Pros: Very clean and very good breakfast.

Pros: The view was incredible, staff very helpful, breakfast delicious, dogs super cute!!

Pros: This place is incredibly well run and organized -- everything has been thought of. It's not a luxurious accommodation, but it's very comfortable and if we are ever in Clifden again, we will most certainly stay here. The breakfast is exceptionally good and in addition to the cold offerings, hot breakfasts are cooked to order. The pancakes with fruit and maple syrup are fantastic.

Cons: Everything was excellent.

Pros: I had the most fantastic trip to Connemara, and staying at Buttermilk Lodge was one of the highlights of my trip to Ireland. Cathriona and Patrick were both incredibly hospitable, kind and welcoming, which was especially appreciated since I was travelling alone. The house is immaculate but so cosy too, and as well as an incredible view from my bedroom window, the vista upon leaving the guest house each morning took my breath away too! Special mention must be made of the wonderful breakfast, and Cathriona's utterly delicious homemade breads, and of course their adorable dog. I had a great time in Clifden, which will live long in the memory, and Buttermilk is the perfect location, being just a short walk from the main streets in the town. Thanks for a brilliant stay Cathriona and Patrick, I can't wait to come back!

Cons: Can't fault anything!

Pros: Excellent breakfast with good gluten free options!

Pros: Breakfast was amazing, pretty views, very clean room.

Pros: The breakfast was fabulous! The location is stunning, peaceful and beautiful views across the water. Lydie is very welcoming and makes you feel right at home. A great stay!

Cons: The bathroom flooring could do with replacing, it was a bit tacky. Milk on the breakfast tables would be helpful, so that one doesn't have to keep getting up to use the milk from the buffet. The jams were great but we did miss marmalade. Small details easily rectified and did not affect our overall experience at all! We loved our stay!

Pros: Great breakfast. Comfortable bed. Lovely host

Cons: Too many rules on a list. We missed a shelf for the suitcase. And one hour (8:30 - 9:30) for having a breakfast is too short.

Pros: Everything excellent

Pros: Very good stay, very clean room, very good breakfast and very nice host. Only a few minutes walk to the towncentre, where you can listen to fantastic musicians playing lovely trad music. The only negative with this stay, was a terrible duvet. But it's not the first and only stay with a terrible duvet: It's mostly all over. Back home in Norway, most people use a very light down duvet, and it's heaven compare to this thick and heavy blanket which feels like a ton on the feet.

Cons: Terrible duvet.

Cons: Nothing.

Our room was lovely, clean and modern with fabulous views and a super comfy bed. It was the most relaxing place I stayed in on my travels. Everyone I met there was lovely from staff to fellow travelers. Big bonus also it is pet friendly and their dog Bruce( who is a babe) is there to greet you. I could not recommend this place enough. Top class!!

Cons: I loved everything!

Pros: All food was excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. The lounge and bar was very comfortable. Small upstairs sitting area was comfortable too. Great views from all sea side rooms.

Cons: Nothing! We chose the cheaper room which didn’t have a sea view but was very comfortable.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable

Cons: Food was ridiculous price and ridiculous menu for normal people travelling sole fish €42 We had 2 cold meat salads and with our bill we reckoned we were charged €25 each we could not make up the bill any other way We won't be back

Pros: Super location with wonderful views. It was lovely to just sit and watch the weather come rolling in, in the comfort of the cosy lounge.

Cons: Our shower could have been a little warmer

Pros: The bed was very comfortable and had a lovely view of the garden from our bedroom. Our bedroom was a satisfactory size, bathroom a little small but lounge areas were beautifully decorated, comfortable and spacious. A good breakfast enjoyed, efficient, friendly staff Dinner in restaurant very nice, on the pricey side though however the value of the Aussie dollar does not help! Lovely views from restaurant. A wonderful stay overall!

Pros: Position - though care required when exiting car park!

Cons: Food good if a bit pricey. Alternative bar food menu more reasonable but only available until 7pm.

Pros: We travelled around Western Ireland seeking adventures along the Wild Atlantic Way. The Ardagh was by far our favorite accommodation!

Bruce the dog was a pleasant highlight, and when you are here, you feel you are in the heart of everything that is magical about Ireland.

Cons: Not a thing!

Pros: Very relaxing place

Pros: The location was beautiful... Sunset over the water ...which you could see from our room...the clearness and quality of room were outstanding.... Would love the go back again.

Cons: No elevator ...my partner is disabled.

Pros: Was disappointed with the dinner. Place was fab

Cons: Meal itself

Pros: It's out of this world. Everything is just perfect.

Pros: Exceptionally friendly and attentive staff in luxurious surroundings. This hotel has lots of old fashioned charm and a really pleasant ambience. The room was a lot more expensive than I would usually pay but after a 10 hour mountain hike I really appreciated the luxury. Best breakfast I've had in a hotel in a long time.

Cons: A free spa with swimming pool would be nice but the beautiful garden and surrounding landscape compensate for this.

Pros: Convenient location at the very beginning of absolutely stunning Sky Road and a few mins walk away from Clifden with its charming bars and restaurants

Cons: Lots of people here complained about facilities being dated and I was expecting to find a bit of a shabby chic situation in a beautiful historical environment. However the reality is much more prosaic, it simply is a 1970s-style drab motel rammed into a not that old manor house (the ‘castle’ was actually built in the 19 century however most of the stuff inside looks like it was purchased recently at flea markets). Mind boggles how management failed to invest resources into redesigning the space and inviting some exciting Irish chefs to make its restaurant a stand-alone destination given such a stiff competition from a nearby town.. a shame given its prime location and a sense of promise.

Pros: Staff very hospitable, we had fun at this beautiful location.

Cons: Hot towel rails would be nice

Pros: Everything was wonderful the place was first class and the staff was really nice and friendly could not of asked for better

Pros: Beautiful scenery and location, room was very nice

Cons: Food was not good at all.

Pros: One of the best vacation stays of my life. It was my wife's birthday and we celebrated with champagne and cake - a delightful experience. We'll be re-visiting as a part of our usual Ireland vacation schedule from now on.

Cons: We only stayed a few days to try it out. This was a mistake. The property is lovely and somehow, enhanced, by absolutely delightful staff. The owners there were engaging.

Pros: Very comfortable. Loved being able to have a bath! All the extra touches like the afternoon tea and champagne at 6.00 made the stay a little bit special

Cons: Nothing.. everything was great.

Pros: Every member of staff was wonderful......friendly and helpful. We loved the champagne reception.....an excellent idea to get the guests to mingle. We met some lovely people from Germany, Texas and New Zealand. Brian's very humourous info re the history of Clifden was thoroughly entertaining!!

Cons: Can't think of anything to write here....except to add to the above that the food was excellent!!

Pros: Comfortable bed and a bathroom with a bath as well as an overhead shower. Didn't get to use the leisure facilities and pool etc. Breakfast staff very cheerful and pleasant.

Cons: Feels like a chain hotel, nothing charming about it or its location not quite in the heart of Clifden.

Pros: Breakfast very nice Staff very helpful

Cons: The house band were poor enough.

Pros: Friendly staff, good breakfast

Cons: Slightly rundown in parts but it’s ok. Solid 3*

Cons: No hot water for a shower at night. In the bar there was music but you had to pay in €8 So we went to another bar.

Pros: Irish Breakfast was fantastic. Bed very comfy.

Cons: Lots of stair to room.

Pros: The food is always excellent and the staff are just lovely! This is the best location in Clifden. Beautiful shops are very close to the hotel. And of course, the pubs are really fun with great food and staff.

Pros: The choice of food available for breakfast was absolutely super. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and nothing was too much for them to do if you asked. The dining room itself is spacious and the atmosphere is lovely. I was really impressed with the homemade nature of the fruits and preserves and the overall impression was of a family-run place which cares rather than the impersonal nature of many bigger hotels. Can't wait to stay there again.

Pros: Great small old school hotel

Pros: I loved this hotel, because it felt so authentic - like once upon a time guests arrived in horses and carriages. Obviously, it's been updated a good few times since back in the day, but you know you've found a treasure when you walk into a hotel building that has original and graceful character and ambience. Foyles was friendly, genteel, genuine, spacious and was decorated very appropriately and there was a lovely breakfast room and a lovely dining room.

Cons: Like pretty much every hotel even in a higher price bracket, the sealant and grouting around the bath etc would benefit from a deep clean. In fact, although I enjoyed our ensuite bathroom with a lovely big window for natural light at the front of the building, it could do with a makeover. But then the price would go up; you pays your money, you takes your choice.......

Pros: Breakfast was excellent

Pros: Warm welcome, beautiful house, spacious rooms, high quality accommodation, lovely breakfast with menu options cooked to perfection. A few minutes walk from lovely town of Clifden with lots of bars, restaurants, live music etc.

Pros: I had a wonderful stay at the All the Twos!! Beautiful house, calm and quiet, absolutely lovely hosts and staff, very good breakfast!! Would definitely recommend it!!!

Cons: It was quite a drive to get into town.

Pros: The setting of this B&B was amazing. The view out of our window was of an inlet of water and the rugged surrounding area. The owner, Martin, and his daughter could not have been more welcoming and friendly. There was a wonderful walk along the waterway that we loved before dinner. Martin suggested we go to Cleggen for dinner which we did and had delicious dinner. Our morning breakfast was great and very filling. We would definitely come back here again!

Pros: Such a lovely place with lovely staff. We arrived and then took a long walk in the area which was so beautiful. And the breakfast the morning after was perfect:)

Pros: Host very helpful. Place very central.

Pros: peace and quiet

Cons: The service could have been friendlier.

Pros: centralised location

Cons: Service on first day, very unwelcoming. However this did seem to improve. Only one member of staffwas present throughout our stay, subsequently they appeared to be rushed off their feet. At breakfast we had to wait and wait to be served as this member of staff was all alone. We stayed for two nights, during which time our room was not cleaned, mugs remained unwashed, tea and coffee not replenished. This b and b was cheap however you would at least expect the basics to be takn care of.

Pros: In clifden center, cant argue with that. Not the worst places we've stayed in by far.

Pros: Everything was very easy and the breakfast was great.!

Cons:

Pros: Very convenient to town centre

Cons: This is a very basic guesthouse at a high price. 50 euro per double room would be more appropriate. The shower pressure was pathetic. Be careful at chech out, they converted my bill to my own currency without asking which added another 3.5% to an already too high bill.

Pros: We've been warmly welcomed even if we arrived very late in the evening!Beds are very comfortable !!!

Cons: The family room is a little too small ... ok for one nighy, but too small for a longer stay.

Pros: The breakfast was ok and staff very friendly

Cons: the room was too small for a double and single bed & bathroom needs a shelf for washbag

Pros: We were made to feel very welcome. Nothing was too much trouble for the owner

Cons:

Pros: Spotlessly clean. Lovely quiet location. Very comfortable. Would definitely recommend without hesitation 10/10

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Immaculate rental. Very comfortable and clean. Short stroll to town to access all the local amenities, bars and restaurants or shops. Parking available on site.

Cons: Nothing not to like about this place. Host was on hand but didn’t need to trouble them as everything was there.

Pros: We had a fantastic 3 night stay. The hosts were so friendly and it was extremely clean. It was like we were the first people ever to stay! It was so spacious especially with kids and the facilities were super, much more than we expected. You can't go wrong here for a great stay in Clifden.

Pros: We were very impressed with the apartment. It is really big, well renovated, and so clean! The kitchenette is one of the best equipped ones we had during our stay in Ireland. We even had a range of spices and herbs at our disposal. It is located just at the edge of Clifden, in a very calm neighbourhood and at the same time it is close to the city center. We would definitely come back to stay here.

Pros: Lovely appartement, near the centre of the town , but in a green area very quiet. It has everthing you need. And Anita is very nice.

Pros: Very warm comfortable stay, spacious apartment ideal for a family stay

Cons: Windows not ideal for children

Pros: Staff were excellent . Lovely breakfast

Pros: breakfast was extra, and as I am not a big breakfast eater it was too expensive. I am just a coffee and toast person and 10 Euro seems exorbitant.

Cons: no elevator, which may be fine if hail and hearty, a nice young lady carried our cases up 3 flights of stairs, which was nice, but checking out we had to drag suitcases down. Not 21st century, not even 20th No parking on site, but apparently that goes for most places. Shower needs upgrading-----a little better than warm would be nice

Pros: We enjoyed the comfort of our double room. We enjoyed the buffet and staff service for both breakfasts.

Cons: Having to carry our baggage up a flight of stairs.

Pros: In the middle of Clifden

Pros: location was great and bed real comfortable.

Pros: The staff were excellent

Cons: The bathroom could be upgraded

Pros: Small hotel well located right on the Square in Clifden . A little old fashioned but comfortable.Breakfast ok .Bedrooms comfortable and beds and bathroom facilities good.Wifi present throughout.

Cons: Breakfast lacked variety especially for non fry guests.

Pros: Alcock and Brown was a lovely, comfortable stay. We especially enjoyed Irish coffees in front of the fireplace in the lobby....the location is smack dab in the heart of it all...plenty of street parking payable by a fee until 6 pm..overnight is free until 11 a.m. although one can park across the street at the Supervalue parki

Pros: The location.

Cons: Firstly i have to say that the hotel is in a superb location, right in the middle of town and everything is on the doorstep, but as far as compliments go, that's about it. The hotel is very tired and desperately needs a refurb. Firstly on arriving in Clifden I phoned the hotel to ask where the 'paid, private parking on-site' was, simple answer, there isn't any, it's park on the road and pay for it or park in the supermarket car park, over the road from the hotel, which is locked after 9pm. On entering there is a distinct 'musty' smell. We checked in and were directed to our rooms, on the top floor at the rear of the hotel. We had travelled to Ireland this time with my 83 year old mother-in-law, who is very fit and able for her age, I asked where the lift was, simple answer is, they don't have one. This is not made clear in their listing. It was a major problem for another couple checking in at the same time. The room itself was clean and tidy, although the bathroom was in desperate need of attention, there was a large hole in the inside of the bath which would preclude it's use as a bath, shower was fine. The extractor fan was that loud and off balance it would wake up anyone sleeping in the room. Dining, my wife is a ceoliac which anywhere else in Ireland isn't a issue, their menu is very limited generally but if you have an allergy it's pretty poor, fortunately there are numerous places to eat out in town that do have good menus. Breakfast was ok but pretty basic and again very poor for ceoliacs, no gluten free cereals and on the second morning they had to nip over the road to Supervalue to get some Gluten free bread. All in all, not impressed and I would be fairly desperate to use this hotel again. It does not live up to it's listing.

Pros: Great food.great Guinness great craic

Cons: Nothing ever thing was spot on
