we stayed there for two nights and were treated very well. Even though we arrived very early the owner (Brian) had our room cleaned first so we could go there and have a nap. The room was large, we had WiFi available and the bathroom was clean and even had an electric heater. But the most outstanding 'feature' of Portfinn... More

Fabulous stay with stunning views. Fantastic food, really fresh and so tasty. We arrived late and the service was just outstanding. Could have stayed there for a week. Thanks to all the staff for a great long weekend.

Owner very helpful - even offered to take a look at my broken car. The Killary bay mussels were fantastic - really good - worth driving there for those alone, but all the food was very very good. Rooms had fantastic views - must be one of the most premium located rooms - view wise - in the area. Maybe... More

Beautiful views from almost every window. Very welcoming hosts and friendly staff. Rooms basic, but clean and well kept. Centrally located to explore Connemara. We went on a Group, offer, which was exceptional value and included B&B, evening meal, which was top class (the prawns were to die for) and a boat trip on Killary fiord. Very peaceful and a... More

spent two nights here, amazing view of the ford from the rooms at the front of the building. two really friendly and helpful hosts who were only too willing to help and pass a couple of minutes with chit chat. dinner and breakfast were lovely and the recommended wine was really nice too. looking forward to staying here again.

Most enjoyable stay weekend commencing 17th May. The host was most welcoming and recommended the boat trip on Killary fjord on the Friday night as there was a live band playing on board. They were fantastic! Our room was spacious and clean with a superb view over the fjord. We dined in the restaurant on the Saturday night and can... More

Of the 10 B&Bs we stayed at during our visit this was probably our least favorite. While the rooms were spacious and clean, the host seemed annoyed whenever we encountered him. He was not very welcoming. The breakfast was okay, but pretty greasy. On the other hand, the location was great. We walked to a local hotel pub for Lunch... More

Very pleasant stay, great staff. Excellent location. Nice and cosy which is needed in Connemara. Would highly recommend. The boat trip in killary is a must as is walking around the area. The food in the restaurant was very tasty and Chris along with all the staff were very helpful.

Leenaun is a nice little town set on the fjord and there are great views (and big winds) everywhere in town. This place had a good location slightly up on a hill with amazing views from the restaurant (and maybe some of the rooms - not ours, though). Owner and staff were friendly and the place was overall quite nice.... More
