“Peaceful Break.  Enjoyed a short stay at No 68 Clifden Glen.  We appreciated the peaceful and quiet surroundings.  The house was clean and comfortable” – Maire June 2022

“Lovely bright clean holiday cottage which suited our needs perfectly.  Kitchen has all mod cons, and living area very comfortable.  Couldn’t get Saorview on TV which was frustrating.  I also found the single bed in the smallest room extremely hard and uncomfortable, obviously firmness of mattress is personal taste, but this was lumpy also.  However, all in all , we enjoyed our stay and were well provided for.  We would come again! – Bairbre April 2022
