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.
Honestly I was so impressed by this place. Well proportioned and beautifully styled rooms, lovely common spaces, and ridiculously comfortable beds. Did not expect to have a stay as half as good as this while driving down the West coast, nevermind for as reasonable a price as it was.
Room had extra pillows/towels already stocked if they were needed, and a Nespresso machine and well stocked box of teas/coffees.
Clifden itself was a highlight of our road trip and the hotel is very well positioned to explore the town.
The location is excellent - overlooking Mannin beach, the sea and mountains - its a very picturesque are of Galway/Ireland
Its 10 minutes from Clifden (great Restaurants & Pubs there) and also close to the Roundstone and the fabulous Dogs Bay beach
The breakfast choice was very good and cooked to order.
The staff are really friendly and helpful - there is an onsite Spa service also
The room we had was really large - it had 2 bedrooms and a separate living room with TV
The hotel is in the centre of Cliften very convenient to all Cliften has to offer and close to the sky road beautiful looped walk 15 minute drive to Connemara national park one af the most scenic areas of Ireland ihave ever visited staying thank to all the staff Witt alcock and brown made everything so easy would recommend this hotel to any one for a relaxing stay thanks you to all staff especially Sasha and nightporter james
The cottage is picturesquely and conveniently located just outside the town of Clifden. It's location (just off the main road) means you have easy access to the Westport - Galway Road, as well as to the town, without all the traffic noise. The bedrooms are a good size and comfortable and the kitchen and utility are adequately equipped for short stays, where guests are likely to eat out a portion of the time.
The property is brilliantly maintained and is warm and welcoming. Everything is clean, the rooms and ensuites are sparkling and the breakfast was excellent. It was February and the heating was very evidently on which made for a really comfortable stay. The facilities are better than many hotels. The property is very close to, but not on, the main social area of Clifden. There is car parking as well.
Receptionist (didn't catch her name) on Friday evening who arranged an additional night's stay (despite the hotel being full) for my two rooms was super helpful and very pleasant to deal with, great attitude.
Room was very clean with housekeeping doing a great job!
Very convenient for Clifden town centre and parking good.
Keeping my bike in my room was permitted and appreciated.
Spacious n comfortable room with nice view of the garden. The breakfasts were fantastic and delicious. We got the table near the window and enjoyed the bay views. Services were courteous and timely. Convenient and nice parking in front of the hotel. The lounges and sunroom are very nicely decorated. It's definitely a nice place to stay for a couple of days or more.
It was a great place to stay for visiting Connemara and Clifden. It is just a few minutes' drive out of Clifden, but out in the country. There was plenty of parking and the rooms were nice and big. The breakfast was outstanding the next morning. The omelet was cooked to perfection. Overall, a great place to stay, especially if you have a car.
Lidie (our host) was so helpful and knowledgeable about the area, with excellent recommendations on where to have dinner and what to see the next day. Room and bed were very good, in an excellent, picturesque location just outside Clifden. A very good breakfast had the next morning. A definite recommendation to stay on west coast of Ireland.
Hillside Lodge was a perfect B&B with a wonderful room, delicious breakfast, and fantastic location! Being on the sky road right outside of Clifden was amazing and there is even a bonus castle to explore right across the road that is amazing. We would definitely come back and stay at Hillside Lodge! Stuart was wonderful!
Excellent property near the town and looking on to the Station House hotel courtyard so we felt part of the action yet still on our own. Lovely cafe "Steam" in the courtyard as well ad other shops. Spotlessly clean and, while we didn't cook, there was everything one needed for a great stay
This was a fun place to explore Clifden from. We biked most days and enjoyed the house when we were home. one thing to know is it is located only 10 minutes from town but it’s a steep hill to climb if you are walking. we found it healthy after dinner and music.
Absolutely amazing experience with Ben View guesthouse. Desmond was so helpful and the whole stay was so lovely. Right in the heart of Clifden and you can walk anywhere. We will be staying here again if we travel back to Ireland in the future.
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.
Beautiful hotel, right in the centre of Clifden, perfect location. Lovely open fire to greet you on arrival, lovely friendly staff. Fantastic breakfast, freshly cooked, & plenty of it. Will certainly go back.
Everything about this place was great, from the location and the design of the place to the people working there. We had the best evening in Clifden and an even better breakfast at the hotel on the next morning.
Location was perfect! Within walking distance of shops and main Street of Clifden which has everything you need! Beautiful, spacious terrace with scenic views over the sea. Highly recommend!
