Renvyle House Hotel & Resort

I am just home after two nights in renvyle house. I must say i have stayed in many places around Ireland but this is by far now one of my favourites. The staff are trained to a flawless level. It is so rare to see a table set up and cleaned down as i witnessed and experienced. I also noted the general manager making a point of visiting each table during service in addition to the resturant manager Martin. I got dinner included on both nights and the menu was different on both nights. The food on offer is cooked to perfection with a five course service. The plates are not pretensious and the flavours are well thought out. I was apprehensive of the quality of room i was going to get as i was bringing a pet but again the rooms were top notch. I noted the hotel has a trout lake that can be fished and they can arrange clay shooting. There are plenty of walks for the dog and i will for sure be back during the summer months next season. If you are thinking of a place to get away and totally relax i would recomend you give this place a try.

We go there every November and have a great time . We are looked after so well by Ann Marie and her fabulous team . It is a warm welcoming place with plenty to do. The food is excellent and service too. The dining room waiters spoil us. They are young enthusiastic students from Spain/Argentina etc - two names I remember are Javier and Fernando but there are many more as well. Same goes for all the others -Bar/Reception and Bedrooms. A huge thank you to you all. I must mention Majella as well - she buzzes around constantly checking that everything is in order - the four fires -the lounges/ hall area /sun room and checking the Bedroom team . |There is plenty of in house entertainment - we loved our 2 plays by Sean and Ros/Harpist/Sing song with a regular guest there called Ber and her guitar and the music in the Bar as well, Sean does a walk one morning. It is very interesting and worth going on. |Weather was not great but it did not matter . We went to Clifden - it a lovely town with lots of nice shops there. Another morning we visited Kylemore . Letterfrack has a great Book Shop - Books at One - went there twice .|There is a heated out door swimming pool 2 Canadian hot tubs /tennis courts . |Some brave guests swam in the sea and then used the hot tubs . They said it was fabulous. |Now we are looking forward to our next trip there.

This is a lovely place. Spectacular views, homey atmosphere, and delicious food. Top notch. We understand that the bathrooms are being renovated this winter, which is great news. Our only complaint was the bathrooms- and the tub/shower in particular (very high tub to navigate over- a bit dicey quite honestly). The staff is terrific and very hospitable.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while! A hidden gem in the heart of Connemara! The grounds are fantastic and the ocean views breathtaking! Staff are always courteous and polite. It’s also dog friendly in some rooms which is a great bonus for people who love the outdoors. The food is second to none, fabulous breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. Would highly recommend a visit.

Attended my Nephew's Wedding here. From start to finish it was absolutely fabulous. Location was stunning. Staff were fantastic, a special mention to Hugo who looked after us so we'll and always with a smile. Annmarie the host was great, nothing was any bother to her. I would highly recommend. A group of us went for a sea swim, followed by a soak in the outdoor jacuzzi - fantastic and then a little swim in the heated outdoor pool. Would love to make a return trip some day. Thanks for making the wedding and stay so memorable. 😘🥂🎉🎉

An exceptional hotel, from the moment we arrived our every need was met by very professional, friendly and courteous staff. We hated leaving and will definitely be back. Excellent food and a very relaxing ambience. This hotel is a gem in a great location and is a 5 star + in what it offers.

We had been here before - many times - so when we, a less than youthful Couple, were considering a legally-recognised venue for celebrating & solemnising our Marriage, with a small group of our closest Friends, we immediately thought of Renvyle House : we were proved totally right in our choice !||Previous guests at this scenically-located Hotel will be all too familiar with its absolutely stunning surroundings : what's even more impressive is the total warm, effective care and attention that the personable General Manager, Anne Marie + her staff lavish on all who come here.||For our part, we would like to express our heartfelt appreciation of the kind, caring and considerate manner in which Anne Marie & her Team treated us + our small Group for an extremely "Special Occasion" . We particularly enjoyed the unanticipated ovation we received from an assembled Staff Group, as we emerged from our Wedding Ceremony, and without reflecting negatively on anyone else, we would add our special thanks to Majella, Linda & Tommy for their constant care and attention throughout our weeklong stay!||At our age, we're not big into self-promotion, so the accompanying Photos aim to indicate some of the many positive features of this absolutely wonderful venue, rather than focusing on us.||And, of course, le cúnamh Dé, we're planning to return to Renvyle very soon....

For chilling out, reading, rest, fine dining, private bar and bar food. Poetry readings, music recitals etc before dinner. Heated outdoor pool, hot tubs and very dog friendly. If you are looking for club land, this is defn. not the place.

On the way in to this hotel there's a sign that says something along the lines of 'you are now entering a stress free' zone. So true. This is one of the most chill places I've ever had the privilege of staying. The rooms are small but incredibly comfortable despite the dodgy plumbing. We booked in for three nights on a bed, breakfast and dinner package with 3 other couples on the bank holiday weekend in June. We had a blast. The food is magnificent. The breakfast alone sets the tome for the day and dinner is a delight. Nothing fancy. Just good wholesome food, beautifully presented and with well drilled and attentive staff. Relax at any time during the day in several day rooms with coffee or booze more or less on tap. Live music at night in the bar after dinner leading to a sing song ranging from Irish ballads to ABBA ensure a relaxing, no hassle weekend. During the day, there is so much to see and do in the beautiful Connemara countryside within easy striking distance of the hotel. Must see tourist destinations such as Kylemore Abbey and chic food trucks such as The Misunderstood Heron in nearby Letterfrack have to be experienced. Experience also the grounds in the immediate vicinity for a bracing walk in the afternoon or even a dip in the sea right next to the hotel. For the less adventurous, the hotel,has a heated outdoor swimming pool as well. Given that it was an all-in package it was incredibly good value in my opinion. Highly recommended. Will definitely return. It's a minimum 4.5 hour drive from Dublin so need at least 3 nights to get the full chillax experience.

Location is amazing. Pub is excellent. Rooms are small and tired. The suites in the back are recommended. Sometimes dinner is a cattle call type experience, but the food was always good. Not many hotel choices here, this is it. For the money, we find better value doing a VRBO.

Gorgeous, historical hotel. Staff is absolutely amazing. Restaurant, bar, front desk, everyone was kind and helpful. Owners on site. Location is simply breathtaking. Surrounding area and drive in was beyond spectacular.

(Food only review) Overall Value: This was by far the best food we had in Ireland, and honestly some of the best meals we've ever had, period. The breakfast is phenomenal, and dinner - in both the restaurant and the pub - were both on another level. We are super frugal, and the meals were splurges, but absolutely worth it. Any fish dish here is going to be amazing - it's all local. We didn't like our room at the hotel (kinda dingy) but wow, the food absolutely made up for it. The food: We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights, and got two breakfasts, one dinner at the pub, and one dinner at the restaurant. The restaurant meals are also available at the pub, but the pub-only food is a little cheaper, so we opted to do that one of the nights. Breakfast: -included with the cost of a room. Really nice buffet spread of fruit, breads, cheeses, yogurt, etc., plus a menu that you can also pick from like scrambled eggs, eggs prepared other ways, full Irish breakfast, vegetarian breakfast, various fish options, etc. They let us order 2 meals per person at no additional cost, which was amazing! Sorry, we have no shame. Everything is worth it - we got scrambled eggs, Irish Breakfast, and Fish Hollandaise. The star of the show is their brown bread. I almost didn't bother to try it, because I thought it would be bland (I'm not a fan of soda bread) - but it may just be the best bread I have ever eaten. We had this bread at every meal, and could not eat enough. The pub: We had fish & chips (€17.50) and Irish Goat Cheese Praline Wild Leaf Salad (€12.50) for dinner, as well as a dessert (I'm blanking on the name of the dessert because it was unusual and unfortunately I failed to take a picture of the menu, which changes daily). All very high quality. We were initially a little disappointed with the salad because we got it to get some veggies and it turned out to be mostly cheese. But then we tried the cheese and had no regrets - best cheese we had in Ireland, and just melted in your mouth. Excellent coating on the fish n'chips and generous portions. Dessert was also fantastic. Dinner: We ordered off the prefix menu - we got crab cakes and mussels for appetizers, Connemara lamb and broiled fish for mains, and two desserts (ugh, wish I took a picture of the menu so I could remember exactly what they were. They were unique and delicious!) The dinner at the restaurant is quite pricey, but absolutely worth it - every dish is so well cooked and every component so well put together. It really was one of the best experiences of our trip. Space and Pace: The pub is a bit sprawling, with both indoor and outdoor space. The restaurant for dinner and breakfast is a large space, and the first floor of the hotel and the surrounding area is just beautiful in general (unlike our hotel room). Service: The waitstaff in the restaurant for dinner and at breakfast were all amazing - great recommendations, really friendly, and excellent service. The bartender at the pub was a little short with us and seemed kind of annoyed at having to wait on us, although they were extremely busy at the time, so we let it slide. Whatever, the food made up for it.

Stumbled across this hotel - last minute. The serving staff couldn't get our order right on multiple tries across two meals, several had difficulty with english; however, the meals were good. The hotel is beautifully situated on the western Atlantic shores and does have a nice view. I believe the hotel could use some updating a bit and feels more like a rustic, eclectic lodge. The receptionists were very accommodating and helpful though.

Renvyle House is amazing! We stayed there recently for a wedding. Everything was perfect and we look forward to returning one day. The location is absolutely stunning - and Renvyle House is like no other place we've stayed. It's a beautiful inn, beautiful rooms, beautiful views, beautiful gardens, excellent restaurant, beautiful sitting areas - and so much more!
