We loved this apartment. Set in a beautiful spot on the bay a short walk from the restaurants and shops, it’s a great spot to enjoy Clifden and all that Connemara has to offer.
Was looking for a central location to explore the Connemara area - this was it. An extra bonus was to find a grocery next door and that the entire village was walking distance. Would be happy to return
A very well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean apartment in a beautiful location close to all amenities. Only downside is no dedicated parking but there is free street parking nearby.
We had a quick 2 night stay- definitely could have stayed much longer! The apartment was cozy, spacious and perfect for us. Especially enjoyed the patio and water views. Fun pubs with live music in walking distance. Hiked Diamond upper and lower loop trail. We hope to come back some day!! Go to Griffins to see Jack O'Reilly!
We were impressed with the view, the appartment was clean and very well equipped. Very quiet even though it's on a busier street, everything is within walking distance, free parking on the street just in front.
There are some stairs to get to the rental, but it's clearly stated in the VRBO description, so we knew about it.
Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment offered enough space for our family of 4. The location is perfect! Less than a minute to Clifden’s village center. Our only issue was with the water pressure in the master shower, the shower stopped running when water was being used elsewhere in the apartment. We let the property management company know, so hopefully that will be fixed.

Great find super location well equipped apartment!
The apartment is right in the town with a main supermarket right next door. Yet it’s not busy and its own entrance at the back makes for a peaceful setting overlooking the water. The apartment itself is very spacious and the master room is super with a hotel standard bed. We never had an issue finding a space across the street to park (September). Our little dog loved the gated garden. We will be back!

Perfect!
This property is one of the nicest self-catering, pet-friendly holiday homes we have ever stayed in.
It was spotlessly clean and the various food goodies left for us were very much appreciated. The kitchen is modern (eye-level oven, grill and microwave) and very well equipped. There is enough cupboard room to store one's own provisions.
The sitting-room is not a separate room (as one might think looking at the photo on the property's webpage) but continues on from the kitchen and has its own sliding door opening out to the terrace. The TV worked without any problems and offers all the usual channels plus the Sky ones.
The bedrooms are spacious and the beds (lovely bedlinen) very comfortable. Enough good quality towels were left on the beds and some toiletries provided in the bathroom and the en-suite bathroom. The shower in the en-suite is powerful. There are also heaters in the bathrooms.
The central heating worked very well and it was cosily warm throughout the apartment.
The terrace is large and the view over to the harbour just lovely. There is outdoor seating and it would be very nice to sit out in good weather.
The property is very nicely furnished and it was certainly with the comfort of the visitor upmost in the mind of the owner.
The location of the apartment is just superb! It's only about 100 metres to the very good SuperValu and the town centre with the shops, restaurants and pubs is just a few more steps away.
There is no dedicated parking spot for the apartment and although the reserved spaces were not occupied during our stay we did not park in any of them but found a place across the road.
The only small drawback is the flight of steps down/up to/from the apartment but we managed fine.
We truly enjoyed our stay in this property and will definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay and would stay again in a heartbeat!
The place is bigger than you think from the pictures which made it comfortable for us to stay. The view is nice of the water and perfectly located to the town.
Lovely space, very central to restaurants and bars in Clifden. Definitely recommend based on the strength of the location!

Great Apartment
Really enjoyed our stay for 5 days. Beautiful apartment right in town. Close to all the shops and pubs, as well as Connemara National Park, Sky Road, beach road, etc.
Lovely, spacious property overlooking the water 2 buildings down from the grocery store - so was very easy to stock the fridge with breakfast and lunch essentials. Easy to walk to all Clifden town pubs, restaurants and cafes. Felt safe, was clean, on a quiet street and we appreciated the washing machine, provided area guides, printed house rules and "how to" booklet and cookies and milk in the fridge upon arrival. This apartment has one of the best water views in Clifden.
Toller Ort um Connemara zu erkunden. Die Lage ist super auch was Einkaufen und Abendgestaltung angeht. Alles in wenigen Schritten zu erreichen. Einige Geräte in der Küche sind etwas in die Jahre.Parkplatz fehlt.

Nice appartment
Appartement grand et agréable. Chambres spacieuses. Cuisine bien équipée. Belle terrasse et très belle vue.
Par contre, la pompe à eau est très bruyante et cela est très désagréable. Il faut donc l'éteindre la nuit et la rallumer le matin.
L'appartement est très bien placé en plein centre et un supermarché à 2 min. à pieds.

Fantastic location and welcome items
The location is fabulous. The apartment was warm and cosy and the welcome items were a lovely treat. We had everything we needed such as dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid so we didn’t have to go out to shop to find these. I would love to return in summer one year.

Clifden holiday apartment
There were lots of steps down to the apartment making it difficult to get luggage to and from the apt. We were lucky there was a parking space available during our stay but there is no allocated space for the property. We felt the property needed a good deep clean and rugs cleaned/replaced. Other than that the apartment was basic and it would take very little effort /expense to make it much more comfortable.

Best place to stay in Clifden
We really enjoyed our stay and can warmly recommend the apartment.
(only for people without mobility problems, because of the stairs down to the entry)
(+) Large, well-divided apartment
(+) quiet
(+) central
(++) large terrace with a beautiful view
(-) non
The only thing that we missed a little was a little piece of rain-protected space on the terrace (umbrella, awning)
