Ardagh House is beautiful, stylish and comfortable. We loved the excellent breakfast (Avocado Toast! 😋), the view from the Restaurant and sitting at the cosy Bar Lounge in the evening watching the fireplace. It was very clean. Nice stuff.

The only thing we didn't like and didn't understand is why no one does anything about the very loud noises of the wooden roomdoors. At night you are woken up by loud banging the door if someone is coming home late. This is also the permanent sound in the morning. This has negatively affected our sleep quality. The bathroom door also closes too loudly. We recommend earplugs.

The hotel was small and family run. It is in a beautiful location about a ten minute drive outside Clifden. It is quite isolated, which we loved and the views were stunning. Our bags were carried to our room while we checked in and the kettle was boiled for us by the time we arrived. We were given complimentary cake to enjoy with the tea. Such a lovely touch! The room was beautifully decorated, spacious and very clean. We had a view of the garden which was really nice. We enjoyed a drink in the bar each night. The fire was always lit and everyone was so welcoming. We didn’t eat in the restaurant because it was a bit pricey as were the drinks. Cocktails were delicious but €16 each. We didn’t mind too much as it was a holiday! Breakfast was really good. Lots on offer including cooked food and a beautiful homemade nutty brown bread. The view was breathtaking overlooking the inlet. All the vegetables were grown in the garden or the poly tunnels at the back of the hotel. There were nice seats outside to sit and a very cosy conservatory and lounge area inside. We had a wonderful stay. It was more expensive than a lot of properties we looked at but so worth it if you are looking for a quiet, calm holiday away from busy towns and cities. We will definitely return to this little gem.

We had a beautiful view of the water, and we enjoyed watching ponies explore the coast. The easy chairs in the room were exceptionally comfortable, and we spent hours sitting and enjoying the view. We also enjoyed having drinks in the bar (also very comfortable chairs) in front of a peat fire every evening. One night we had a cheese board for dinner in the bar, and it was very good. Another night we ate in the restaurant and had one of the very best meals on our trip. Breakfasts were delicious, and the restaurant has a wonderful view. The staff were very professional, friendly, and pleasant to interact with. This is an exceptional property and one of our top stays during a three week trip. If staying at the property, I recommend making reservations for dinner rather than driving into town.

This was our third time staying at Ardagh. It’s a wonderful gem in Clifden. The owners and staff are WONDERFUL. The views are BEAUTIFUL and the food is OUTSTANDING. The bathrooms had been updated since we stayed last time and they were much nicer. We loved the lounge area and the smell of the fire. We loved the resident dog and enjoyed sitting outside with a cocktail.

Our only constructive feedback is that there were way too many decorative throw pillows on the bed. We prefer to not have any decorative pillows placed on the clean bed sheets and face pillows for sanitary reasons.

Ardagh Hotel was in a scenic location overlooking the water and mountains. It was very comfortable with a few seating areas especially pleasant main lounge and lovely dining room. The Fruity nutty bread at breakfast was special and they served a good selection at breakfast. There were board games available. A taxi service if coming to Clifden and the Hotel is provided by Robert and was very professional and friendly. Briar was very helpful in arranging my taxi.

Thought there maybe more walks nearby but the road was too busy. However did walk around grounds.

Everything ....comfortable rooms, relaxing lounge area with a lovely open fire. On the first floor, there is a relaxing seated area filled with plants and flowers. The views of Ardbear and Clifden Bay from the dining room were spectacular. The restaurant is definitely high-end cuisene and we had the most beautiful fresh seafood. Breakfast was equally as delicious. Staff are friendly , chatty, and professional . I would highly recommend a visit to this gem of a hotel as a fantastic place to explore Clifden and the surrounding areas.

Nothing

Felt at home from the moment we got there, including the doggo :) she was welcome everywhere except the dining room which makes sense. But we got a beautiful set up in one of the nearby sitting rooms. Really nice views, kind staff, lovely cocktails. The bar area was my favourite with a big open fire :) We were unaware the Clifden Arts Festival was on, so the room was really good value for money and the hotel provided taxi numbers if we needed them. They really thought of all the little things.

The lady at reception who checked us in was friendly and offered us tea and delicious cake to bring to our room. Our room was located at the rear of the hotel and overlooked a rockery garden. We really liked the good selection on the breakfast menu as well as the buffet choices. Staff and service were excellent. There is a relaxing feel to this lovely hotel with it's interior decoration and comfortable spaces to sit in.

Room TV was small sized and my pillow a little tough. Only minor issues though and didn't spoil my stay.

Spacious n comfortable room with nice view of the garden. The breakfasts were fantastic and delicious. We got the table near the window and enjoyed the bay views. Services were courteous and timely. Convenient and nice parking in front of the hotel. The lounges and sunroom are very nicely decorated. It's definitely a nice place to stay for a couple of days or more.

The dinner prices are very high compared to those in town. We usually like to eat at the hotel but we ended up having dinner at two very nice restaurants in town. The bathroom floor is very slippery with water on the floor. With a small sink, the water often splashed out to the floor. We have to wipe the floor dry for our own safety.

I had not heard of this Ardagh Hotel before, so was very pleasantly surprised by what we found. I think we got lucky with a very good mid-week deal on the accommodation for 1 night, which was excellent. The restaurant upstairs is lovely with a very nice view, but it is pricey.

The hotel only opens for 4 months each year (May-August), and the overall cost of staying is on a par with other Irish high-end hotels.
