Our stay in Clifden was magical from the outset! Antoinette and Eamonn made us feel so incredibly welcome and treated us like family. Their generosity of time and spirit was second to none and the house is a genuine reflection of them both as hosts and as people. The fire was roaring upon arrival and a care package including fruit and bread set the tone for the start of our week in Clifden.

And the house - well the house is absolutely beautiful! It is the perfect place for a winter escape or a summer retreat for a couple or a family. Everything in the township of Clifden is within a 5 minute walk - local restaurants, cafes, pubs and supermarkets. Clifden is also the perfect launching pad to explore the beauty of Connemara (Letterfrack, Kylemore Abbey and Roundstone being our favourites).

The house was in immaculate condition: wifi worked perfectly, the kitchen is fully equipped with all a budding chef could desire and stocked with an extensive range of more than just your basic condiments (tea, coffee, cooking oils, etc.) The showers were excellent, the heating perfect, the wood fire made for an ideal accompaniment to a cold winter's evening. Antoinette also provides a wealth of information about the area including an extensive guide to local walks. On clear days we were able to enjoy some of these.

It was such a pleasure to be able to stay here. Antoinette and Eamonn take a pride in the house and the area that makes the stay such a genuinely rich experience. We could not recommend this propertly highly enough and hope to be able to return the next time we are in Ireland.
