Character by the bucket-load; the hotel, the owner, the staff, the area - there was nothing plastic or insipid about this place. We booked top-of-the-range rooms with sea views for our three night stay. The rooms were huge with comfortable furniture and the view was glorious, out over the attractive garden and into the bay. Furnishings were traditional. The decor... More

We spent two nights at the hotel as a base to visit Connemara. We chosed it first because it had connecting rooms which were hard to come by in the region. Also we were looking for a relatively secluded place with some traditional feel to it. And we were not disappointed. Zetland is not a high tech, ultra modern hotel.... More

I've been meaning to do this for ages so here goes... We wanted somewhere smallish and different for our wedding (80 guests) and we fell in love with this place at first sight. We just loved the homely atmosphere, the staff were amazing and the (lovely) owner, Colm spent a lot of time with the family over the weekend which... More

My husband and I stayed at Zetland for two nights recently, and absolutely loved it!

Our overnight stay in August 2012 after a hard day's cycling was made very enjoyable by friendly and helpful staff. We were given an upgrade to a superb suite with a view of the Lough because the hotel was quiet. The hotel food was substantial and excellent. I thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Everything was very clean in the rooms and common areas, the sitting room was warm and welcoming and I spent a few hours curled up in... More

I feel I have to write this review for two reasons, the first been to disagree with the review of Klaus 37Who obvious has no comparisons of a world without materialism, I was at the Zetland Hotel For my very first visit the last week of June of this year. And found it to be very well decorated in the... More

We ( a couple) stayed here some weeks ago ( early June). My first impression was that we had arrived at the back door, we entered the lobby where yes the receptionist was very friendly. We arrived at our room, I think we must be in the old part, there was a lingering damp smell, the decor was very 1980's,... More
