1 or 2 nights and excellent value for money

We found Heather to be... More

Stayed in the Hostel, basic but comfortable and inexpensive. Food and drink in the bar was really good, daily seafood special were great! Service is very good! Never had to visit the bar, the girls keep you topped up! Free Wifi is nice also!

I spent a week in the Bards Den & BB in Letterfrack. I had a room for three but was lucky to have it all week for myself first week in May 2012 as a season did not start. There is a large kitchen where you can cook if you like. Breakfast is included. Place is very quite and nice.... More

Breakfast was orange juice, selection of cereals and tea/coffee/hot chocolate and toast with a whole host of jams and chocolate spreads. Room we stayed in (an 8 bed mixed dorm) was spacious and clean. Bunk beds were large and... More
