The Boat Inn is a nice little downtown tavern inn. It was very nice and quaint, right in the main square of Oughterard. The bar and food were quite good and Rory is a great host. Very knowledgeable and helpful and we had a great Irish breakfast. The heat was broken for a bit at night but they informed us... More

Perfect place to relax after a mucky day at Derroura woods mountain biking! Cosy simple room, yummy chowder, Connemara lamb and a few pints of Guinness in a very welcoming, homey West style type of pub! Followed by a full Irish the next day! Perfect!

We celebrated a 50th birthday and the food was great and the service and hospitality from the staff was first class. I would highly recommend this place. Some of our party stayed in the accommodation and rated it very highly.

I visited The Boat Inn last June with family as part of a fishing weekend to Lough Corrib. It was our first time to that side of the lake and staying in Oughterard. We arrived very late and though the kitchen was closed, the bar staff provided good sandwiches which were really appreciated. The food is really excellent throughout, and... More

We booked the nearby Connemara gateway hotel online and arrived to find it all but closed so were stuck for somewhere to stay for our weekend visit to Oughterard.
