03/01/2026: Great restaurant that doesn't look like much. The food is great and the service is excellent. I recommend it!

11/01/2026: Consistency is at the core of this team's purpose at the Abbeyglen Castle Hotel. Their Management ethos blends perfectly with the standards showcased by each team member. Brian & Ronan Hughes have 'perfected their craft' over the years - positioning them as trusted ambassadors of Irish Hospitality - linked to the Abbeyglen's unique guests' experiences - because of their authenticity of service. This property is positively quirky, genuinely friendly, entertaining and very memorable. 10 minutes walk from Clifden on the Sky Road, and about 65 minutes drive West of Galway City passing through Oughterard and Maam Cross.

27/12/2025: Abbeyglen was hands down the best hotel I've ever stayed at. My family stayed here for 3 days for Christmas, and the staff and owners really made the place homey and welcoming. They are the true gems; every need, every ask was handled. The waiters during breakfast and dinner were smooth and responsive. The moment my coffee was empty at breakfast, it was immediately getting refilled. The food for dinner was delicious every meal (3/3). The meals were all of the classics (pork Wellington, cod, etc), but every dish was 5/5. The crab claws were excellent btw. Furthermore, the Christmas special was really fun. The area has a nice balance of peace and quiet, but also have a sense of being filled and like you're not alone. There was a child and his mom playing on the steps, an older couple reading by the fire, and folks playing cards in the bar. It was a very special Christmas vacation, and we are lucky to have been a part of it. Abbeyglen, I'll be back one day. Truly a special place. Thank you Brian, Ronan, and all of the staff. Your staff were all fantastic. Seriously, from Nico to Olive at the front, all were fantastic.

30/11/2025: Buzzing environment in a quiet village with excellent food. A lot of hype about this place and it’s worth it. Good Guinness, whiskey and fantastic food!

14/11/2025: Great local pub and great place for a pint!

02/11/2025: Perfect! Large, comfortable, well-equipped, well-located, with helpful and available staff.

09/08/2025: Don't let the rather bland exterior fool you as behind the facade is a 5 star family run hotel and restaurant serving some of the finest food I have tasted. Lovely to relax in the Green room with lovely views after your meal. Pet friendly a real deal maker!!

27/10/2025: Cozy pub/restaurant with a great view. The mussels were fresh and delicious, the seafood chowder was creamy and rich, and the crispy buttermilk chicken goujons were also really good.

30/09/2025: Lovely spot and dog friendly had lovely evening there 😀 🍺🍺🍷🍷

14/12/2025: The food was delicious, the Chowder was one of the best I've ever had, the beef eye steak was amazing, everything was great, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was fantastic, there are TVs to watch the games and they have a terrace upstairs.

05/12/2025: Great place to eat and have a few drinks. Lots of food choices.

06/01/2026: We visited here for lunch. The main lounge was nice, bright, modern and warm. We were seated and had food orders taken. Servers were friendly and efficient. Food arrived quickly and was very good. We can recommend Moycarn Lodge.

29/12/2025: Nice place to relax and have food while watching beautiful view

07/12/2025: The place is very well located, views are awesome, and service was grand. We had roast beef, fish and chips and mussels. Portions are big, food was ok but we were expecting it to be better, I would go back there for the atmosphere but not for the food.
