Ardagh Hotel & Restaurant

We are travelling from Australia accordingly we had 2 normal sized suitcases, the hotel has no lift . We are placed on the second floor, the receptionist did offer to carry the suitcases up the 2 flights of stairs. The room is tiny, you cannot have one suitcase open and get around the room. It’s a case of you open the suitcase get what you need and close. There is no coffee machine in the room; instant coffee served in 2025? The internet keeps cutting out. The fixed price meal is 80 euro each, €160 a couple ($A286). We did not have the meal, we went into town. There is no fridge in the room. They do have fluffy towels. Breakfast is not served until 8:30.

The hotel is located just south of Clifden, perfect for visiting Connemara and the west coast of Galway. We stayed in the lodge, a snug and well-appointed bungalow with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is en-suite. Although the lodge is self-catering, we enjoyed the food in the hotel's restaurant, which was of a very high standard, served by very friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Fantastic hotel, lovely owners and staff, food in the restaurant was superb, would stay again very relaxing and clean.

Lovely stay and breathtaking view! The room was clean, the furniture was elegant. We also had a delightful breakfast! I hope to come back soon.

Un séjour exceptionnel dans un très bel hôtel magnifiquement situé ! Le personnel est d’une gentillesse incroyable, et la restauration est à la hauteur!

Another amazing experience in Ardagh. It’s without question my favourite place of any I have experienced. The setting is beautiful overlooking the bay, the hotel has every comfort as well as lots of extra touches that you could want or need and the food is of such a high standard that you savour every bite and don’t want it to end. The Bauvet family make this place unique and the level of warm unobtrusive service is incredible. Looking forward to our next visit
