In a quiet corner of Clifden, this quiet haven of rich comfort and classic Irish hospitality is just 93 steps from the vibrant buzz of Clifden town centre.

Great location as a base for exploring Connemara. Staff helpful and friendly. Bed was super comfy. My partner is celiac and they were able to accommodate her for breakfast. They had gluten free cornflakes and bread.

Buttermilk Lodge is 5 minutes' walk from Clifden town centre, so you can just park your car and easily walk to town.

Large warm and spacious apartment, very well equipped and comfortable beds. Great location - within walking distance of Clifden and nearby sights. Home baking and welcome pack on arrival. Will hopefully revisit.

Offering a terrace and garden view, Dan O'Hara Farmhouse B&B is set in Clifden, 12 km from Alcock & Brown Memorial and 26 km from Kylemore Abbey.

The breakfast was cooked to order, thus it was very fresh and hot, much better than a buffet. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the history of Connemara video and museum and especially the walk to the original cottage, even in Storm Ashley!

    Stunning location with total peace and quiet, yet within a 10 minute drive of shops, restaurants etc. Charming, hospitable hosts, always available but never intrusive, Kornelija and Daniel include everything you could possibly want for a relaxed and comfortable stay, including breakfast provisions. Don't hesitate- you won't be disappointed.

    Phyllis is a wonderful host! Everything worked out fine for us, the charming familiy room, the hot shower after a showery day, the delicious dinner and rich breakfast. The location close to Galway provides a quiet countryside atmosphere.
