Our host, Patricia welcomed us warmly on arrival. We were upgraded to a family room upstairs which was roomy for the two of us. The ensuite was spotless and the bed very comfortable. Patricia cooked us lovely hot breakfasts plus there were plenty of Continental Breakfast options available. We would definitely stay there again if in the area.

We had a very pleasant stay. Patricia is delightful and gave great recommendations for area attractions
A lovely property to stay at. Great and friendly service. The local pub serves great food. Please be aware that it is not walking distance to the nearest village due to the lack of a footpath alongside the road.
Patricia was so welcoming and attentive. She guided us to local shopping and Lough Corrib. Breakfast was filling. The rooms were spotless and quiet. The local area is gorgeous.
Patricia was a wonderful host and greeted us immdeiately upon entry. The inn is perfect for a stay in the Irish countryside. Breakfast was fantastic and, again, Patricia demonstrated the epitome of service, We certainly highly recommend this lovely B B!
We enjoyed this stay....clean, convenient, tissues and glasses in the bathroom, excellent mini irish breakfast. Would stay again!

Staff was lovely and the area is beautiful but we ended up changing where we stayed because of the age/ non cleanliness of the room and the age/ sag of the mattress
We had a great stay at the Mountain View Guesthouse! The house and room were very clean and well decorated, it felt very homey. Patricia was friendly and helpful when making plans around the area. Patricia also prepared a delicious full Irish breakfast! I would definitely recommend staying here!
Patricia was amazing. She was welcoming and knowledgeable about all of Ireland and not just her area. She shared many places of interest that enhanced our this part of our journey. We will definitely be back!!!! Thank you so much for the beautiful Irish memories. Priceless!❤️☘️
Greeted with friendliest welcome. Everything was perfect including made to order cooked breakfast. Host provided great recommendations where to eat and visit.
Very nice bed & breakfast with our own bathroom connected to the room. Rooms are a little on the small side but comfortable. It was a cold, rainy day & when we asked about the heat we were told it was off for the summer but hostess graciously turned it on so that we could get warmed up. Very pleasant hostess who welcomed us & suggested a restaurant nearby for dinner (Powers Thatch Bar & Restaurant) which was excellent. Breakfast was home cooked by hostess & good variety. Don’t book here if you’re going to be late arriving. Last checkin is 7pm. We thought we might be late & called ahead. Hostess was gracious & told us not to worry as traffic in Galway can be a problem. We did make it before 7pm, though.
We stayed at Mountain View while driving around Ireland. The residence was clean and well kept, Patricia the owner was very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast options were great including healthier options. Would def recommend.
