Currarevagh house is a gracious early Victorian Manor House Hotel, set in 160 acres of parkland and woodland bordering on Lough Corrib. Built by the Hodgson Family in 1842, 100 metres from the original house, it is presently run by Harry and June Hodgson and has been open to guests for over 60 years.

Currarevagh (pronounced "Curra-reeva") still retains the atmosphere of a bygone age where the emphasis is on old-fashioned hospitality and service. While the Manor House is little changed from its original layout, all fifteen guest bedrooms have private bathrooms with bath and/or shower each with hairdryers.

A lavish Edwardian breakfast is laid out on the dining-room sideboard each morning and in the evening a five-course dinner is served, after which coffee can be had in one of the large comfortable sitting-rooms in front of open peat fires. For those who want to eat at midday, light snack-lunches are available or, alternatively, guests can try one of Currarevagh's famous picnics. Afternoon tea, served in the drawing-room, is a well known ritual enjoyed by many.

Currarevagh has been winner of a number of awards but most coveted is "The Cesar Award" of the "Good Hotel Guide" for "The Quintessence of Irish Hospitality".

With a cuisine based on fresh, local produce, the Currarevagh Manor House Hotel has gained many accolades in the better known hotel and food guides, as well as the International press, for it's classically simple menus based on local food. There is a well chosen Wine List and the small bar is also licensed to sell beer and spirits.
