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.

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.
