Aldridge Lodge in

24/06/2026: This hotel is a secret family gem whatever the weather . The welcome ,service , quality and value for money is incomparable to anywhere else in Ireland . No it’s not all singing all dancing . It has an arts and crafts energy - bunches of wild flowers picked from The garden - a small croquet lawn , kayaking on the lake - hot tub overlooking the bay - forest walk through an orchard rose garden . And if it’s cold and rainy - chill in one of the many cosy chairs and read, write , whatever . Oh and did I mention the outdoor heated pool . PLUS the drive there and beaches on your doorstep are stunning . I almost don’t want to share it

16/06/2026: A review like this just won’t do Renvyle justice. I have been coming for over twenty years for holidays, spending time with family and some great weddings. Firstly, the setting is stunning. When you leave Galway city behind and drive out through Connemara, you feel yourself switch off and start to relax. Secondly, the staff are second to none. They run a brilliant hotel and they are a large part of its success. Thirdly, the food is delicious. It’s consistently always been excellent and there are options for all appetites and palates! Dog friendly as well for those with a four legged friends. I always love my stays there, and I always love going back. Renvyle holds a lot of special memories from over the years and it’s a place I’m incredibly fond of.
