10/10 super central and cosy guesthouse in Clifden. Super location, clean rooms, fast wifi and the Nespresso machines in the room were a welcome surprise. The kitchen and entrance are getting a refurb but its a minor quibble, it looks exciting . The wine bar will open in July but the space is free to use for guests and is a really cool, chill space. Really friendly local owner who gave us some local tips on the hidden gems of Connemara . 10/10

It was an overnight stay. We left early next morning. The staff stayed late because we were delayed getting there. Overall the experience was great

Because the premises are sited so centrally in Clifden sited as it is back from the main street the accommodation was both very convenient for all types of shopping and dining yet also very quiet at night.

Staff was great, very accommodating, helpful, and friendly. Went out of their way a couple of times to help us out when we needed help.

Le bar à vin qui se trouve à l'entrée du bâtiment est très sympathique, et nous avons eu la bonne surprise d'entendre une playlist de chansons françaises au petit déjeuner le lendemain matin (l'effet Michel Sardou?). Personnel très sympathique!

Arrivée, du mal à trouver la porte d'entrée, puis avons trouvé une personne qui faisait des travaux et nous a appelé le propriétaire., personnes sympathiques. Chambre spacieuse , salle de bain un peu vieillotte (cabine de douche en état moyen) Par contre , une cafetière et de quoi faire du thé ! Merci à vous pour cette nuitée.

Accueil parfait, la jeune fille à l'accueil naturel, sympathique et pleine de bon conseils, les places de parking sont nombreuses à proximité immédiate de l'établissement pour un prix extrêmement attractif (1.40€ pour 18h de stationnement), la chambre était propre et les lits confortables

Entrance took a minute to find as no clear sign outside... Place obviously being renovated, which is fine as it didn't affect my stay in any way.. I checked in and because I was getting back late, they said I could sleep in longer than usual check out time, which I appreciated a lot.. Room looks like it had been renovated too, so that was good.. Read some older reviews that were not favorable but they seem to have addressed those issues... Room was clean, cozy and comfortable.. Shower was great.. Very powerful, which is always good.. Location was great and plenty of street parking.. My room did not include breakfast but good place across street... All over a good experience..

This property is in the main street, Market Street, and so close to everything. Parking is on the main street in a Pay and Display park. The rooms are at the back so relatively quiet. Our beds were comfortable and our bathroom was clean and roomy. We didn't have breakfast so I can't comment. Ivan was friendly and helpful with information and recommendations for dinner.
