Independent hotels in Clifden, County Galway

"Gorgeous property, stunning views and the pictures really don’t do it justice. Not one but two en-suites - great when you have teenage kids! Mary has thought of everything, there are even comfy chairs by the windows so you can just relax and take in the lovely views. There are fixed tables and benches outside - perfect for watching the sun set with a glass of wine. I can’t remember when I last felt so relaxed.Bedrooms are huge and beds are so comfy. My kids said it was the best sleep they had ever had! Fully equipped kitchen with everything you could possibly need and brilliant to have a washing machine and dishwasher. There are Connemara ponies that come up to say hello when they see you and one day we even had a herd of 4 wild deer by the driveway!!Clifden is only a short drive away, and there you will find everything you need for eating out, shopping etc. Plus some beautiful beaches and Connemara National Park all close by. Mary was always brilliant at getting back to us if we had any questions, not only ahead of our arrival but also whilst we were there. Superb communication.This place really is a slice of Heaven and we can’t wait to come back again."

"Wonderful"

"Lovely quiet and secluded. The area around the lodge is absolutely breathtaking. Breakfast and dinner were lovely as well. We used the lodge as our base for a couple of days of hiking in Connemara and it was perfect! The only issue we had was our room was too hot and we couldn’t find a thermostat to lower the heating, opening windows was not really an option because of insects."

"The hotel was very busy so we expected a nosy night but even with the window open it was a good nights sleep. Nice location with shops within walking distance. "

"Great experience with our stay. The house was very comfortable as was our room. The owner was very friendly and acomidating!"

"This property was perfect for what we were looking for. In town. Easy access and parking. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. The linens and towels were high quality.We only had four in our group, so the size was quite large, but the price is reasonable, and the “dorm room feel” would easily accommodate 8 or more.We had a slight problem finding the unit, but that was because we didn’t read the instructions carefully. There are a few stairs to navigate, so it would not be the right place for those with accessibility issues. Clifden is a great little town. There is plenty to do, with beaches to explore, etc"

"Words cannot express how wonderful this cottage and our stay was! The cottage and the surrounding area are beautiful. (We absolutely loved the kitchen and the views). Our host Liam gave excellent recommendations; we loved horseback riding on the beach and hiking Diamond Hill. The beaches are a must see! Guys Bar in the downtown area had great food and servers. We miss being there and hope to return in the future."

"Absolutely stunning. We had a fantastic time at the Sky Road home, we had everything we needed, Paul was so nice and helpful. Views were stunning each day. We loved walking to the Coffee Corral every day, as well as walking to the castle. "

"Can i give it 6 stars? Great location, friendly warm welcome and exceptional food."
