Claim this listingStaying in Claremorris
A busy market town in south Mayo, midway between Galway and Sligo, with good rail links and Knock Shrine and Airport close by.
Claremorris is a commercial hub for south Mayo rather than a tourist town in its own right, a market town with a working main street, a good spread of shops and pubs, and Clare Lake and McMahon Park on its edge for a walk or a picnic. That makes it a practical, well-connected base rather than a scenic one, useful if you’re travelling by rail or want easy access to Knock.
The town is known locally for coarse fishing on Clare Lake and the nearby loughs, and it hosts a long-running annual art exhibition and drama festival at the Town Hall Theatre. Knock Shrine, one of Ireland’s major pilgrimage sites, and Ireland West Airport Knock are both a short drive away, and the Clogher Heritage Complex nearby has a restored famine-era cottage and monastic remains.
Things to do near Valley Lodge
Knock Shrine
One of Ireland’s most visited pilgrimage sites, about 20 minutes from Claremorris, marking the reported apparition of 1879, with a large basilica and visitor centre.

A lakeside park on the edge of town with walking paths, angling spots and a large timber playground, popular with families and a pleasant spot for a stroll.
Coarse fishing
Claremorris is well known among anglers for coarse fishing on Clare Lake and the surrounding loughs, and for wild brown trout on the River Robe just outside town.

Booking Valley Lodge direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Valley Lodge holds a 3-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
