“Hillview House – We had a wonderful stay at Hillview House. It is in the perfect location and we were able to explore the area without ever being too far from our base. The house itself was clean and cosy, especially when the stove was lit. Highly recommended!” – John August 2022

Great location!  “I had a comfortable stay at Hillview.  The house was clean and warm.  Jeanie responded very quickly to any questions/requests.  The views are beautiful as it sits between 2 of those gorgeous Connemara mountains.  Few min walk to village. – Gemma June 2022

“We spent a very nice week at Hillview House.  The owner was very caring and provided us with turf for the stove, which made our evenings very enjoyable, even if the larger bedroom remained a bit colder.  Being able to walk to the beautiful Killary Harbour and to the local pubs was definitely a plus. The Wifi connection was very good.  The only thing that could be improved is the number of dishes (especially plates and bowls).  We managed with what was available but it would be easier to have a bit more.  The bathroom washbasin is also a bit small, but it’s ok for a holiday, especially as the shower is spacious and convenient to use.  The location is perfect to explore this wonderful area, and we hope to stay there again in the future!” – Ivane April 2022

“Great cottage with stunning scenery. Easy access to the wilds of Connemara and Mayo. Host v helpful and welcoming and cottage warm and toasty with all facilities for self catering! Full marks!”- Bernie December 2021

“We loved our stay at Hillview House in Leenane.  Upon arrival we were greeted by our terrific host Jeannie, who had already made sure the hose was nice and warm.  It has a nice fireplace, plenty of space to cook and all the facilities we needed to have a great time over Christmas.  It is also at a walking distance from the pubs and restaurants in the town of Leenane, located perfectly in the hills of Connemara.  From Leenane you have great views over the Killary Fjord and you’ll find a couple of nice spots for a pint and/or lunch/dinner.  Within a few minutes’ drive, you’ll be at the Kylemore Abbey or other beautiful locations like the Connemara National Park.  Would highly recommend staying here!” – Bart December 2021

“Amazing location, the house was a five minute walk down to Leenane village and only 20 minutes away from kylemore and diamond hill. The house was lovely and comfortable, with a fire that could be lit with the turf provided and had everything you could possibly need for a couple of nights stay.” – Elaine July 2021
