A must visit is the ruins of the old D’Arcy mansion, Clifden Castle. Along the Sky Road is a gateway leading to the castle. Once a Gothic Mansion, the D’Arcy’s lived here until 1850 when the estate was sold to the Eyre Family who lived here at intervals until the castle fell into ruin in the early 20th century.

There are many fine festivals to enjoy throughout the year in Connemara. Most full of music, dance, fun, laughter, activities and games for the young and the young-at-heart.

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

“Compact and clean. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well equipped. The wifi quality was very good.”-Janice July 2021
