Loved the quaint little town and the shops, restaurants and pubs available to us. Also, the grocery store was very well stocked and the SPAR there had laundry facilities that we so badly needed to use.

Plenty of excellent restaurants in Clifden from mid-price to expensive. Great coffee and snacks available at very reasonable prices. Good shopping and excellent craft/art/souvenir shops in the town. Beautiful Church with small but sincere congregation. Lovely clean town, adequate parking available.

There is so much to see. I'm a walker and we were able to access many great walks - mountain, sea and forest walks. We had a car to get to locations. Good location for exploring Connemara. Fabulous scenery. Plenty places to eat in the evenings.

A beautiful area in the National Park.
A beautiful area in the National Park. The little town centre was quite vibrant for such a remote area and lots of independent cafes and shops It was possible to do manageable walks (even for us oldies)

Cliftden was great with plenty of places to eat and drink.
Cliftden was great with plenty of places to eat and drink. There is a very well stocked supermarket in the town and the surroundings were very clean and well maintained. Getting a local taxi was a bit of a problem so we had to drive everywhere, which didn't allow us to have a drink in the town as our accommadation was about 3 miles outside the village.
I’m so thankful there was a room available! I happened to book the morning prior to my stay- I was really winging it on this trip. I love my stay at the Old Exchange. Clifden was one of my favorite stops on my vacation. Mari was great…super hospitable but not helicoptering. She has a sweet dining area that I met a few other guests in, and had some great conversation. It’s close enough to everything happening in the immediate town area…the room was quiet, comfortable, cute! 10/10 would & will stay again!
Quaint and clean B&B, decorated with cute cows throughout (Buttermilk theme 😀). Catriona was helpful and gracious. The Irish breakfast was absolutely delicious (probably the best we had in Ireland) and the staff went above and beyond in serving. Easy walk into town for dinner and shopping. Spent our first two nights in Ireland here and thoroughly enjoyed. Took a day trip to Inishbofin which we highly recommend. It's a ferry ride away.
Thank you, Catriona for a lovely stay!
Hillside Lodge was the perfect place to stay while we were visiting splendid Clifden and the surrounding magical area. Ruth was a fantastic host, kind and helpful. Our room #6 was cozy and large, twice the size of a standard hotel room with a full living room area and sectional sofa. The breakfast was delicious, healthy and made to order. We have nothing but positive things to say about this wonderful experience. Book now!
Perfect accommodation located a short walk outside of Clifden town. The house has everything you need with spacious comfortable rooms. The walk to Clifden has street lighting and footpaths the whole way into town. We stayed for the connamarathon. We were able to get the bus to the start line a short walk from the house.
views over the bay are stunning, definitely worth getting a room at the front of the hotel…
food top class - delicious breakfast, amazing seafood in both the bar & restaurant…
incredibly friendly staff, hotel is comfortably immaculate…
pet friendly & extremely accommodating
great location, on the outskirts of Clifden…
Sharamore House is a beautiful property located a few miles outside Clifden on the main road. The property is very pretty, and our room was spacious, with a bay window overlooking Omey Island. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we wish we had been able to stay for more than one night. Clifden is a lovely town.
..Im going to say it as it is....
It is the bestest.comfiest.place ive stayed for years.ive stayed in hundreds of bb.hotels etc...this is NO1 by million miles. Ashford castle will rob you.but for sleep and comforts.BEST IN IRELAND..
And trust me.here your sleep like never before.
FORGET THE REST AND BOOK THE BEST
Spacious accommodation and quiet, near the approach to Clifden Bay. We didn't have time to use the woodstove or the kitchen, but we would have been comfortable here for an extended stay. One of our party said as we approached, I hope this is it (and because of what it looked like, not because tired).
Foyles hotel is the most welcoming , authentically Irish place of hospitality that one could find in the west of Ireland. The staff are amazingly helpful & genuinely warm and professional. I was sick in bed for 24 hours and they brought my food to my room so I could be comfortable etc.
The location, including the drive from Clifden, is breathtaking! The hotel is clean and modern with a nice spa and restaurant. We enjoyed dinner at the on-site restaurant and the breakfast. The food is fresh and locally sourced.
This is a fantasic hotel right on the main street in Clifden. There are so many cosy places to sit and relax, the restaurant is excellent, and the staff were superb. We felt so relaxed and comfortable afer a two night stay.
The hotel is right in the centre of Clifden , wouldn’t have picked a better hotel to stay in! The hotel room was the nicest room I’ve ever stayed in, had a smart tv and the loveliest bathroom and shower.
The hotel is nice, it has a decent pool, beds were really comfy, the staff was very helpful. Clifden is a perfect location for any Connemara adventures. Food in the Carriage Restaurant was excellent.
Donna, our hostess, was a delight! She recommended we take an after dinner (in Clifden) drive along the Sky Drive. Wow, was she ever right! A gorgeous way to watch the end of another amazing day.
The full Irish breakfast was delicious and worthy of a 5 stars hotel. The room was spacious and very well fitted out. The house is next to Clifden, Roundstone and all the trails of Connemara.
Brilliant location in the heart of Clifden. Room was great with separate bedroom and living area. Very quiet in the evening despite Ireland playing off in rugby World Cup.
Supreme hospitality, outstanding breakfast, and perfect location! You will never be welcomed at a hotel the way Des and crew make you feel welcome at Ben View!
