Renvyle House Hotel & Resort

A wonderful hotel made expectational by (i) the wonderful staff; (ii) the location and scenery; (iii) the food and (iv) the facilities. ||Turf fires, outdoor hot tubs, heated outdoor swimming pool, fabulous walks and scenery. This place is special. My wife and I had a wonderful weekend and will definitely be back soon. We met many guest on our visit who are regulars. Congrats to Anne Marie and her wonderful team, dedicated to making a visit to Renvyle such a memorable experience.

Beautiful hotel in an old country house. Lovely room with gorgeous shower room. The hotel has retains many of the period features. There was a welcoming peat fire each evening and the staff could not have been more helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and featured many local ingredients.

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.

Stunning. Marvelous. I did not want to leave and am surely looking forward to returning someday. The hotel is immaculate, enchanting and just all around excellent. I was there with a large group of 100 some folks and the staff were so graceful in bearing with us and helping navigate things for everyone. Anne Marie is delightful, incredibly patient, and I was just as sad to part with her charm and wit as I was the surrounding landscape. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Renvyle House if the opportunity arises, but please spare a room for me too!

We had the most wonderful stay in Renvyle House. The staff were just so lovely. We will always remember ‘Tommy’ who went above and beyond to look after us at dinner and of course the manager Ann Marie. The hotel has such an understated charm to it, the location is incredible, the walks are stunning, the food is delicious. We have vowed to go back every year from now on. Renvyle is the best find we’ve come across in a long time

I stayed in Renvyle House Hotel last Saturday with three friends as we were were going to a concert in nearby Kylemore Abbey that evening. From the warmest of welcomes from Anne-Marie and staff at reception when we arrived, the exceptional lunch in the conservatory, supper later that evening and a top notch breakfast the next morning from a menu that appears to cover every possible breakfast option we had a truly memorable visit. It has an old style charm and individuality that is sadly lacking elsewhere in more recent years especially in the chain type hotels. We wished we could have stayed for longer and I know I speak on behalf of the four of us when I say we would have no hesitation in highly recommending Renvyle House to anyone who appreciates fabulous service, exceptional food, attentive friendly staff and well appointed accommodation in a get away from it all location with sea and mountain views as an added extra! Congrats to all involved and I look forward to returning at some stage in the near future...

So good it is now our “go to” destination when we wish to return to Ireland. Have now visited this beautiful hotel five or six times over several years so it is now about time that I review it on Google. On this visit we took the three night b&b option with dinner on two nights. Breakfast had everything you might desire from the Full Irish with black and white pudding to Kippers or Eggs Benedict. Dinners were of Michelin standard - fantastic value. Of the staff I’d mention the Manager Anne Marie for whom nothing was too much trouble and who was always around keeping an eye on their high standards, Martin the Maitre d’ and waiters Fernando and Arthur. Linda at bookings was also excellent in noting our accomodation needs. I cannot recommend Renvyle House enough. As their slogan says “The only stress here is on relaxation”

It was a wonderful stay - Staff was very friendly & very attentive!!|Scenic views around the property were so beautiful!!|No hidden extra costs for activities and there are a lot to do!!|Beds were so comfortable & room was very spacious & clean|Food - was delicious & all ingredients very fresh. Portion size wasn’t massive but enough (I’m a little piggy)||Just a little bit of construct feedback|- Activities on the grounds weren’t well labelled and I don’t believe they were checked each day. We used the boats but we had to bail out days of rain water before use. There was paddles threw into the pool so wasn’t able to play table tennis one evening. There was a used towel left by the hot tubs for a couple of days.|These little over sights makes a difference when paying high rates.||Overall so many positives but unfortunately with high rates comes certain levels of exceptions

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!
