Moran's Oyster Cottage
09/02/2026: The food was good, but we didn't get to try the seafood, which was supposed to be the specialty. A glass of wine was quite expensive; it cost almost as much as a bottle in a store.
06/02/2026: So exceptional that we went back three days in a row. Best seafood chowder of my life (and I've tried a lot), beautiful grilled oysters, and super fresh fish and chips. Best find of our trip to Ireland, thank you!

Abbeyglen Castle Hotel
Clifden
17/02/2026: We only stayed for one night, but if I'd have known how great this place is - we'd have planned to stay for a few nights. We felt so welcome from the moment we arrived (thanks Froda!), the location is outstanding, and the hospitality was perfect. The dinner and breakfast were both fantastic, and the atmosphere in the bar was the best.
I'm running out of adjectives to describe how good this place is, I'll have some more ready for when we're back next time.
Cheers!
02/02/2026: We had a family wedding in the Abbeyglen recently and it was simply excellent. The setting is amazing, a castle in the west of Ireland. The rooms are beautiful and very very comfortable, 4 poster beds, twin sinks luxurious bath. The host and owner was a tremendous entertainer who made the weekend even better (playing music singing chatting!). We stayed on after the wedding and got the full guest experience.
I cant recommend the Abbeyglen highly enough.

Mannions Bar
Clifden
07/01/2026: Great place. I've been going to Clifden since I was a child and never been in before. We had a really great meal.
03/01/2026: It is conveniently placed in front of the bus stop, so it was easy to eat there while waiting for the bus. We had the penne pasta with cream sauce and mushroom and the steak sandwich. Portion size is generous and food is really good.
