Abbeyglen Castle Hotel is "the" place to stay in Clifden, Connemara if you want a warm, friendly atmosphere with two owners Paul and Brian who do everything to make sure all their guests are happy and enjoying their stay. The Airbnb Economy Room #3 was perfect for me, a quiet room at the end of the hallway, with all the amenities of the larger rooms, just smaller in size without a view. This was fine with me as I was out most of the time enjoying the lively scene within Abbeyglen or exploring the amazing beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way.....don't miss the "tropical" beaches with pure white sand and crystal clear blue waters, even if a bit chilly.......My room had a huge soaking tub, waterfall shower, heater, iron, comfy double bed, tea service, 2 bottles of water, sparkling and still, a terry cloth robe, extra towels, TV......All the amenities of a 4 star hotel....without the price. This is an amazing value......includes a huge buffet Irish breakfast, tea and scones at 4:30 pm, sparkling wine with salmon appetizers, and a lively bar scene after 10pm.
The food is outstanding....I had the special entre each night for 20 Euros in the elegant dining room, and was totally satisfied without other courses as the portions were more than ample. There are two other Airbnb Economy Rooms: #2 is the smallest, and #1 has the best window view. All are an outstanding value for what you get, just don't expect and big room, and for what you get you shouldn't, as what is offered is amazing value. I had a most wonderful 5 night stay and can't wait to return.
