Summary: Our large group of family and friends stayed here for a week and enjoyed the beautiful Drawing Room for morning coffee, cocktail hour and nightcaps (made extra cozy by the fireplace). During the day we enjoyed the nearby lanes and paths that wander through the green and tranquil countryside. There are a lot of attractive and large rooms that are perfect for a large group, but bathrooms (and hot water availability) need updating (some toilet seats were falling off). That said, we'd go back. The only other downside is that it's only convenient to Cong and Ashford Castle. So plan to drive a lot if you'd like to visit other areas/sites. The remoteness was both a plus and minus. The caterer made what we all agreed was the best fish and chips we'd ever had, so plan for at least one meal by them. And you can avoid a drive back to the house after dinner!

Summary: I was initially rather intimidated by the antique perfection as shown on the website photos and wondered if my rambunctious family would leave it intact but very pleasantly surprised to find the house well worn and quirky . It reminded me of staying in a friends home - there was nothing to remind us that it was a rental -family possessions and photos - books and objects all trustingly left around which gave the house a warm and very haopy feel. Very comfortable beds with good linens and pillows and comforters and those extra thoughtful additions like bed warmers and luggage stands - enough hangers and plush towels. Beautiful lined chintz curtains and fitted carpets all added to the warmth & luxury of the house. Very peaceful with lovely view of the lake and spacious grounds to walk - boats and kayaks available and you might get lucky and be able to ride their horses. Our hosts were discreetly close without intruding unless called upon. Housekeeping was frequently offered but only when we required it or a change of linens. they gladly left supper cooked for us the first night as requested and sweetly drove me to the nearest quick store for initial supplies at 8pm. Just an altogether perfect place to stay and entertain our friends We will certainly go back one day. I highly recommend this house for a very large group - spacious kitchen two large living rooms and a library and huge dining room with two big tables equipped for large groups never made it feel overcrowde

Summary: Lisdonagh House is a beautiful property, rich in character. The estate sits in a gorgeous setting overlooking a lake and horse filled pastures. It was a nice option for family getaway. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful in making our stay so nice. Highly recommend using a private chef for a special meal or two. Lots of memories made here!

Summary: The property was beautiful! Such a serene setting. The rooms were comfortable. Obviously, it is an old house so isn’t for you if you are looking for a modern property. The bathrooms were nicely updated and everyone had their own ensuite.

Summary: Perfect location - wonderful views and totally peaceful - for a retreat with a group of friends. The house is very comfortable and has all you need for a great stay and is the perfect base to go exploring Galway and Connemara. Finola is lovely and was very helpful and accommodating throughout - even when we had to cancel once because of COVID!

Summary: Very unique property. Historically relevant. Grand setting. Beautiful views. Great place for a large, multigenerational group. But there are a lot of stairs, would not recommend for elderly. Finola catered a lovely event for us. Highly recommend utilizing her and her staff for events. She was flexible with us even after a issue with a wire transfer...I guess she knew we were good for it. Thanks for helping us put together a once in a life time trip with 4 generations of my family and our family in Ireland!

Summary: We loved our stay at Lisdonagh House. The manor is exquisite and full of history. Plenty of room for our party of 11. The Cookes are fine hosts and wonderful people. We utterly recommend Lisdonagh for memorable reunions and special ways to mark Christmas!
