Clifden Bay Lodge B&B on Lower Sky Rd is a wonderful place to stay. My Mom and I spent a week touring South and West Ireland so stayed in many places and Frédérique’s home was exceptional. It was easy to find and the views of the countryside and water were breathtaking. Her home is right on the Sky Loop which is A MUST DO! She met us at the door and helped with luggage which is always a plus. My Mom is 83 and Frédérique was thoughtful enough to place us in a downstairs room. The decor was an adorable French Chic, and lovely trad Irish music playing in the background. Frédérique gave us great options for dinner and pubs that played live trad music. The accommodations were very comfortable and spotless clean. The highlight besides the views and hospitality was Frédérique’s amazing breakfast! She prepared a gourmet Irish breakfast which included homemade everything; variety of bread, blueberry muffins, fresh fruit and juice, black and white pudding, sausage, ham, fried egg, sautéed mushrooms and baked tomato, of course tea and coffee also provided. It was truly outstanding! I just can’t say enough great things about this place except I didn’t want to leave. Clifden is a great town with everything you could want and Frédérique made it extra special with her wonderful touches!
