    Loved the location, the friendly third generation family owners, and the fabulous breakfast. Bed was a bit hard but I slept well because the room was so quiet.

    Great location in Clifden. Close to Connemara National Park. Host, Desmond, is extremely nice. Beds are very firm. Could use to be a bit more comfortable. Bathroom could use some shelving and more hooks.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    The property was in a great location right next to free public parking. Desmond very nice host. Facility has a lot of character. Breakfast was top shelf. Salmon was great and the server was very nice and cheery. The surrounding area beautiful including Connemara national park. Easy stroll to pubs and restaurants.

    In all of our travels, we have never found better accommodations, better hosts or a more beautiful place with excellent food served so beautifully! We are so thankful that you had a vacancy and we could stay there our fourth time!! Desmond and Eileen, you are genuinely awesome and provide so beautifully for your guests. Thank you for all you do to make Benview such an amazing place to stay. We truly appreciate you and thank you so very very much!!! 0
