Patrick and Cathriona are the perfect example of real assets amongst the famous Irish hospitality. I just can’t recommend their house highly enough to discerning people. If Connemara has a lot to offer on its own, it also certainly has Patrick and Cathriona guesthouse, their hospitality, benvolence and kindness and it would be a real shame to miss out and not stopping at their place. Simple as that. The accodomation situation, facilities, room comfort and equipments, breakfast, cleanliness, quietness and organisaton are perfect and spot-on. For every euro spent, I easily received 10. In a nutshell : stopping by at their house for few nights or making it a base in Clifden while visiting parts of Connemara areas is a no-brainer. Thank you very much .

Honestly I was so impressed by this place. Well proportioned and beautifully styled rooms, lovely common spaces, and ridiculously comfortable beds. Did not expect to have a stay as half as good as this while driving down the West coast, nevermind for as reasonable a price as it was. Room had extra pillows/towels already stocked if they were needed, and a Nespresso machine and well stocked box of teas/coffees. Clifden itself was a highlight of our road trip and the hotel is very well positioned to explore the town.
