Abbeyglen Castle Hotel
Clifden
17/05/2025: Great experience! This hotel is one of a kind, a beautiful Castle with unique rooms. The two brothers who run the hotel treat you like family. The bar has music, food, and drinks. The restaurant was phenomenal with professional staff.
The place has a lively and welcoming feel. During a trip where we traveled to many spots in Ireland, this hotel was a complete gem in the middle of an amazing trip.
This place made you feel so welcome. In a world where service and hospitality are no longer the norm, this Staff proves there are still places that value that. I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed this hotel, thier staff, and the town.
14/05/2025: Exceptional environment, cosmopolitan but friendly and efficient staff. The place is pseudo-medieval (it actually dates from the 19th century), a bit kitsch in terms of decor. Overall, a very friendly welcome, everything started well. The website is a bit misleading, because the "five courses dinner" (5-course meal) includes, in addition to the classic starter-main course-dessert, only a trou normand (a small scoop of sorbet) and coffee or tea. The treatment center (spa, massage) that we assume is integrated is actually a separate establishment about a hundred meters from the establishment. The first evening, after dinner, no more cold water in the family's 3 rooms (so no toilet and no shower). This will be restored the next morning, around 9:00, but neither that day nor the next day, the day of our departure, will we receive an explanation or an apology from the management. For an establishment of this standing, this is more than regrettable. I therefore cannot recommend it.

Mitchell's
Clifden
06/06/2025: This is a great restaurant in the pretty town of Clifden (a word of advice: make a reservation!). The decor is chic and welcoming.
A menu that emphasizes seafood, but we also enjoyed some very good Irish meat, accompanied by a delicious whisky sauce, of course.
Not to mention a great wine list from Europe, South America, New Zealand, and more.
03/06/2025: Very good fish restaurant. Restaurant atmosphere, not pub atmosphere.

Station House Pub
Clifden
21/05/2025: Great hotel in Clifden! This should def be categorized as a 4 star. Great accommodations, good restaurant and bar, great location and the service was definitely 5 star! The staff were so accommodating and kind and helped us store our bikes and navigate details on our cycle trip. Special shoutout to Fiona and Shauna and the numerous porters who were fantastic and kind. Would always recommend!
20/05/2025: In the heart of Clifden, nice place to keep fit, “oldly worldly” station house bar with outdoor seating, restaurant & recently renovated hotel near art galleries, designer shopping area & horse riding.
