An incredible experience and one of the most beautiful areas I have ever had the privilege to be in. This hotel has been run by the same family since the 1930s and their dedication to hospitality shines through. The food in the restaurant is extraordinary and is prepared with love. You will enjoy the grounds, the bar, the sitting room and everything about Gougane Barra.

The hotel and staff are lovely. It is very out of the way (which is the point) but surrounded by amazing views of the mountains and lakes. Very serene and quiet. Just the place to unwind, enjoy some solitude with nature and Some lovely meals. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone.

The staff were truly some of the nicest people I've ever met and so helpful. Beautiful location. Great rooms. Great cafe

The place was amazing, very nice and warm people around. The food could have been better, even though it looked tempting in the menu, the taste needed improvement.

The friendliest,kindest staff. Lovely.

It is a beautiful family owned and run hotel with friendly staff and an outstanding restaurant. The lake view rooms provide a beautiful view of both the lake and church. The rooms are comfortable s and clean. Gougane Barra is my family’s favorite place in Ireland.

Great staff and location !

Absolutely stunning on every front. Do yourself a favor and book it. Lovely cozy rooms, incredible food, wonderful competent and friendly staff, gorgeous scenery, convenient parking and beautiful forest walks adjacent to hotel grounds.

A unique location

Beautiful property….gorgeous location…..nice restaurant…but the only restaurant nearby….friendly, helpful staff….highly recommended

Beautiful location, nice food and truthful staff. Hotel room was cold.

Lovely hotel, very clean, the staff were very friendly and efficient. The owner Niall has a word for everybody, and very knowledgeable about the area. the food was amazing and again service was excellent. even though they were very very busy. A boat was available if you wanted to go on the lake. Lastly the walks are amazing. we will definitely be back.

Wonderful place

Beautiful views. Hotel with lots of character. Comfortable and clean with spacious rooms. Very rural and remote which suited us. Bar is traditional And cosy with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Breakfast included And whilst there was plenty of fruit, cereals and cakes available the cooked menu was extremely sparse....very Small portions... Which disappointed us

Everything about the hotel was wonderful. The staff were all so lovely. The food was great and were provided generous portion sizes. The rooms provide everything that you need and you cannot better the view. Highly recommend and would certainly return.

We had a lovely stay at Gougane Barra Hotel. Everyone working there was super helpful, friendly and attentive. Unfortunately we had only booked one night - but will definitely return - and hopefully soon!

This hotel is in an absolutely breathtaking area.It is a traditional family run hotel which prides itself in good old fashioned friendliness with guests becoming friends!

Set in beautiful surroundings, lovely friendly and helpful staff. Food is fabulous!

This is a truly special place nestled right on a lake with an abundance of hiking trails. The hotel also has a restaurant and the food is incredible. This would be a three-star property and the price reflects that it doesn't have the frills and updates of higher-end accommodations. I would recommend this charming hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful respite away from the hustle and bustle of cities.

Gorgeous family run hotel at the edge of a forest park and right in front pf a lake. Very nice details in furbishing. Owner and manager and his staff were a in a chain driven fast world. Restaurant is exzellent, rooms comfy. Just a real gem and get away hideout.
