About The Boat Inn
The Boat Inn, situated in the very heart of Oughterard has been known since the fair days as a place to gather for the banter, barter and craic. The Boat Inn provides a centre of attraction for get togethers while also providing superior service and entertainment for all its patrons.
Offering affordable accommodation for exploring Oughterard, Connemara, or Galway City, our B&B rooms offer the budget-conscious visitor to Connemara a good night’s sleep—plus bar and restaurant under the one roof.
Guests have access to our private garden through the Function Room, as well as secure cycle lockup in the back.
Cork native Adrian O’Connor, proprietor of The Boat Inn, understands the importance of good service and quality food, having served many years in the hotel industry. His strong management team, including himself (Manager) and great team of local staff, all with accomplished backgrounds in the service industry, help Adrian work tirelessly to provide top quality customer relations, the best in Irish hospitality, and delicious food.
