The other occasion - at the piano bar, service was great all evening when we were relaxing with our cocktails and the staff could not wait to help us, and were extremely polite and helpfull ... until we asked for the bill, it took 45 minutes for them to produce a bill! Now i am not a bar maid, but... More

A very professionally run bed and breakfast. I brought my 88 year old wheelchair using mother who was more than pleased by the downstairs location of the beautifully furnished room. Breakfasts are very good here, with unusual light and more filling choices. The Byrnes are quietly genial hosts, with plenty of experience in the hospitality industry, having worked overseas and...

Unlike the description of "Exceptional standards, Personal attention and Award winning cuisine in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere", I found the opposite! The reception was rather unfriendly on a wet, dark night having to wait 15 mins unitl someone came to check us in! one of the rooms was musty smelling ( very strong) and not pleasant to sleep in....

We booked in at the Byrnes Mal Dua House and Restaurant for a 3 night stay via the internet When we arrived we were told that the restaurant was no longer and had been closed all year. (We later found out that it had been closed since 2005). The nearest restaurant was in Clifden a 25 minutes, 1 mile walk... More

We arrived in Clifden (3 families including a 2 year old and a 3 1/2 year old) to stay for a week in a pre-paid house. Much to our disappointment it was totatlly unacceptable even to spend one night. We were extremely fortunate to discover Byrne's Mal Dua with excellent, spacious, clean, nicely and tastefully furnished rooms. But the best... More

The Byrne Mal Dua House is a very comfortable, very professionally run B&B, priced a bit above the average for the Clifden area (though all of Conemara is quite expensive in the summer). The Byrnes are former Aer Lingus professionals, and the organization and consistency of the B&B shows it. The breakfasts are quite generous and satisfying, with multiple choices.... More

I've stayed at this lovely place twice. Both times the rooms were large, clean, warm and very comfortable. The owners and staff were lovely and helpful and the grounds really interesting with stone walls and a stream. The thing I like best is that there's a dirt road out back that swiftly hops over a low hill and suddenly you're... More

I've stayed at Byrnes Mal Dua House twice. It's located about a mile outside Clifden and the thing I liked best is that the dirt road out the back leads quickly over the hills and out into the lovely wilds of Connemara. Long views of the Twelve Bens mountains, flowers, streams and the vastness of the landscape. And I simply... More

We were looking for somewhere different. We did not want just another hotel but somewhere more personal and intimate. We found it. Mal Dua House is just superb. We stayed for 5 nights as we were in the west of Ireland for the Connemara Marathon. Everything is done with such ease and grace. The early morning buffet, which started at... More
