We were very happy with the accomodation and there was adequate room for our party. Kitchen well fitted out with lots of space for everyone to eat. The only problem was a poor
hot water supply and having the boiler on for 1 hr in the evening and 1.5 hrs am gave very little hot water. Consequently we had to put on the immersion. Also mattress in Kingsize bed in no. 425 wasn't firm hence uncomfortable.

My husband, two daughters, and their children recently stayed at cottage 173 in Clifden. The weather was unkind so it was wonderful to be able to walk to the shops and supermarket and scurry back to the house when it became too inclement. The house was warm, the heater on a timer which we did not find necessary to adjust, and the rooms large and comfortable. We did not need a dryer but had we been spending more than a few days this might have been a problem considering the weather. The kitchen was well equipped except for the absence of a spatula (!) which is easily remedied. One note, it is difficult to see the access point to the cottage from the road and both we and my daughter passed it out a couple of times before espying the sharp rise on a turn. We would recommend staying at cottage 173.for its comfort and proximity to the town

Had a great week in Clifden - such a beautiful spot with so much to see and do. Best thing about the house was the location - ideal on the edge of the town of Clifden so we could walk to all the amenities on offer in this great little spot.

I rent this home twice a year and just love it. Close to pubs, restaurants and anything you might need in town. We love just walking into town after dinner to listen to music and just walk home after a night in town. Perfect location and maintained very well.

This is our second stay in the cottage and will not be the last. The location is excellent and the house has everything you could want. We requested a cot and a high chair and they were there on arrival, as were 2 Easter eggs for the kids, nice touch. The house has the usual condiments and cleaning products in the kitchen, including tea towels and cleaning clothes, these help reduce the amount of food and stuff we have to buy or carry with us. The bedrooms are very spacious and so convenient having an en-suite bathroom. The kitchen could benefit from a bigger fridge to cope with large numbers but otherwise it's fine. the large kitchen/diner seats everyone comfortably and the sitting room is an overflow as we all tend to sit in the kitchen anyway. Views from the front of the house are amazing.
We did not read the visitors manual,and because of this we failed to notice that checkout time was 10.30 am and not 12.00 as we wrongly assumed. This led to a mad dash in the end but the caretaker was very nice about it and left us alone to finish up packing etc. I will definitely revisit this house as it offers space and privacy to everyone, even the 4 yr old with his little private room!

We enjoyed the space and comfort of this cottage. Outside space was enhanced by the outdoor furniture as we were lucky enough to get good weather and took full advantage. The location is perfect, within walking distance of town. The driveway up to the house is a bit steep but manageable. The views are lovely and surrounding walks up by the river are a must.
I will definitely book this house again, it was perfect for out needs. We were 3 couples, 1 single and a 3 year old.

We enjoyed our weeks stay in a perfect location in Clifden as the house is within walking distance to everything.
Unfortunatly we did have issues from day 1 with fumes from the oil heater...the management company and caretaker were immediate in their responsive and did compensate us for the discomfort but were unable to fix the problem. Suggest the oil burner should be located outside the house . The only other issue was the lack of blinds in the upstairs bedrooms which we could not understand as light shining in from early morning..we had to put black plastic bags over the windows.
This is a large 5 bedroom house in a very quite location with decent parking and Wi-Fi. Four bedrooms en suite so it's a fantastic house for a large group of people. A little overhaul on the furnishings would make this a five star rental.

The house is perfectly located just on the edge of town, making it an easy walk everywhere, but still quiet. The driveway up to the house is steep, and at a bit of a blind corner, but other than that, the location can't be beat.
The house was large, with lots of bathrooms! The house is furnished with the basics. It would have been nice to have a few "extras" like a hair dryer and more than just the one roll of paper towels.
The washing machine was broken when we arrived, but a new one was installed the next day.
All in all, we were thrilled with our stay. It was great value for the price. And next time I'm in the area I will probably look to stay here again!

This beautiful home is wonderfully appointed and extremely comfortable. It has a very well equipped kitchen and dinning room. Living room is comfortable and we had several turf fires.

The location and proximity to town is the best part! We were able to walk to dinner and music every night!

The care taker checked in with us to make sure we understood how everything worked (stove, washing machine, heater etc)

Wifi had a very strong signal which was very important to many of us who needed to keep in touch with emails for work!

I have already booked for two weeks in September for next year!

Myself and 5 family members stayed for in this cottage for 2 nights. We had plenty of space, everybody had their own bedroom and bathroom. It is in a great location, it takes seconds to walk into the town. I would definitely stay here again. Terence and Trish were both very helpful.

House was clean and fresh, but a little dated and walls in desperate need of emulsion.
Towels were provided which was an unexpected bonus.
No outside bins, so had to store binbags in utility room which started to smell at the end of week.
Location was great for shops and restaurants.
Wifi and an outside patio set would be nice.

we stayed for two nights for a wedding and really found the cottage ideal - comfortable beds and plenty of hot water - the dishwasher was a real bonus too

great help with baby equipment (high chair and travel cot) from the manager

the only issue we had was that two of the upstairs bedrooms didn't have blinds for the skylights and we were woken early in the morning with the bright sunlight



Great location and plenty of room. No WiFi.

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The furnishings and rooms were well appointed and comfortable. The location is excellent and just a few steps from shops and restaurants. On the down side though no one ever greeted us. The keys were left in a flower pot. Someone came the next evening but most of us were at dinner. We ran out of hot water our first morning and there was no internet/ WiFi service and no instructions on how to access it.

Superb location. Cottage needs some TLC. Window fell out in downstairs bedroom and two upstair windows very unsafe.Requested stair gate but didn't even get a reply. Rubbish still in bin in the kitchen. Hoover would not work too full and no replacement bags. No outside bins and no backdoor key. Had to leave all bagged rubbish in utility room. Outside furniture would be appreciated if only a bench. Next door neighbours very kindly loaned us some chairs. Mirror at end of drive would be useful quite a dangerous corner. It really needs a very thorough cleaning. No courtesy items as are usually left for guests. In all other properties we have stayed these have always been supplied.

We had a fantastic stay in this lovely dormer so close to the town of clifden. We really enjoyed it, the house was so spacious and comfortable. Lovely and warm and will definitely return for a longer trip again. My only suggestion is some black out blinds for the velux windows! But I will return some day soon.

A very nice, well proportioned house, within about 200m of Clifden town centre. The directions were clear and the custodian was friendly and accomodating. Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a reasonable sized kitchen. I would recommend without hesitation. The only downside is that there is no garden - but when you are in this part of the countryside who really needs one ?
