Quiet location in the middle of nature - Clifden Glen
We had a great stay nearby Clifden, the location in the residence was very convenient especially with the green spaces, kid playground and the nearby river.
Our host was helpful during the stay with advice for restaurants and activities nearby. We enjoyed the tidy and well-furnished cottage during our family trip.
Quiet and surrounded by nature as well as beautiful landscapes, we would recommend this cottage to our relatives and friends.

Nice house convenient to Clifden
We spent New Year in this house in Clifden Glen. The house was modern and spotlessly clean, the kitchen is well equipped and house has comfy beds. Heating is electric storage heating and living area was toasty warm, no need to light the fire. The only drawback is the living area is quite small and would be cramped if all the beds were occupied or you are spending a lot of time in the house.

Small rather than comfortable
My primary issue with the property was the lounge/dining/kitchen area. It was very small - probably only around 5m square for the whole area - and not comfortably furnished. There was a two seater sofa that was ok but the wooden seating in the picture is very small and uncomfortable. The pictures are deceptive for this area.
The kitchen was not well equipped as stated - it was ok. It missed simple items like a colander or proper veg knife, and large items like proper freezer storage. Not ideal for a self-catering property.
The bedrooms were fine, although one has low angled ceilings. There are two shower rooms but one is so small the shower room door cannot fully open.
I think it would be fine for a family of 4 with younger children provided they were out most of the time and had limited cooking requirements.
The decoration was fresh and attractive but overall the property did not meet our expectations.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Enttäuschend
Nachdem eigentlich alles wunderbar anfing, insb. Kommunikation mit der Agentur, erfolgt nach Ankunft schnelle Ernüchterung.
Das Positive zuerst: alle Betten waren ganz hervorragend!
Rest:
1. Ankunft: man kommt in einer eng bebauten Siedlung kleinster Doppelhäuser an, die Dank Spritzputz DDR-Charme versprühen.
2. die Küche:
2.1 eine voll ausgestattete Küche, in der es keine Kaffeemaschine gibt?
2.2 vom Toaster fiel der Runterdrücker ab.
2.3 alles war etwas schmuddelig. Die Auflaufform war schmierig, der Küchenschrank wohl schon länger nicht ausgewischt worden (Stichwort: tote Fliegen). Nachdem Vorheizen des Ofens und Öffnung, kamen uns dichte Rauchschwaden entgegen, die sofort den Rauchmelder ausgelöst haben. Wohl schon länger nicht gereinigt. Die Roste im Ofen waren schmierig.Eisfach im Kühlschrank strotzte vor einer dicken Eisschicht in fragwürdiger Färbung.
3. Im gesamten Haus roch es bei Ankunft muffig. Aus dem Bodenabfluss der Dusche im EG roch es unangenehm.
4. 2 Toiletten, aber nur eine Klobürste.
5. Schränke waren voll mit Wäsche. Wenig Stauraum für Gäste.
6. Einrichtung sehr zusammengewürfelt
7. keine Außenmöbel, obwohl nach hinten recht idyllisch
usw. usf.
Aber die Umgebung ist toll!

Dear Claus Thank you for your review and feedback. The cottage is as described and photographed. We send all of our guests written directions,GPS coordinates, eircodes and contact details for guests prior to arrival so guests can familiarise themselves with the cottage location and the surroundings and have the caretakers details should one require assistance. There was a filter coffee pot which the guests prior to your arrival broke and has since been replaced along with a second toilet brush. We apologise had you contacted us or the caretaker we would of supplied you with both items. Guests had departed before your arrival so it would not be possible that the oven had not been in use for some time or the cottage musty as there have been guests consistantly staying in the cottage. As the cottage has been consistenly in use the freezer has since been defrosted since your departure. There was spare linens left in a wardrobe which the caretaker has since removed. Again we thank you for your review and feedback on your stay and should you wish to return please do not hesitate to contact us
Thank you Claudio for being a great guest at Cottage 420. We would be happy to host you at any of our properties. We hope that you found the Cottage comfortable and that everything was to your satisfaction. Please do not hesitate to contact us in future for any accommodation needs.
