Very disappointed, to put it mildly, having just booked a stay via telephone, to be told they could not accept the booking as we would be accompanied by a guide dog. "It's a different setup here", I was told. No kidding... not a very politically correct or ethical one.

This is not a true reflection of the situation. At the end of the booking process this lady announced that she had a dog. When it was explained very politely that the situation was not suitable for dogs she cancelled her booking and seemed ok. That a person with a guide dog would insist on having the dog in a... More

Fisherman's Cottage, also called South Aran House, is the perfect spot for lunch. They have two cozy rooms with brightly painted tables and chairs and offer light fare such as delicious fish cakes. Can be a bit hard to find though. We were walking and asked directions, saw one sign, and then almost missed it. It's at the end of... More

Spontaneously, we booked a two day stay on Inishere in January. Together with three other ladies we were the only tourists on the island. However, this amazing B&B made our trip to Inishere so great. Our room was very cozy and clean. The meals(breakfast and dinner) were handmade with a lot of love. by the two owners. After a long... More

Enda and Maria Conneely were by far the best B & B hosts I have ever had during my eight long trips to Ireland over the past 27 years. Breakfast and dinner were eaten there every day during my recent 8 day stay in October 2012. Enda produces gourmet meals that rival the best restaurants. He paid close attention to... More

I was fortunate to stay at the South Aran House on Inis Orr during my recent trip to Ireland. Inir Orr is the smallest of the three Aran Islands and while sometimes the less frequently visited island, it was a spectacular getaway, particularly because of the South Aran House. Maria and Enda are incredible B&B hosts - knowledgeable about the... More

The South Aran house and its companion dining "Fisherman's Cottage" are affordable and friendly. Food was great ! We think the "common room" at the lodging could use a bit more warmth....like something in the former fireplace area, etc. to help acoustics, etc. Overall this is a lovely stay with very helpful hosts. Inisheer is is a magical place and... More

We were very disappointed with our visit to South Aran House. The Aran Islands are pretty but this accommodation was over-priced and much more "hype" than the real Ireland experience. The room was drafty and damp. Another reviewer also mentioned the dampness. We could not get warm. I know Ireland is a windy rainy country but every other B and... More

Having checked our records we strongly suspect that this reviewer did not stay with us at all. From the comments it is obvious that the reviewer is not familiar with the house or with us. They even got both our names wrong. The house is designed for and uses underfloor heating and as such it is virtually impossible for it... More

Maria and Enda are the greatest host and cooks. Enda is a 5th generation native of Inisheer and provides very detailed maps for comtemplative and picturesque walks. Inisheer is just the greatest. Quiet, peaceful, stunningly beautiful. The water is cold but invigorating. Make sure to have your dinners at Fisherman's Cottage, the adjacent restaurant run by Enda and Maria (your... More

The bedrooms are not in the cafe/restaurant they are a 2 minute walk away in a block all on their own, they are very well appointed with lovely linen, only one problem, there are no heated towel rails so we seemed to have permanently wet towels to use, but that didn't get in the way, the breakfast is lovely and...
