Amazing spacious cottage
We felt very lucky to find this property, it was very spacious, well-maintained, spotless and had everything you would require for a holiday. It was only 5 minute walk from Clifden town centre, next to a brook and with a friendly horse opposite. The property had lots of hot water, great showers, very comfortable beds and lots of space for socialising. We had a fabulous vacation there and thoroughly recommend renting this property.

I wish I didn't have to leave
My family and I were immediately at home. The house was in pristine condition. The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics, plus nice-to-have items like an air fryer. My kids enjoyed the assortment of books and toys. The shower pressure was amazing.
The location was fantastic. It's an easy walk into town, but just far enough that you feel removed.
The only negative is that there is no clothes dryer in the house. Traveling with kids, we had to do several loads of laundry while at the house. Using the clothesline outside took a bit more planning and watching the weather than I'm used to.
I would absolutely stay here again!
