To celebrate our birthdays we took advantage of a three night B&B break with two evening meals included in the price. On arrival our bags were carried by Colm to our room which was comfortable and ultra clean. The large en suite had both bath and shower. The TV had BBC1 plus various other Irish/international channels. At night we had... more

Went to Carna to look for family roots. Lovely area, exactly my idea of Ireland. The staff was very friendly. The accomodations were excellent in the wheelchair accessible room and bathroom. The bedroom was a little small, but very roomy bath & shower for wheelchair. Delicious food in the dinning room. more

We have been to Carna Bay several times over the last 10years and it just gets better. It feelsd like you are going home.This time we took some friends to prove how good it is. Mary , as usual made us all welcome and for her staff nothing was too much trouble. The rooms as ever were warm and cosy... more

Carna Bay is miles more fun than all those anonymous, boil-in-the-bag four star hotels which now dominate the market. Luxury at Carna is defined by a jovial pint of Guinness in the bar after a day exploring the pure white Connemara sands; perhaps in preparation for a huge plate of mussels from the excellent kitchen. Or maybe before trying out... more

We have just returned from the Carna Bay Hotel. We used the hotel as a base for hill walking and further acitivity in the area. From the moment we arrived - indeed from the moment we telephoned Mary the proprietress - we were made to feel totally relaxed welcome and at home. The atmosphere could not be more pleasant. We... more

My husband, daughter, and I stayed two evenings at Carna Bay Hotel in mid-May of this year. Mary, who I believe is an owner, was so very kind and did everything she could to make us comfortable. Our en-suite rooms were clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were of adequate size and had plenty of towels and bath accessories. The Irish... more

Evening meal was good with prompt service . Otherwise I'd give this a miss . Bar and reception area were unattractive ; decor throughout was depressing ; furnishings were in dire need of replacing ; despite our complaining twice , the whole place was underheated [not helped in our room by a spare bed blocking the radiator ] . There... more

I visited this hotel over new year (2000/2001) and found the staff welcoming and accomodating. the food was excellent and the hotel is set in a wonderfully unspoilt part of Ireland a little off the classic route but within easy access of the main sites of Connemara. I throughly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hotel to others. A... more
