My brother and young niece and I had the pleasure of celebrating a cousin's 40th birthday here a few weekends ago, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this charming hotel and its equally charming proprietor, Brian Hughes, and his lovely wife Michelle. The setting is gorgeous, the food wonderful, the staff accommodating and friendly, and the ambiance is... More

The highlight of our trip! Greeted with champagne upon arrival, upgraded to a room with fireplace, sitting area, full tester antique bed, claw foot tub for two, heated towel racks and shower. Lively piano bar and interesting menu prompted us to break the vow of never dinning in a hotel restaurant. Not disappointed in that choice, lobster Thermidor was fresh... More

The Abbeyglen hotel is one of Clifden's greatest treasures - setting, atmosphere and quality of food, and the warm welcome was superb. Staff were professional and courteous - and special mention must go to the receptionist who greeted us on our arrival on a bitterly cold Good Friday afternoon. We will definitely be back!

Very friendly & helpful staff. Nice choise for breakfast & lovely dinner! All presented amazingly (especially the afters mmmmmm). In the evenings there's a great bar in the hotel with music & you can also have a nice sing-a-long ;-). Great scenery, so perfect for long relaxing walks. Can't wait to go back again :-)

Enjoyed our stay at the Abbeyglen. Wish we could have had another night there. The grounds are beautiful. Wanted to hike to the ruins, but had to leave after the delicious buffet breakfast. We did drive by them though. We didn't get to experience the spa but met some "locals" who come yearly for treatments and they raved. So maybe... More

From the cozy fireside chats in the lobby, to the splendid dinning facilities, this hotel is nicely appointed and comfortable. The service staff is friendly and attentive - we felt spoiled. The hotel grounds are very nice as well. The room was clean and comfortable with ample space for luggage and personal items. Location is 7 minutes walk from town... More

Our two night stay was wonderful in a lovely room with four poster bed. The bathroom was great with a lovely deep bath. The food was fantastic and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this hotel to anyone travelling in the area.
