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.

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.
