Idyllic cottage

The Hillside House has everything that you would want for your stay and is a short ride to Clifden center. Watching the cows graze at our backdoor every day was very relaxing.

Perfect base for exploring Connemara

This house was a perfect base for 2 couples to explore Connemara Park and the scenic driving routes & sights on the Wild Atlantic Way. Spotlessly clean, plenty of room for all of us and a well-equipped kitchen. Especially enjoyed the neighbour’s friendly cows in the back field checking up on us at breakfast! You absolutely need a car to access & stay at this location, but once you find it using the GPS (Eircode) coordinates provided, it is a short drive to the lovely town of Clifden with some good restaurants, pubs & grocery stores. Wish we had been able to stay longer. Excellent value for the money compared to other properties where we stayed elsewhere in Ireland.

A little piece of Heaven

The property can only be discribed as immaculate. The location was a 5 min journey from Clifden. A perfect base to explore the delights of Connemara. The owner Martin was on hand for local information and tips etc on where to visit and our grand children loved his beautiful dog Misty. The views from the property were absolutely outstanding even on a rainy day. Could not recommend highly enough. It truly was a pleasure staying here. Thanks to all Regards Colin.
