Nice room, a little on the small side but fantastic views out over Kilkieran Bay and well located to stay before visiting Aran Island as only 35 minute drive from ferry terminal. Host Barbara was a lovely lady and provided a great breakfast.

This was the best place in terms of hospitality! Barbara was a great hostess, who made us feel like home. The house was full of guests (we met some Italian and French) but it did not interfere with our rest at all... We only noticed we had company at breakfast time! Breakfast was everything we expected and more. A true... More

We stay for two nights and it was perfect. Barbara and Patrick are excellent hosts. It´s feel like home and we love it. Great breakfast and lovely view from our room. We slept peacefully. Connemara is wonderful and must be experienced. Nice to end the day to sit down and relax by the fireplace. Thank you Barbara for your hospitality... More

Barbara & Patrick are excellent hosts and you are home away from home at their B&B!!! Very accommodating, great breakfast and some of the most beautiful and panoramic views. Our family enjoyed our stay with them and would recommend them to anyone!!!

We really enjoyed Hillside House. It's got a beautiful quiet location with fantastic views and Barbara and Patrick could not have been more welcoming. Barbara produced excellent soup, sandwiches and scones when we arrived tired and hungry in the evening and then provided an exquisite breakfast. Thoroughly recommended!

Barbara was very welcoming and a great host. We got a tour of the house, met the donkeys and were quickly on our way to exploring Ireland. We slept peacefully and breakfast was hearty and delicious. Absolutely no complaints.
