    Received a lovely welcome and check in experience with hostess Lydie, and she included very helpful tips for navigating the area. Very spacious, comfortable room and stellar views over the lake. Easy access to downtown Clifden and Sky Road. Lovely stay, including breakfast the next morning. The pancakes are wonderful!

    No issues whatsoever.

    I really enjoyed arriving at this peaceful and beautiful location. Then, meeting Lydie and Pierre was a joy. Lydie is excellent at explaining things very clearly and I absolutely loved my room - very French decor. The view of the bay from my bedroom was lovely. Extremely comfortable bed, a fantastic sleep, and the breakfast was excellent. There was a wide choice of cereals, including several healthy options, followed by choices of cooked breakfast. Twelve guests arrived for breakfast at a similar time, and I was really impressed with how smoothly and cheerfully Lydie served us all. I thought the house rules were very appropriate and I liked the request for being quiet from 10pm. I would love to return one day.

    On our first night, there was a snorer (presumably a man) in the next room who made so much noise it was very difficult to get to sleep. However, I'm not sure what our Landlady could have done about that in the middle of the night!

    The room was very comfortable, good size, with a great view. The owner greeted us warmly, showed us to our room and explained all the details we had to know (breakfast, locking the front door, etc). The location is wonderful , right off the Sky Loop Road with amazing views of the bay not far from Clifden. We had a great breakfast the next morning before continuing our trip.

    Thin walls so you and other guests could hear each other, moving around, talking...so one did not feel totally relaxed. Breakfast was low par, limited options....not great if you are a vegetarian. However, it is advised that you tell your host upon arrival of any dietary requirements you have so these can be catered for.

    Great location, wonderful view, nice clean room, and a our French host Liddy was very warm, welcoming and friendly.
