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.

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!
The location is on sky road and the view on the sea and the other peninsulas is fantastic, even through a window in the roof. One is at the far end of Europe. Yet the town of Clifden is 12 minutes away and it has plenty of pubs, and the festival in september. It is the optimal place to stay a few days to visit all Connemara
Catriona has been very attentive to our needs , indications to find the house, breakfast, and very kind.
The hosts are very kind and welcoming. I loved the super comfortable and huge bed, and the water pressure in the shower is amazing! Great breakfast. It’s a quick walk into town. Overall this is a very cute and cozy B&B.
Also, I forgot my jacket during my stay and the hosts arranged for it to be brought to me at my next hotel the following day. They really care about their guests!! Wish I could have stayed more nights.
The Ardagh Hotel is exceptional its such a homely relaxed and fantastic experience. From the lovely greeting you get with even the kettle been put on for us to the gorgeous meal in the restaurant to the fabulous breakfast the next morning. The scenic views are excellent and the lovely Bruce the dog made is very special. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and definitely we will be back.
Staff very friendly. Great location except parking can be awkward. We were lucky to get a space outside on the road which was free from 6pm to 11am. Probably the best value hotel in Clifden as it was a busy time in August. At its best when their restaurant is serving food. Was closed due to Covid restrictions.
Beds very comfortable. Continental breakfast very nice.
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.
We loved the personal family vibe to the hotel which was encapsulated by the personal greeting given by the family dog Roxy in the lobby each day. The breakfast was excellent. Service was excellent and just really enjoyed our stay here. Would highly recommend staying at this hotel for anyone staying in the Clifden area.
..Im going to say it as it is....

FORGET THE REST AND BOOK THE BEST
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
Really enjoyed our 1 night stay at this beautiful house!Rooms are very clean,cosy and comfortable with a great view. Breakfast was excellent with best scrambled eggs in Ireland :) The owner are very welcoming,kindly and helpful. Best place to stay in Clifden.
Outstanding hotel. The staff, amenities, food and location are a dream. In one day I walked the "Clifden Castle" ate delicious Sole, listened to live music and saw a pristine Irish beach. This is a very special place.
We were very pleasantly surprised by the size and comfort of our double room.
The fact that the hotel is in a very quiet location and at the same time almost in the centre of Clifden was a real bonus.
It's a beautiful part of Ireland and Ballyconnelly is near Clifden for shops, restaurants and pubs. The scenery on the coastline has so many inlets, rocks and mountains it is just amazing.
This was a great location in Clifden and we found an excellent pub with traditional music just around the corner. The host let us put our bikes into her office for safe storage.
Loely spot in the centre of Clifden. Rooms are nice and warm. Great restaurant and lovely pub attached to the hotel. Staff are friendly and look after you!
