Clifden town ‘the Capital of Connemara’ is oozing history, heritage, culture & traditions of Irish Music and Dance. This vibrant town has an array of shops selling top quality gifts, trinket souvenirs and handmade knits but to name a few! You will also find boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. There are cosy coffee shops, pubs from the genuine ‘quaint-Irish’ to the more trendy where entertainment is plentiful. Whatever your taste in music you will find a selection of traditional, modern music and dance. Clifden has a reputation for the West’s ‘Gourmet Capital’ – for its fine restaurants. Take the kids to the town playground where they can have fun on the swings or have a kick about in the pitch beside it!

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. The most well known and oldest of all is the Clifden Community Arts Festival which offers a superb range of poetry readings, lectures, recitals, traditional music, concerts and comedy

At the summit of the Sky Road peninsula there is Eyrephort beach at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.

For those Rainy Days, the Station House Theatre shows the latest movies throughout the week. The theatre also runs live family friendly shows suitable for all ages throughout the summer season. The Station House Leisure Centre have 3 day and weekly passes available for visitors to purchase, which allow you access to the hotel’s gym, swimming pool, steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi!

Why not visit Dan O’Haras homestead (8 minute drive from Clifden town on the N59); an award winning heritage centre which offers a fascinating glimpse of rural Ireland in the mid-nineteenth century. Visitors can enjoy a carriage ride through the centre and see demonstrations of turf cutting, sheep herding and other traditional tasks.

Explore Connemara on an electric bike which can be hired from All Things Connemara (on Market Street) or take part in a bike tour with Connemara Cycling Tours (also on Market Street)

Clifden has probably the best fishing waters in Europe. The scenery in this area is spectacular on land and at sea with a great variety of seabirds and wildlife, including seals and dolphins.

“Lovely stay in an ideal location- This cottage is in an ideal location. On the beach with wonderful views of the sunset. Very private. Michael and Grace are perfect hosts. The cottage is well equipped and very cosy. The bedroom arrangement is a little quirky. The rear bedroom has a low ceiling so the bed is on the floor but comfy. The front bedroom is accessed via a loft ladder. Not something we wanted to challenge after a few gin & tonics. Overall a wonderful cottage, lovely location with perfect hosts. We will be returning. Thank you.”~ Kevin August 2023

“This is a beautiful cottage to relax iin and enjoy the wonderful quiet and views of Connemara.  I highly recommend it.  The only sounds were the waves and the birds” – Juliet April 2022

“I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot in what I was looking for.  I wanted a remote cottage with wifi that could support calls all day long.  I worked three days and adventured aroung Connemara for the rest!   A short drive into Clifden for supplies, dinner, drinks.  The cottage itself was right on its own private shoreline where we saw hares, seals, sea otters each morning as the coffee was being poured.  A cosy fire, many books and well reounded tv selection if wanted your fix” – Janet February 2022.

“We returned to Shore Cottage for New Years.  Our second stay was as nice as the first, last November.  Micheal had the cottage lovely and cosy for our arrival.  We were treated to a storm where we could hear the wind, rain, roar of the sea from inside the wonderfully cosy cottage,  Our mornings started with a wake up to the sound of the sea and breakfast is enjoyed with stunning views of the ocean from any window you look out.  The cottage has every amenity you need and it feels like your home.  Errislannon is a beautiful place to walk and the nearby beaches are great.  We can’t wait to go back in March” – Susan January 2022

We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy and beautifully located cottage. The view on the sea and the hills is amazing. We hope to be back soon 🙂 Vinita October 2021

I have had the most wonderful week in Shore Cottage. I moved my car only twice in 7 days. Its location has to be seen to be believed. Michéal and Grace are exemplary hosts, Michéal on hand to deal with any energy like a broken phone charger at the beginning of the week. The attention to style and detail in the cottage was so spot on. Nothing was forgotten. I’ve planned returned visits. Part of me doesn’t want this Oasis that is Shore Cottage to be discovered as I want it all to myself but that would be selfish! If you need time away as an individual or as a couple I couldn’t recommend shore cottage enough. You won’t be disappointed. I stayed during storms and sunny days and it provided great vistas on each occasion. – Siobhan October 2021

Fabulous little spot and pet friendly too, cottage was beautifully finished with great attention to detail! Our host Micheal was a pleasure to deal with , even greeting us with a home made focaccia bread we will most definitely be returning. Claire& Richard September 2021

I have travelled the length and breath of the west coast of Ireland for many years now trying to find the dream holiday home and now I’ve found it, Shore cottage! Wow! The time we had there was so special, lost for words. The drive in the errislannon road and then up through the two little fields to what unfolds as you approach Shore cottage is just breathtaking, awesome! To the host Micheal and the team that put Shore cottage together thank you from the bottom of my heart for the best holiday we’ve ever had. Ken and Ber September 2021

Beautiful spot and lovely hosts. Really unique stay and perfect if you want to switch off and enjoy the peace and tranquility. Highly recommend, thanks to Michael-Alana July 2021
