The staff were all so lovely. The food was great and were provided generous portion sizes. The rooms provide everything that you need and you cannot better the view. Highly recommend and would certainly return. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/89E3EC4240E701D4C65A735A2B8EEF0D0FCF25AF1635613344137.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C6E6644C42C64B8C1F63DDF4F184650A2A281AD31635613338599.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CD759D676496BEE304F917FFFA4190C5680E5CBF1635613344712.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lydia Stayed 1 night in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanna 13 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful stay! We had a lovely stay at Gougane Barra Hotel. Everyone working there was super helpful, friendly and attentive. Unfortunately we had only booked one night - but will definitely return - and hopefully soon! ##### Joanna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This hotel is in an absolutely breathtaking area.It is a traditional family run hotel which prides itself in good old fashioned friendliness with guests becoming friends! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Set in beautiful surroundings, lovely friendly and helpful staff. Food is fabulous! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay 28 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Love this lakeside gem! This is a truly special place nestled right on a lake with an abundance of hiking trails. The hotel also has a restaurant and the food is incredible. This would be a three-star property and the price reflects that it doesn't have the frills and updates of higher-end accommodations. I would recommend this charming hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful respite away from the hustle and bustle of cities. ##### Lindsay Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louis 7 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Petit bijou Accueil chaleureux.

Julien greeted us at reception and couldn't do enough for us, from insisting on getting our bags to our room (a couple of times and in a nice manner), asking us did we have a dinner booking and then turning up in the bar to ask were we being served, and then providing a map of local walks - fab service. The room was clean, cosy and comfortable with a great view of the lake. We noticed the toiletries were eco-friendly, were of superior quality and better than any hotel we had stayed in recently, The restaurant was fantastic - great John the, Prawns and Scallops - what a dish, never mind my starter of prawns in parsley butter sauce and our other starter of 3-ways melon and sorbet. Fantastic all the way and the setting is beautiful too. Jane our waitress was very helpful and capable. The bar in the hotel is ultra cosy and comfortable and Neil, the owner, was a very amicable attendant while respecting peoples privacy at the same time. One point is the hand-dryers in the bar toilets need updating. We are already thinking of meeting friends there again as soon as we can - this unassuming hotel from the outside is a gem. Told all my work colleagues, who had all been to the area, but were unaware of the beauty of the hotel inside. Apart from the hotel there are also beautiful walks within a couple of minutes, to a 6th century hermitage, a National Forest Park others - brilliant for a pre-dinner stroll. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1747-p1e526800-70c7-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s292-p39619760-70c7-11e8-90f5-02426f8ac431-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s330-p1ec8f790-70c7-11e8-9e2f-02427cbe7472-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s722-p0cec8f40-70c8-11e8-9e2f-02427cbe7472-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Niall Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice 10 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful area and the hotel is very nice and quaint.
