Our room had two twin beds and big bathroom which was completely tiled and easily handicapped accessible. Martina is very friendly and had several restaurant recommendations, including detailed directions. The house is off the main road in a farm area, but it’s well signposted. There is also a nice common room for relaxing. The breakfast was quite tasty. I definitely... more

Because it was a weekend and we wanted to avoid the crowds based on feedback about it being a big wedding weekend, so we choose a location between Westport and Castlebar and it was a great decision. The hosts are warm and helpful and their home is great. Our room overlooked their horses which were fun to watch. The food... more

We spent six nights with Martina and Brendan in their lovely purpose-built B&B. Ours was a large family room with a roomy shower stall and bathroom, great water pressure, and very comfortable beds. Martina and Brendan were very helpful with information about the area, and some good advice for me in tracking ancestors. Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. We loved... more

This B&B is excellent I wished we could have spent a week in this house. The bedroom and the bath were both very large and super clean with many extras like a basket full of towels so one could chose . The breakfast was great especially Brendan's French Toast Some of the best I have ever eaten. I would go... more

Recently spent 11 days touring Ireland and stayed in 8 different B & B's. The Garden Gates was one of the best that we stayed at. The house is lovely and when we arrrived Martina opened the door to greet us by name before we even knocked! The home was clean, spacious and very quiet. I would highly recommend this... more

We read all the complementary reviews and chose the Garden Gates thinking it must be quite nice, but couldn't possibly be so entirely wonderful. But it is. The property is new, spacious, comfortable and immaculately clean. However that's really secondary to the warmth and friendly atmosphere of this B&B. Martina and Brendan have a gift for making others at home.... more

Myself, my partner and my friends stayed in the Garden Gates about 10 days ago. We were touring in the west of Ireland with friends from abroad and we were looking for a place to stay before heading off to Achill Island the next day. I found the Garden Gates on the internet, rang up and booked the rooms. We... more

We have just returned from a wonderful visit to Ireland. On September 23rd we drove up to Castlebar (IslandEady) from Dublin and after a long ride we were welcomed into the home of Martina and Brendan with warm coffee and yummy cookies. I am happy that we took the advice of other reviewers on this site and chose the Garden... more

We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of our 2 week vacation. We traveled through all parts of Ireland in the 2 weeks and this B & B was by far the best place we stayed. The hospitality outranked the others and the comfort could not be beat. The shared family room (den) was cozy, we felt right... more
