EXCELLENTVerified Wonderful People The folks at Kilmurvey House will go out of their way for guests. We experienced it time and time again. They are kind hearted and helpful. The meals have been incredible and they can accommodate gluten free requirements. We should be so lucky to come back and stay with them again. Thank you!! Highly recommend.Posted onVerified Super Family Experience in Kilmurvey House My wife, one year old and I spent 3 days in Inishmore and had a wonderful experience staying in Kilmurvey House. We had a spacious family room with views across the island including Kilmurvey beach. The breakfast and hospitality was fantastic throughout. Selecting breakfast from a well thought out menu with various options as well your traditional full Irish was a treat each morning. The pick up service from the ferry was very helpful and gives you a great sense of the island as you travel the high or low road to Kilmurvey House. We also availed of this in the evenings so we could sample the food that Kilronan (main village) had to offer. We spent time on Kilmurvey beach and also took a trip up to Dún Aonghasa which is located right next to the Kilmurvey House. There are various places to buy coffee, pastries, local products minutes from the door. Our favourite place for lunch each day was the Aran Seafood Cafe, which is an outdoor eatery with some cover, the main selling point are its specials of locally caught fish that day. We look forward to returning to Kilmurvey House in the future. Go raibh míle maith agaibh.Posted onVerified A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE I first visited Kilmurvey House since 2018 with my sister Anne. We returned in 2019 and again last year and this year bringing more sisters with us. It is an amazing place to stay, made all the more enjoyable by the generous hospitality of Treasa and Bert. Thank you Noel for all the correspondence and for accommodating the various changes in our schedule. Go raibh míle mhaith agaibh. Slán agus beannacht. Béimid ar ais arís on Samhraidh 2025, le cúnamh Dé.Posted onVerified Irish charm to discover the island of Înis mor The Welcome is really warm in this beautiful building with comfortable charm and offering the best breakfast in Ireland; everything contributes to making it an ideal base to discover the largest island of Aran. To choose without hesitationPosted onVerified Lovely bed and breakfast! Lovely, clean bed and breakfast with lots of common space for relaxing. We heard a lovely harp concert by Anu here. She was fantastic! The location is perfect for biking or walking to sites nearby. The staff are very warm and welcoming. Perfect place to stay on Inishmore.Posted onVerified Great place to stay w e recently returned from a two night break at Kilmurvey House . This is a great place to stay . Although it is a considerable distance from Kilronan , the owner , Noel , regularly does runs into town, meaning the distance is not a issue. If you are staying overnight on the island , this is definitley the place to stay . It is also excellent value for money Thoroughly recommendedPosted onVerified Definitely worth a stay! Don’t worry that this place seems remote - it’s terrific. The hosts (Noel and Tessa) run a shuttle twice a day into the port town of Kilronan, so you can get on to pick up a tour, bikes, or your ferry. The rooms are invitingly comfortable and there are several common spaces - a tv room, game room, and a large room with tea, coffee and crackers all day. We always stay in B&Bs, and the breakfast here is the best we’ve ever experienced. And it’s at the foot of Dun Angus for your hiking pleasure!Posted onVerified No car or bike? No problem! We found Kilmurvey House by accident after there had been a mixup with our booking at a B&B in the village of Kilronan. It turns out to have been a happy accident, as I don't think we could have had better or more gracious hosts than Noel and Tessa with support from Noel's parents. If the weather turns foul, there is an ample library and plenty of board games to keep you happily occupied. Our family room was spotless and commodious, the beds comfortable, and the breakfast was outstanding. (Don't miss the berry yogurt compote, with homemade granola!) The location at the (literal) base of Dun Angus is beyond convenient, with a small number of shops and coffee/tea houses immediately nearby. The staff run regular shuttles into Kilronan for shopping/pub/restaurant/ferry access, which made the combination of amenities unbeatable in every aspect. Cannot recommend this facility strongly enough.Posted onVerified A great family run hotel. Hire a bicycle straight from the ferry and peddle for around 20mins and you will find this place. This a family run place that’s 3rd generation and as such offers a warm and friendly place to stay. Rooms are large and comfortable, set within either the old hotel or the new extension. Breakfast is a home cooked feast and a perfect way to start the day. The evening meals are a thing of the past, replacing that option is a courtesy shuttle bus into town. The big attraction here is the friendly, approachable and relaxed service. The family are a joy and much banter will be exchanged. Highly recommendedPosted onVerified Highly recommend, perfectly located Had the pleasure of staying here with my wife recently. Very comfortable, lovely menu selection and friendly family. Located foothill of fort Dún Aonghasa, 5 min walk to the beach, short bike ride to most sites, beautiful scenery. Family kindly arrange transport to village in the evenings and to the ferry. Highly recommend staying here, as are we again next year. 😀 Irrespective of weather forecast, bring some light clothes as weather is warmer then main land
