Portfinn Lodge

This was a good one night stopping place to see Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park and Sky Road. There is an oyster farm not far away as well. The surrounding area is very picturesque but still has some restaurants and shops an easy walking distance. The furniture in the shared living area is shabby. Though the room furnishings are old and a bit worn it is all clean. The shower has just enough water coming out to get you clean. Overall it’s probably a fair room price for what you get.

Owner was very amicable and kindly let us check in early, which allowed us to leave our luggage so it wasnt sat unattended in the car whilst we had a cruise down the Killary Fjord, breakfast was well presented and very tasty

We were left disappointed by our stay. The BnB itself was cold and had a musty smell. Additionally there are many signs to state it is non-smoking but 100% strong smell of smoke throughout the accommodation. This was unexpected and would have booked elsewhere knowing this was the standard. The room itself had clean sheets, however the room could do with a deep clean. Shower had visible dirt on handles etc. Would not recommend if in the area.

The lakefront and pubs nearby. Also Enniff waterfall where we saw salmon jumping upstream!

The Killary Fjord has to be one of the most stunningly beautiful places on Earth. Standing with our backs to Gaynor’s pub, one of several locations used to film the award winning movie the Field, we stood in awe of the scenery. We had just arrived and after lunch in Galway we drove through gorgeous hills and valleys of Eastern Connemara to arrive at this spot. “Where are we staying?” my travelling companion Kelli asked and as I turned around and pointed I said “There”! We were so excited to see the wonderful white walls of Portfinn Lodge just behind us. The lodge is spotlessly clean, the staff are welcoming and friendly, you have everything you need with some old-world charm. Perfect. But let’s not undermine its finest quality; location. The view from every window could be framed and put on the wall. Even the rear facing ones have incredible vistas of the mountains that tower over it. It is also perfectly located for all the lovely pubs, restaurants and little shop, literally two minutes walk down the little old path that divides it’s pristine front lawns. Among these amenities you’ll find everything you could possibly need to wine and dine on sea food from just a stones throw away, drink a perfect pint of Guinness, shop for local produce, use the little post office or sit in the perfectly lovely Purple Door Café with a coffee, breakfast or lunch. But having eaten your delicious Portfinn Lodge breakfast, you’ll probably be too full. Thank you Portfinn 5⭐️

Unbeatable location right on Killary Fjord. Our room was looking out over the water, which was just an unmatched experience. The room was large, bright, and comfortable. It’s just a couple minutes walk from the couples of stores and bars in town. Great place to stay if you’re passing through and want a scenic stopover or to do some hiking in the area.

Lovely place to stay in Leenane. Portfinn is located in the heart of the village and there is a safe park for car as well. Beautiful place with stunning view from the room and living room, clean and comfortable, amazing breakfast and friendly staff … I recommend this place because is the best spot for people wanting to explore the Village and Connemara.
