Kilmurvey House Inis Mór is a historic guest house on the western side of Inis Mór, close to Dún Aonghasa and Kilmurvey Beach. It is a particularly good base if the island’s heritage sites and quieter western landscape are more important to you than staying beside the ferry.
A historic island guest house
The property is an eighteenth-century stone house that has operated as guest accommodation for generations. It combines the character of an older island house with modern ensuite rooms.
Rooms and breakfast
Kilmurvey House offers fifteen ensuite rooms, with breakfast included. The room mix includes single, double, twin and triple options, making it suitable for couples, solo travellers and small groups.
Location near Dún Aonghasa
The location is one of its biggest strengths. Dún Aonghasa is close by, and Kilmurvey Beach is also within easy reach. That makes it possible to explore this part of the island without starting every day from Kilronan.
Getting back to Kilronan
The guest house provides scheduled transport connections to the village, which is useful for dinner or for reaching the ferry. Check the current arrangement when booking because island transport can change seasonally.
What is included in the stay?
Kilmurvey House currently lists 15 ensuite rooms across the historic house and a newer wing, with single, double, twin and triple room types. Breakfast is included. The guest house also advertises morning and evening shuttle connections with Kilronan, an important detail if you want to stay on the quieter western side without relying on a bicycle for every trip.
Why the western location matters
This is one of the most useful bases for visitors whose priority is Dún Aonghasa, Kilmurvey Beach and the western half of the island. It changes the shape of an overnight itinerary: instead of cycling out from Kilronan and back in the same day, you can spend more time around Kilmurvey and use the village shuttle when needed. Our Inis Mór attractions guide helps build the rest of the route.
