“Wish I could have stayed longer”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2013

Beautiful house and grounds, very nice stay. Shower a little small but room was very nice. The twin mattress in my room was a little worn out but other than that liked the place very well. Lynn was nice and I wish I would have had a chance to spend more time in the garden and visiting with the dog... More

“Idyllic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2012

We enjoyed three nights at Angler's return and cannot fault the hospitality shown to us by proprietor Lynn Hill. The B&B is beautifully decorated throughout and the gardens are a joy (particularly since we were 'shown around' by the lovely Bonnie). Breakfast was hearty and delicious and even our late and early starts were catered for. The room was comfortable... More

“A Magical Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2012

I've been here twice now and hope to be going back in the next month. The hostess is quite sweet and accommodating and makes a mean breakfast! Many of the rooms share a beautiful large bathroom that boasts a claw-foot tub. There is one room with its own bathroom if that's a problem for you. Each of the guest rooms... More

“No place better in Connemara”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

Can't say enough about our stay at the Anglers Return. Perfectly situated beside the Ballynahinch river, this is the most peaceful retreat! Of all of the places we stayed, we were happy to have stayed for more than a few days here. The hostess, Lynn Hill, is very accommodating, and very knowledgeable about the area. Gardens are beautiful. Rooms very... More

“A magical place to stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 September 2011

This was my third stay at the Anglers Return and certainly won't be my last. Lynn runs a wonderful guesthouse. The house is overflowing with character and very comfortable. It was lovely to come back after a long hike to a roaring fire in the sitting room. The breakfast is excellent, made with home grown or local produce. Lynn is... More

“Lovely quaint place to stay in Connemara”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2010

We spent a very comfortable and very quiet night here. The Angler's Return is in a wonderful location for travelling around Connemara. The rooms were rather quaint, but very comfortable. Breakfast was good, with fresh fruit compote from the garden, though the cooked 'fry' was not memorable. The garden is wonderful.
