Overall, the cottage was beautifully finished with great care taken to make sure it met the highest standards of cleanliness, presentation and atmosphere. The location couldn’t have been better and Caroline was super helpful and accommodating when we arrived. Even though it is in the heart of town, near several pubs, we had no issues with noise. The back patio was a special bonus, serene and quiet. Our only issue was that more care was placed on presentation than functionality of the space. It was difficult to relax after a long day of touring because the living and dining furniture, although looks very nice, doesn’t accommodate four adults comfortably when all want to eat/relax at the same time. The beds are also quite small, so if you are an average to above average-sized couple, it will be very difficult to sleep together in one bed. My husband is 6’5” and I am 5’ 8” and we could not get a decent night’s sleep because the length and width of the beds were too short. I would equate the size of the beds to a full sized bed in the US. Sleeping alone, however, the beds and pillows are very comfortable. I would highly recommend this cottage for two adults who sleep separately. If you are two couples, used to a very small bed and don’t plan on spending much time relaxing together in the main living area, you would absolutely love this cottage as well. Even with the comfort issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Clifden and in the cottage!

My husband, grown up children and dog spent 3 days at this property. The cottage is very tastefully renovated and furnished, with an enclosed back garden to enjoy. The cottage has everything that you need for your stay and is perfectly located. Communication with Caroline was efficient and smooth.Restaurants, bars and shops are literally outside your door. Clifden is a lovely town, and the surrounding area has beautiful scenery and drives. We did Kylemore Abbey and the Sky loop during our stay. Would highly recommend this cottage .
