Detailed Reviews
I was lucky to get accommodated here as the owners were looking after Ukrainian refugees in the rest of the property but kept a self-catering apartment for me, although I'd only paid for b&b. Ingredients were provided for me to make my own breakfast and I got to use the kitchen facilities for my evening meal. Leim Siar is in the village of Blacksod from where you can walk around the end of the Mullet Peninsula - I particularly recommend An Port Mor Beach.

We just enjoyed two wonderful days in Belmullet/ Blacksod , being spoiled by Hanna at her B&B. Wondeful cooking, a comfortable and spacious room, great informative chats about the region, nature and more. We even, via Hanna, found a long lost friend whom we went to visit...to everyone's great joy. We will be back...

I stumbled upon Leim Siar while trawling the net to find places to stay on our trip around the west coast - so glad I did! The room was extremely comfortable, clean and warm, with a stunning view out over Blacksod Bay. Hannah is a fantastic host, brimming with enthusiasm for this beautiful area and gave us some great pointers to make the most of our short stay in the area. On top of all that, she is a wonderful cook, very kindly treating me to some delicious gluten free potato bread during my stay - hers was the best breakfast we had in 8 nights in Ireland. If you're looking for a comfortable B&B, in a beautiful location, where you'll be treated like a friend the minute you walk in the door, then I can't recommend Leim Siar highly enough. It's well worth the slight detour to the far reaches of the Wild Atlantic Way.

If you are looking for a very remote location, like walking & peace & quiet, then this B&B may suit you. It did not suit us. Whilst room was clean and tidy, it lacked the expected tea & coffee making facilities in the room, however our host Hannah offered use of the communal dining room. Just not the same. We arrived quite late after booking well in advance and were met by two young French girls who showed us to the room. They spoke only broken English and offered very basic advice about the room. Hannah was busy at the time but did greet us.
Despite many attempts, the Wi-Fi did not work. Bed was too hard for our liking. Some minor maintenance issues such as vanity basin light not working and bed head not attached to the bed and clothes hanger in robe leaning precariously askew.
Ensuite did not provide sufficient shelf space for two lots of toiletry bags, so the floor had to suffice.
Ambience was quite "clinical" more akin to a small Aussie motel rather than the expected Irish homely B&B.
Hannah was polite and informative, but didn't seem to like us getting up early on Sunday morning to continue our journey - not the "Irish way". She was quite critical of our modus operandi of late-in and early-out so we could see as much of Ireland during our short holiday.
Hannah did cook a lovely breakfast including traditional Irish black pudding; an interesting taste sensation.
At €40 per person per night we did not get value for money.
Unlikely we would return again.

This is a very good, clean, functional b and b in a very remote part of Mayo, Blacksod Bay. The room was clean and suited us three perfectly. The hospitality was a bit strange; I think the hostess was under a bit of pressure and although she welcomed us and made us a pot of tea, her behaviour was a bit odd. As all the other reviewers seem to find her great I will have to assume she was not firing on all cylinders - maybe it was a bad day. Breakfast made up for it; freshly cooked and very generous it was delicious; we were inundated with offers of extra everything. I would very much recommend this B and B but if you are wearing fake tan, don't admit to it!

This was my second trip to Ireland and arguably the most beautiful place I have stayed. Located on a quiet peninsula where Gaelic is still spoken the location makes you feel as if you are truly in the old country and not on the tourist tract. I was traveling with my mother and 2 year old. The owner Hannah goes above and beyond to ensure you have a great stay. Even gave my child a copy of the little gingerbread man which is still one of her favorite books. Clean spacious rooms with views of the ocean. Keep in mind Belmullet is about 15-20 minutes away and is the nearest service hub so stop for groceries or eat dinner before you drive down if you don't want to head back into town that night. Give yourself two nights to explore the beaches and cliff walks of peninsula. Highly recommended.

Stayed in Leim Siar for 2 nights as my daughter was attending the local Collaiste Uisce. I found the B&B to be clean, fresh, comfortable and perfect for what we required. Hannah was so warm and friendly. Full of great information of what to do in the local area. The breakfast was superb with plenty to choose from. The drive from Dublin is a long drive and would recommend at least a two night stay rather than trying to do all in a day. This was our daughters first trip to the Gaeltacht great to get down, see her so happy. Una's bar 3 doors down was also a plus. We will be back.

Leim Sar is in possibly the most beautiful location ever, just around the corner from Blacksod lighthouse and pier and overlooking Achill Island. It's a modern building with everything you need.
If it's walking, cycling, fishing you're after, this is where you need to be. There are boat trips out to the Island's too and Belmullet is just 17km away. The beaches around here are just as good as you'd see in the Caribbean, but without many people on them...
Hannah is the most welcoming host, you don't feel like you're in a B&B, you feel like you're in her home and are made to feel very welcome. I've never met a B&B owner who make running a business so effortless, it's like you're part of the family. A good cup of tea, scone and a chat are always available from the very friendly and helpful hostess with the mostess at Leim Sar.

My husband joined me for a "chat meet" at Leim Siar just two weeks ago. He was a bit reluctant to make the trip since the folks we were meeting were all on-line friends that he'd never "known" the way I did. Getting just a wee bit turned around on our trip from Northern Island to the west coast did nothing to ease his concern; nor did the fact that it seemed we would run out of land and end up in the Atlantic before finding the actual location. :) However, all that was eased immediately upon arrival when Hannah greeted us both as if we were lifelong friends. In fact, we felt more like family than friends. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable and the meals were some of the best we've ever eaten. Hannah and her staff went out of their way more times than I can count to help us have a real "Irish" experience, even arranging for me to attend church with one of Hannah's friends and his wife, and driving us to the golf course (10 miles away) so my husband could see an Irish "links" course. Traditional music on Friday night at Una's, just down the road was another special treat...and Hannah accompanied us, making us feel like locals! She arranged for us to take a tour of the historical lighthouse and invited the lighthouse keeper and his wife (who may be a long lost relative to my husband) to the B&B so we would have a chance to get to know them. I'm rambling, I suppose...but I can't seem to stop. If you're looking for wild night life this is not the place to go. But if you want to experience a bit of old Ireland...and still have all the modern conveniences...with the most congenial of hosts...the Leim Siar B&B is the place for you! It was certainly the place for us!
