The food offered by O'Malley's is really well done, Connemara comfort food. I highly recommend you don't sleep through breakfast. It's entirely farm to table organic, and they source all their fish and crab from the local fishermen in Clifden and Cleggan. This is one of the few hotels or B&Bs in the area that offers real coffee, and they will beat your milk upon request. Hotel offers live music at night and is in the heart of historic downtown Clifden, just steps away from a plethora of ancient ruins, tombs, standing stones, castles and billion dollar views.

This Bed and Breakfast was worth the drive through Galway, tiny villages, and countryside. While…read morethere is no physical address, look up the villages Tulleycross, Tully, and Tullymore and you'll be able to find it. When we first arrived at the B&B, we walked into the front door with a gorgeous vase of Lilies that scented the entrance of the home. Our host, Moreen greeted us with a smile and offered to make us some tea while we unpacked. We also had 24 hour access to a cozy sunroom with as much tea and coffee we could drink as well as a small fridge in the dining area. The house is situated at the edge of Galway County, overlooking the Irish Sea. The closed village was less than a half mile walk down the road with a couple of restaurants and pubs to enjoy that serve food late. The bed was very comfortable and I slept so well hearing the sounds of the ocean pour into our room. Many B&B's don't take cards, so remember that when traveling through Ireland. This one did but be sure to pay the night before as sometimes the card machine takes a while to process your card. We paid with cash but I wanted to pass this helpful tip on.

My review is based on a family experience with a rental car…read more We've been in room #2 for 6 nights, so your experience may vary. Families have other priorities than couples or singles, please keep that in mind while reading. Edwina and Maurice are just amazing hosts and the premises are clean, cosy and inviting. Our room was really practical and we were to able to store our stuff easily. The full Irish breakfast and the coffee from the french press are delicious. You have lots of options for (ripe!) fruit, cornflakes, yoghurt and more. Breakfast variants are always possible! Just ask. I even had some black pudding after I asked for it. The surrounding area and the small town of Oughterard is just great. You can walk to a great pub in 2 minutes and have a dinner with traditional food and music there. Fancy a Pizza? 2 minutes walk, next door! We needed a laundry service sometimes and that was just on the other side of the street as well. Shopping is easy in Oughterard - you can get food and souvenirs just along the main street. A few minutes away is also a playground for small and big children =) A lot of other places are within a short distance to drive and the Connemara region has so much to offer for kids and adults. If you're into hiking the "Western Way" start just around the corner (hence the name of the B&B). A wonderful beach - I compared it to the Bahamas - is just a 40 minute drive away ("Dogs Bay", Roundstone). Our hosts always had great tips for us which places were worth a visit and where to stop for dinner. After a long day we were able to relax in the TV lounge which was cosy and full of books. We will definitely stay there again to see more of the Connemara region!

John is very nice, gave us great advice on meals, pubs, drives, etc. He called ahead to the Clare Island ferry to have them hold for us, as we would be late due to car troubles, and the pilot DID! Only in Ireland! Clean, comfortable, safe, with a singing host. They also have a holistic spa, with massage, aroma therapy, etc. If you do the Crough Patrick pilgrimage you will need this! Stay here!

She followed up with us 24hr in advance, had a ride lined up with us (Noel Mahon [Runs Taxi and Van tour business on island - Best taxi tour service on island]). When we got there much of the island was closed down but a couple restaurants back by the ferry. She didn't hesitate to offer to drop us off because she knew we had to be hungry. She is truly a wonderful person and can provide some wonderful recommendations. Having known Penny for just 24hr, she felt like a distant relative and cared greatly for us - I'm confident she will do the same for you and recommend booking directly from her during your trip!
