The owners Monique and Stephane, and their son Serge, made our stay very special. Upon arrival, Monique filled us in on all the wonderful things available to do in Clifden. They made everything perfect for us and we're very grateful.
The cottage we stayed in was behind the hotel, which made it very convenient for us. The fireplace, bathrooms and kitchen were well stocked. The beds and furniture were extremely comfortable, and we loved everything about the cottage. The owners kept it spotless for us too while we were there.
The view from the backyard was wonderful, and we were lucky to see a couple of amazing sunsets while there.
The cottage is very close to the town, which made it very easy for us to go to shops, restaurants and pubs. Stephane gave us a list of cab drivers, in case we wanted to drink at the pubs. Very handy indeed!
One of the special features about the cottage is it being so close to the hotel. The hotel boasts a large but intimate lounge area and bar. The restaurant (with a great view too) was A++!! We highly recommend Monique's homemade brown bread and chowder, but all of their soups and food were outstanding. They even served fresh vegetables from their garden. One night while having dinner upstairs, we watched a stunning sunset while eating our delicious food!
Thank you Monique, Stephane and Serge for allowing us to enjoy a little piece of your heaven for 12 days! It is a trip we will always remember fondly because of you. We were very sad to leave!
