My wife and I spent a fortnight here with our 2 young children, at the start of the holiday the eldest who is used to hotels couldn’t get the concept of Airbnb, after a few days she had made a U-turn on that view and was glad we landed upon Gleann Aoibheann which is about 1.5k from the Centre of Clifden. It is situated on a beautiful 2 acre garden on a really nice coast road that also boasts a wonderful playground. You will struggle to find a better base for a trip to Connemara both logisitcally and in terms of comfort. The historic, well-appointed house is full charm, built initially in 1820 is a real treat. The occupier host Breandan, a very friendly accommodating man, is passionate and knowledgeable about all things Connemara and Clifden and provides great insight on what to do and where to go. Also, with Clifden right on your doorstep, there is a good variety of restaurants to choose from and shops to visit.
