Lovely Townhouse in a Vibrant Community
This was the best place we stayed in Ireland. Equipped to a high standard. It is a great base for exploring the Connemara region and avoiding the hustle and bustle of Galway City. Clifden has all the amenities needed and lots of restaurants. The owner has Guys Bar which is one of the most pleasant pubs we have visited with outstanding food. We ate there three times.

Amazing and lovely
Super Haus mitten in der Stadt, eigener Parkplatz, sehr guter Ausgangspunkt für Unternehmungen nach Süden, Norden und Schifffahrt auf dem Fjord. Zum Nationalparkway nur wenige Km. Chef hat uns in seiner Bar selbst bedient, sehr freundlicher Mensch. Wir haben es geliebt, 2 Ehepaare aus Deutschland.

The accommodation was exactly as pictured and the location was perfect. It allowed us easy access to the restaurants and shops and served as a central location for all the places that we wanted to see in the Connemara region. We would highly recommend this place!

Coyne House was phenomenal!
So wonderful to be able to stay in such a warm and inviting rental! The views of the bay outside of the living room were inviting. On days with liquid sunshine, the wood/turf stove provided immediate comfort and a sense of home. All rooms were spacious, the kitchen had all needed essentials required for dining, bathrooms were updated and spacious. The beds invites sleep nightly with softness and warmth on cool rainy nights. To be in the center of the town was an added bonus. We felt we belonged after being there for only a few days. The rental process was seamless and even met the owner in the local pub! This is my idea of the perfect vacation!

The Coyne House
This is a fantastic property! The location in the centre of Clifden, and less than half hour to lovely beaches or to the Connemara National Park is perfect. We had lots of weather but it didn't matter as there was lots nearby to discover and enjoy. The house was cosy and clean to chill out in and enjoy by night the fantastic music and food in any of many restaurants and bars in Clifden. Very comfy beds and lovely wood/peat briquette burning stove. Would highly recommend!! Many thanks!
