Delphi Lodge

I want to live there! Everything was perfect. Hosts couldn't have been nicer.food is sublime. Great tea! I would book for dinner! Fishing superb. The best place to stay in Connemara. Walks, lake view room, amazing bath, reading nooks, swell bar.

Waterfall self catering cottage in the grounds of Delphi Lodge is exactly that. Two seating decks beside fast flowing. Very soothing. Slept 7 adults in 4 bedrooms. Beds comfortable, Dining can be had in Lodge as can breakfast. We seven dined there each evening to a changing menu. Dinner and wines were of the highest standard. Service was excellent. All guests share the banquet length table and eat at the same time. Excellent and professional staff. Would recommend for anyone who wants an escape from city living. Lodge takes its geographical position in a valley. Or as we say in Dublin “the back **** of nowhere”.

Had a fabulous stay in this beautiful lodge, really peaceful and gorgeous views all around! Philip and all the staff welcomed us from the beginning and really looked after us througout. The food and wine is exceptional and dining at the big table with other guests was a great experience, finished off nicely with a drink in the lounge by the fire. Delphi lodge is a really unique experience and highly recommended for a peaceful escape!

Fabulous country house. Great credit to the team who maintain the highest standards throughout. Warm welcome, very comfortably bedrooms, great food and drink in an exectional beautiful location. Dinner at the long table with other guests completes a wonderful 'country lodge' experience. Highly recommended.

Delphi Lodge is a gem in the stirring landscape of Connemara. From the moment Philip greeted us at the front door, we were made welcome and comfortable. The behind-the-scenes running of Delphi Lodge is surely smooth and faultless. For guest, everything works; everyone smiles; and the food and drinks are simply outstanding. Gathering for dinner in the evening around the long dining table was an experience to be savoured, as we compared convivial notes with other guests, drawn from near and far. (Geraldine took great care of us.) A pre-breakfast swim with new friends in the lough was bracing: a perfect preparation for a day exploring Connemara. We left determined to return. On a practical note, we felt that the sheer quality of the Delphi Lodge experience was excellent value for money.

This is Ireland, pure and simple. A warm greeting upon our arrival by Mary. No request was too small (and there were many). The Fishery and Estate Manager, David, a true gentleman, was helpful with all of our fishing needs and more. He has a great way with children and his two pups were great fun for them. The food was excellent (five stars). So fresh. All from local farms. We were a family of eight ranging from eight years old to 77. The staff took very good care of us. They made all of us feel so much at home. An almost two hundred years old lodge enhances this storybook location with a natural beauty beyond comparison. This is a bucket list location, believe me.
