The Blooming Gorse Café in Clifden

19/09/2025: Wish we could have stayed longer. It was so charming, restful, and had everything we needed. Even though outside was sideways raining, it was perfectly cozy and welcoming inside! Note that it's very close to town,a short walk or drive, its right on Sky Road for easy access. The owner comes out at 630p and serves prosecco and gives an oral history of the place while a pianist plays. Really special.

22/08/2025: We had the best time at this castle. We only stayed a night as we were just passing through and it was a true highlight of the trip. The service was incredible, especially the lovely bartenders. Food was very good, room was comfortable and welcome night was so fun!
