80th in Ireland

Magnificent. Wonderful property with views to die for. Equipped with everything you could want or need. Clean and comfortable within easy reach of Clifden by car. We have been friends for 54 years and have been to Ireland previously for breaks together but this surpasses them all

Irish Cottage with modern amenities

Have you ever wanted to stay in an Irish Cottage on the Cliffs above the sea, but were afraid you'd not have modern amenities? Once Upon A Time is the place for you! Located right off Sky Road with sweeping views of the bay and Atlantic, this stone house has five bedrooms, four and a half baths, modern kitchen and three sitting rooms. It is so comfortable you will be happy to sit and enjoy the view rain or shine. Less than 15 minutes to the town of Clifden with its format restaurants, grocery stores, spa and shops. Klyemore Abbey, Killary Sheep Farm and Connemara National Park are less than an hour away. We had a party of six and were very comfortable. Highly recommend this home away from home!

Almost there

Great location Nice house. Difficulty communicating with manager/housekeeping. Fans needed in upper bedrooms that have no ventilation. Great views. Need instructions for using stove/ heating. One shower would not operate until property manager came 4 days later to give directions. Lots of pots/ pans /silverware.

Luxury + Views + Value!

This was the perfect "base camp" for our 7-day journey around the Wild Atlantic Way. The south views over Clifden Bay speak for themselves. The house was very well-appointed (although a couple more bath towels would have been nice; we got one per person). We saved thousands by not getting 4 hotel rooms and used the kitchen to cook meals for 8 a LOT. We would have preferred to have someone accompany us at check-in to learn about the nuances of the house (heating system, laundry, etc.), but good communication from the property managers helped in that regard. I can't wait to get back to the Clifden area again, and this property will be tops on my list!
