Great place
We had a lovely weekend in Cottage 425 Clifden. The location is brilliant as you can walk into the town in a few minutes where there are loads of bars and restaurants. The house is very spacious and 8 of us and a baby had loads of space. James looked after us very well.

The beauty of Connemara
Love Connemara Cottages never disapoints! The family size home was perfect for my 6 guests. The close proximity to town is essential to enjoy all that Clifden and its surrounding towns have to offer!

The house was lovely but up a steep hill. We all enjoyed our stay. The showers downstairs were stiff but we managed them. The views are amazing and there is always something to watch

We stayed for a few days with a group of 8. Everyone had plenty of room. The location is convenient, with many shops, grocery stores and restaurants being easy walking distance. Easy drive to many local sites/attractions as well. The only issue we had is the laundry being small. It is not made to accommodate 8 people if you are gone most of the day, as we were. I would absolutely stay here again.

A well situated house suitable for a large group
We were a group of 8 adults who were there for 2 nights and found the house suitable for our needs. The kitchen is well equipped with ample cooking utensils and crockery. It was nice to have basic kitchen supplies ie salt/ pepper/ tinfoil and such. The heating system is dated but functioned ok. We did purchase sticks and lit the fire in the living room as we were there during a storm!!! The house is a 3 minute walk to the Main Street of Clifton so very convenient for shops and restaurants.

Zunächst hatten wir eine schöne Zeit in Clifden! Das Ferienhaus hat uns leider etwas enttäuscht, da es online viel heller, freundlicher und moderner wirkte. Das Haus roch seltsam, im OG konnte ein Fenster nicht richtig geschlossen werden, die Rollos waren zum Teil defekt und somit unbeweglich. Wir haben diverse Hinterlassenschaften unserer Vorgänger gefunden (Trauben unterm Sofa, angelutschte Lollis). Die Duschen waren schwergängig und hatten sehr wenig Druck. Die Lage ist tatsächlich schön, der Wasserfall direkt vorm Haus sorgt für eine gewisse Grundlautstärke, aber Clifden ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erkundbar, das war prima!

Dear Tino,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and some feedback which we will relay to the Cottage owner and to the housekeeping team. We are glad that you enjoyed the location of the Cottage and it's proximity to the town. Yes, after a heavy rainfall, the water nearby waterfall can be a little noisy. We hope that this did not mar the enjoyment of your stay. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to return to any of our properties and we will be happy to host you again.
Kind regards,
