We had two crowning jewels in the hotels we stayed in; this was one of them. The house in which…read morethis B&B resides is perfectly lovely; more than 200 years old, and decorated accordingly. It boasts a very country house feel, with whimsical antique bronzes and beautiful paintings, chintz-covered couches, Persian carpets, and more. The breakfast was superb; more choices than you could shake a stick at, delicious, and cooked by our hosts, the Foyles. We were welcomed warmly, treated like treasure, and wished we could simply move in.

We found ourselves at the Bay View Bed & Breakfast abruptly one evening when our tent was damaged…read moreby gale winds in a nearby campsite. Bridie welcomed us in warmly. She gave us the front bed room on the ground floor as it would be handy for us to go back and forth to our car with our belongings. This was a huge help as we did need to go to the car a bit. The car was packed very hastily in gale force winds, so it was a bit of a mess getting what we needed for our stay. Back to the room, it was so cosy and warm. The radiator was turned up and we soaked up the heat. Per night it was 60 EUR for two of us. Breakfast was grand, it was presented very well. The view is just amazing from this Bed & Breakfast and with the quick changing weather, the view appeared different each time. The location is good too. Left was Clifden, but if you wanted to head north to any number of places you turned right and on your way on the main Westport road. A few negatives with the bathroom though: shower was dark and cramped, water pressure fluctuated and that made the shower head move around, a little eerily at first when you didn't know why it was moving. Also shower did not drain quickly. Cobwebs and dust spotted in there too. But overall it was a good stay and was just what we needed after the camping disaster. I'm glad we ended up at the Bay View Bed & Breakfast.
