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.

“A cosy apartment that is deceptively spacious. Great bathroom and kitchen facilities. 2 comfortable bedrooms. Our small dog was very welcome. You are right in the centre of Clifden with shops, bars/restaurants and a great supermarket only steps away. Then it is only a short spin by car out to the amazing beaches of Connemara (white sand and turquoise seas and practically deserted).”- Gail July 2021

“Would definitely stay in this apartment again-very good location and comfortable apartment”-Miranda January 2019

“Fabulous, superb for families. Lovely house, spacious but cozy. Great for large family vacations, four good sized bathrooms and large bedrooms, all very well finished. Great kitchen and utility, huge garden. Lovely beach 600 m down the road, town 600 m the other way or a short drive. We loved the downstairs bathroom and bathrooms for the grandparents. Hosts extremely helpful and friendly.”- Claudine September 2018

“Fabulous house and fabulous stay. Beautiful house in a lovely location – all mod cons provided and owners (who live in the adjacent property) very helpful – we had a small problem with a blocked sink and they had a plumber out the same day to fix it. Cleggan a short walk away is a lovely little village with a harbour and I would recommend a visit to Olivers, one of the local pubs in the village with a view over the harbour and excellent food and traditional music a couple of times a week. if you want a home away from home in a wonderful part of Ireland I would highly recommend.”- Tom August 2018
