Fourth time staying here. Always a good stay. Clean and well-appointed suites with a nice ocean view. Kitchen is sufficiently setup/stocked if you want to cook your own meals. Lots to do on the grounds (good facilities) and a short walk to the beach. Beach is really lovely. Really nice gift shop on site too.

I had such a relaxing stay at Tigh-Na-Mara! I was impressed that despite the size of the property, it remained incredibly quiet and peaceful throughout my visit. The scenery is absolutely stunning—being right there on the ocean is a total highlight. The Grotto Spa was an experience unlike any other; I’m already planning my next trip back just for that.

Friendly and very efficient staff. We didn't wait at all for checkin and checkout. Anytime we asked for something from the front desk it would be delivered to our room within 10 minutes. The rooms were clean and well stocked, the the property itself was beautiful and had a lot of amenities we enjoyed including the pool, hot tub, playground, and direct beach access. We had a wonderful time here!

We stayed one night in a waterfront view room, 1st level with a balcony. Very nice area, walking distance to the beach. Room was nice and cosey, bathroom a bit on the small size. Nice kitchen with all essentials. Large sitting area and dining table, accommodates easily 3 to 4 persons, with one closed bedroom and the murphy bed in the livingroom. Staff is kicecand cordial. Cedars restaurant for breakfast and dinner onsitebys great akso.

Check-in was a breeze thanks to Tyler—our one-bedroom unit, with a kitchen that faced the water and was very comfortable. We've stayed at Tigh na Mara before, it is a beautiful hotel with cabins, pool, hot tub and workout area. The number of trees surrounding the site makes you feel like you are really in nature with the comforts of home.
