About this property
The Quay House, Clifden’s oldest building
Built for the Harbour Master nearly 200 years ago, The Quay House has been sensitively restored and now offers guest accommodation in fourteen bedrooms (all different) with full bathrooms – all but three overlook the Harbour. Family portraits, period furniture, cosy fires and a warm Irish welcome make for a unique atmosphere of comfort and fun.
The Quay House is Clifden’s oldest building, dating from C1820. It was originally the Harbour Master’s house but later became a Franciscan monastery, then a convent and finally a hotel owned by the Pye family.
The Quay House stands right on the harbour, just 7 minutes walk from Clifden town centre.

All have large bathrooms with tubs and showers and there is also one ground floor room for wheelchair users.
