I challenge anyone to find a more scenic, convenient location from which to explore Clifden and Connemara, or a more helpful, generous host than Pat to help them do it. Pat clearly put immense thought and care into restoring and finishing the house and entire property, and in doing so created a true vacation oasis located literally just a small bridge/ 5 minutes’ walk away from “downtown” Clifden. With Pat’s expert local guidance, you can explore the many fantastic restaurants, pubs and bars of Clifden or head out of town for lovely river or beach walks or lunch in one of the lovely nearby towns, like Roundstone. I had a perfect few days by the waterfall (the soothing sound of which put me to sleep instantly each night), and I can’t imagine staying anywhere else the next time I’m in the area!!
