    The hotel was lovely with beautiful decor and an excellent location. Rachel made us feel very welcome and the breakfasts she provided were amazing. Would definitely recommend this property.

    The bedside lamp was difficult to access from the bed and because there was no street lights the room was very dark at night.

    Property response:

    Thank you and glad you enjoyed your stay. If you had mentioned to me you needed more light, I would have happily provided additional lamps to you!!! There is also nightlights in all the rooms to provide a little light if guests need it, to help during the night!

    Breakfasts were excellent…great selection. Location for our needs very good. Size of room, comfort of the bed(s), and space for parking also great. Rachel was also extremely helpful providing lots of information about the area.

    I had such a wonderful stay here! Rachael is an exceptional host — she went above and beyond, even washing & ironing my clothes for a wedding!! The rooms were extremely comfortable and the breakfast was perfect every morning, with a great variety of food and a lovely pot of tea waiting for me. The location is ideal too, just a stone’s throw from the beautiful village of Cong. Whether for a short visit or a longer trip, I couldn’t recommend this B&B highly enough!

    Property response:

    Thank you so much and was an absolute pleasure to host you here at Salmon Weir Lodge. Glad you enjoyed your stay, the wedding and catching up with old friends. Come back any time!!

    Short walk into Cong. Ideally suited for exploring Connemara and surrounding area. Friendly host.

    Busy road during day if walking into Cong. There was no footpath as you stepped out of the gate. Host does warn you about being careful.

    This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The accommodation was absolutely charming and beautifully furnished throughout. Everything felt new and was spotlessly clean, which made for a very comfortable stay. Our host Rachel deserves special mention - she was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Her hospitality really made the difference, we insider got travel tips almost every day. The breakfast was a particular highlight and definitely not your standard Irish breakfast. Rachel surprised us with something different each day, which was a delightful touch that we really appreciated.

    Thank you so much and it was a pleasure to have you here and glad you enjoyed your stay. You were a delight to host and very easy to communicate with.

    It is a cosy house with and interior design that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. It is really close to the center of Cong, within walkingdistance. The hostess is very serviceminded, kind welcoming, easy to talk to and accomodating. The beds are comfortable and the room was clean and fresh. The breakfast was excellent with a variation of food every day. I would highly reccomend staying there.

    Everything is beyond 5 star at Salmon Weir. Rachel is an incredible host and takes such care to make sure everything is perfect - very comfy beds, lovely linens and towels, home made wonderful breakfast - such a fantastic spread to be greeted with in the morning and so much choice. It's very easy to walk into the village which is only a few minutes away. Best kept secret in Cong - we will definitely be back. Thank you so much for looking after us Rachel, Harley and Susie xx

    There was nothing not to like about the Salmon Weir Lodge, the hostess was very warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped through the front entrance, at every opportunity she would engage you in conversation, making sure your needs were well catered for, the rooms are spick and Span creating a lovely ambience throughout the building, the breakfast selection presented you with a spoilt for choice, wide abundance of breakfast delights, regrettably our stay was shorter than we would have liked, but we have every intention of making a return visit in the very near future ----- Many many thank you's Rachel, for all those little personal touches you provided!

    We had a great stay! The family room was the perfect size for our group, and Rachael was knowledgeable on recommendations for activities in the area. Loved that it was right on the water and walking distance from town - we went to the pubs for music in the evenings. We also enjoyed the varying (and large!) breakfast spreads each day. Breakfasts were shared at a communal table, which was great for creating conversation between groups. Rachael was super accommodating of the dietary restrictions of one member of our party.

    Nothing!

    The window in the room let in so much light.

    Cheese and ham would have been nice at breakfast to make a toastie.

    Property response:

    I don’t know what satisfaction people get out of lying and being so negative. These guests arrived and seemed happy when they seen the room and the space. The room was impeccably clean, like all my rooms and you can see that by my reviews. These guests left the room with food under the bed, on the window sill and on the carpets. There is a window in the room that is oddly shaped and can’t get window coverings to fit. I explained to the guests how they could block out the light if they wanted to, but I guess they didn’t follow the instructions as I could see from the window where they didn’t correctly block out the light. They asked for a fan, which I provided as the weather was warm and one of the women explained that 3 of them were going through menopause. These conditions, are out of my control, if these affected the “comfort” level. They also knew when they booked the room the bed situation! If the room let in too much light, I don’t know why they didn’t mention it to me after the first night stay, and I could have helped them fix that problem. Each morning they commented that they slept very well and everything was great!!With regards to breakfast, I offer an extensive array of choices and they seemed happy with all of it. Again, I’m not a mind reader, so if they wanted ham and cheese, they should have asked and I would have been happy to provide that to them! Anything they asked for, I accommodated them with. As for value, there were 4 adults which worked out at less than €45 each per night per guest. Not sure where you could stay for that price with breakfast and in a highly tourist area as Cong. Think even camping is more than that!!! I don’t know why these guests have to lie to you in person and say everything is wonderful, and then turn around and leave such a negative review.

    It was difficult to get out of the driveway without feeling like we might be hit.

    Everything was perfect. The facility is beautiful. The outdoor garden areas were quite relaxing. The room was very comfortable. The common areas were welcoming and Rachael was a perfectly delightful host. The breakfast has to be seen to be believed. Amazingly extensive and extraordinarily delicious. Everything was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. We would consider another trip to Ireland just to spend a few more days here.

    Not a thing. Perfect in every way

    Rachael was a wonderful host and the breakfast each morning was superb. Rachael provided a lot of extra advice about places to visit in the region and her tips made for a memorable trip to County Mayo. The bed and breakfast is great value for money and has a comfortable sitting room with tea and coffee making facilities for guests.
