Clifden Hotels: Great 3 and 4 Star Hotels To Visit In Ireland

Most visitors to Clifden Ireland are there to enjoy the wonderful scenery of Connemara national park and the Maumturk Mountains. The 3 Clifden hotels chosen here are all in close proximity to these local attractions and are set in their own rural setting with spectacular sea-views.

The 4-star Abbeyglen Castle Hotel is an authentic old Irish castle set in its own rural location overlooking Clifden. Everything about the hotel and its grounds provides a memorable place to stay from the formal gardens and woodland walks on the castle estate to the elegant interior decor, fine furnishings and ornamentation.

The spacious guest rooms don’t disappoint either with their tasteful furnishings, modern en-suites and garden views (the west facing rooms have the best views of the bay). The hotel has broadened its appeal in recent years with the addition of beauty services and sauna.

On the other side of Clifden is the more traditional Rock Glen Country House. This 5-star hotel has been a popular draw for decades due to its panoramic sea views of Clifden Bay and its wonderful restaurant.

The west facing guest rooms sport the garden & sea-views while all rooms have benefited from recent refurbishment to upgrade the en-suites and facilities. The restaurant has a great selection of modern Irish cuisine which changes with the seasons to make the most of the locally sourced produce.

Heading further out from Clifden, the 3-star Ardagh Hotel will suit anyone looking for close proximity to the national park along with the great local fishing spots and golf courses.

The hotel has a friendly atmosphere thanks to its rural location and the modern spacious rooms have great views of Ardbear Bay. Of particular note is their award winning restaurant which is a popular location on Summer evenings for its menu of modern Irish dished and great sea-views at sunset.
