The Ardagh is a lovely family-run hotel just outside the main streets of Clifden. We were welcomed warmly by the desk staff, and given cake and milk upon arrival (yum!). Beyond our comfortable room, there were several other shared spaces to hang out, including an upstairs alcove with lush plants and a gorgeous view of the water. Breakfast was great as well. It is a great alternative to staying right in town - we were happy for the quiet!

We only stayed one evening, but thoroughly enjoyed it. We were greeted by a lovely woman at the front desk who offered us cakes upon our arrival. She also referred us to a nice place for dinner and music in town that evening.

It has a spectacular view of the water. Wonderful indoor spaces for relaxing, enjoying a fire, and socializing. It is family owned and run, creating a sense of ease and familiarity. Very close to beautiful beaches, and Clifden. As well as Connemara mountains.

Trip during Covid-19
Very warm welcome including cake. I was asked to write my name, email address and telephone number in the book on counter at reception. Same pen appeared to be used by all residents. Book left open on counter at all times so everyone's details were very visible to all. Our room was beautifully decorated with a good view of the garden. It was spacious, with a tiny 19 inch television in the corner. Frustrating. Very comfortable couch with four scatter cushions plus eight more on the bed. They looked lovely but it was a surprise to see them there during Covid-19 restrictions. Very disappointed that none of the lights was strong enough for comfortable reading. Our room was not cleaned during our four-night stay. Not sure if this is recommended due to Covid. We were offered replacement towels only, and after third night we were asked if we wanted vacuuming done. No extra tea/coffee bags offered after first day. Breakfast was excellent. Orders were taken at table for cooked dishes which were really good. Everything else was on buffet table. While residents from one room went to it together, everyone used the same serving spoons, tongs, juice and milk jugs. All in all, we did enjoy our stay.

Great location, good food. Although there was no record of my reservation, luckily they still had a room available. It wasn’t the room with the view I initially reserved, but better then nothing at all. I’m unsure if this was Expedia’s mistake or the hotel’s. Either way I expected some sort of discount or favor. I received neither. Sound travels easy and they need better pillows and linens. The staff was very accommodating, which they should be considering the circumstances. View, location, and food make it worth while. I have stayed in B+B’s for half the cost with better accommodations. You pay for everything to be in one location and with excellent food. I should have mentioned it was my honey moon, but I wasn’t looking for a hand out, just good service.

Hospitality at its best
The location of the hotel is excellent, a real beauty spot. The staff have clearly been really well trained, they know how to sell the benefits of their hotel (food!) and many of the large luxury chains could do well to send their people here to learn how hospitality is really delivered. Located a couple of minutes drive from Clifden, a terrific spot. All in all a great place to stay.

Fine location & food
A hotel of two parts. The restaurant is excellent with the freshess beautifully cooked seafood overlooking a fantastic seascape. The bedrooms, whilst spotlessly clean are showing their age. We booked a jr. suite but it was really a family room for 3.
