    We loved the large spacious room and the breakfast was very good and flavorful! There was nothing that we didn’t like

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Nice spacious rooms. The sheets were nice. Breakfast was basic (although had many options) compared to the 5 other bnbs we stayed at and coffee was pretty bad.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    This was a great B&B and we really enjoyed our stay! Thank You so much.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It’s just a beautiful property, the house, the views, the food, the location and of course the hosts. So happy we booked here!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Beautiful quiet location a bit out of town, friendly, clean, nice breakfast, big room — all very nice! No complaints

    Staying at Hillside was a highlight of our trip in Ireland! Ruth was an incredibly friendly and welcoming host. The rooms are decorated so thoughtfully and we loved looking at all the rock & roll memorabilia in the halls. So cool! Breakfast was delicious and the scenery around the b&b could not be beat, right by the Clifden Castle, as well as cows, sheep, and ponies. It was also an easy walk to the town of Clifden and a quick drive to Connemara hikes. On top of everything, when one of us accidentally forgot something in the room after our stay, Ruth very kindly offered to send it to our hotel in Dublin. Truly could not recommend Hillside more!

    Loved the location, the breakfast and the quiet area Also, appreciated Ruth's suggestions Enjoyed meeting fellow travelers at breakfast The rock music band theme and memorabilia was fun to see Located right on the Sky Road and close to town My bed was firmer than I like but not a big deal

    This place is idyllic. On a quiet road (on the Sky Road, which is a "must-drive"), but only 5 minutes easy drive into Clifden. Sheep grazing across the street, donkeys and horses just a few yards down the road. The Lodge is very lovely, rooms very nice, great bed and bathroom. The breakfasts were wonderful, as are the hosts (Ruth & Stuart). Woke up on our last morning in time to watch the sheep being herded by the farmer's border collies, from our window. No complaints or issues. Such a lovely place, and people.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Hillside Lodge B&B. Ruth and Stuart were warm and welcoming and the breakfasts were outstanding, setting us up for the day. My husband was very taken with all the rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia, especially since several of his favorite bands were featured. The location is easily accessible both to town and the beautiful countryside. We highly recommend the Hillside Lodge!

  • Engine customer Sep 2025

    Great scenic location on Sky road and walkable to Clifden. Custom made breakfast were delicious. Cool setting in the countryside. Unique decor with all the musical history of the hosts. Plumbing issues, 2/3 days had to take cold showers as hot water was gone, problems with toilets not effectively flushing. We had Very little interaction with the host being check in ( even though we stayed there 3 nights) to talk with informally and get her recommendations for places to go in the area and Connemara.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Location was beautiful. Breakfast was great. Porridge and pancakes tasty. The owners and staff were friendly , courteous and helpful. Spotlessly clean. Parking perfect and safe area. All rooms upstairs with steep staircase. If mobility impaired, no elevator. Otherwise highly recommend.

  • Engine customer May 2025

    Great location, clean rooms, excellent breakfast and service. The BnB is situated in the country but just a few minutes from restaurants and shopping. The owner's music career memorabilia displayed throughout made this an extra special find!

  • Engine customer May 2025

    This is a beautiful and quiet B&B in a great location right on the edge of Clifden. I would high recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area.
