The Blooming Gorse Café in Clifden

20/10/2025: Myself & 2 friends spent 3 nights in the Abbeyglen recently & had a most enjoyable experience. From minute we landed everything was perfect, from breakfast to history of house to a fabulous dinner. We got brilliant value for what we paid for our stay. Staff were very helpful staff at reception. restaurant & bar staff & cleaners. We will definitely be making this an annual trip

12/10/2025: This is going to be a long one. This place is five stars, more like seven, do you want character? This has it do you want architecture has that too? Do you want a beautiful view check, can you walk to town?yes. Do you like Ivy? This place has lots of it. The inside, it’s old. There’s necks and scratches, it feels like the kind of place you’ll never wanna leave. Staff? Fantastic. The rooms, unbelievable. The bathrooms? As nice as they could possibly be. Fabulous rain showers. The food, absolutely five star, the food service? Add another five stars. The atmosphere? Had another five stars. We went on a tour of Scotland in Ireland and this by far was the finest place we stayed. I actually had to stop and ask some of the staff people how they liked working there, because if you could choose the most fabulous place to have a job, this would be it. Everybody there was like family. Check out my pictures.
