We thoroughly loved our time in Clifden, especially the cool old-world elegance of the Ben View. Everything was meticulous from the check-in process to being sure that we knew everything we needed to know about the room, its amenities, and breakfast details. The breakfasts were stellar, fresh, and beyond delicious. The biggest treat of all was every single interaction with Des (we never saw Eileen). He’s got a heart of gold, seems to memorize every guest’s names after one introduction, and gave us great tips on where to go and when…all delivered with huge amounts of warmth and dry hilarity.
We couldn’t recommend this place highly enough!
