The Plant Collector in

26/05/2025: We stayed at the Ardagh Hotel over the weekend and honestly couldn’t recommend it enough. We traveled as a couple with our dog, and were so impressed by how dog-friendly the hotel is—dogs are welcome in most areas as long as they’re on the lead. The room, while on the smaller side, had everything we needed and was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was included in our stay, and it was a lovely cooked breakfast each morning. We also had dinner at the hotel restaurant and it was fantastic—a delicious three-course meal with excellent vegetarian options. The hotel itself is well maintained, with amazing views and a peaceful setting. It’s in a great location too—just under a 10-minute drive from Clifden town. The staff were lovely as well, really friendly and accommodating. Overall, we had such a lovely stay and will definitely be back!
