*****************************************************************Clifden Town is the capital of Connemara one of the most scenic regions in Ireland. Established in the early 1800’s at Clifden Bay, it follows the classic 19th century layout: oval in plan, with three principal streets – Market Street, Main Street and Bridge Street, a Market Square, a fine bridewell or gaol, courthouse and harbour.
Clifden today is a vibrant and cultural town which has retained its historic roots while offering a wide range of services and facilities. You will find colourful streets with a great selection of small local food shops – (fishmongers, butchers, fruit and vegetable store, delicatessens and a bakery), numerous craft and gift shops, art galleries and exhibitions and other interesting shops including antique shops, designer clothes shops, jewellery and vintage shops.
A wide selection of pubs and music sessions in Clifden
In between all of these you will find a great selection of restaurants, cafes and pubs. Most pubs in Clifden serve bar food and have live music weekly. On the practical side there are four supermarkets (including Aldi and Lidl), two banks, three chemists, two petrol stations, two churches and a post office.
For many, the allure of Connemara is in the ever-changing scenery, the magical light, walks on the beach, turf fires, the rugged landscape, wildlife and flora, the sense of history or a plate of fresh oysters and a pint of Guinness by the fire singing along to a local music session.

“LOVELY COTTAGE IN PERFECT LOCATION” The property is ideally situated in a quiet locaton in the centre of Clifden, under 5 minutes walk to shops/pubs/restaurants etc. I own a business managing holiday properties in York so I know the high standards expected by guests and this cottage met them all, being very well equipped and spotlessley clean. The welcome pack of wine, chocolate, fresh fruit and bread was a very nice touch. Shane the owner was what every owner should be greeting arriving guests. Charming, informative and brief ! Only one very minor gripe, brighter lightbulbs neeeded in living room which can be a bit gloomy at times. Two tips. Best place for breakfast is called 'Off The Square', nice atmosphere, well cooked food and good value. Best place for dinner, 'Mitchells' we went there on two consecutive nights, not cheap but simply some of the best food we have ever tasted. Seafood outstanding, Irish Stew excellent, lovely amosphere and great friendly and efficient service.

“Excellent Stay” We had an excellent stay at Sunnybank Cottage in July. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. Great location just a minute's walk into the village. The kitchen facilities are great and you have everything you need for cooking at home. One big plus for families is the membership to the swimming pool at the Station House. lovely stay and we hope to return.

“Extremely warm and inviting in an excellent location” We loved our stay at the Sunnybank Cottage. Shane was an excellent host and the cottage was very homey. It had everything we needed and thecity center just down the hill made the stay that much more pleasant.

Review Submitted: September 16, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
We spent two wonderful weeks in beautiful Sunnybank cottage. The house itself is so cosy, the interior makes you totally feel at home at once. The location is great, so near to the centre of Clifden, to the pubs and shopping facilities. We often used the near-by tennis court, fitness centre and pool.
The owner were very helpful and adviced us very interesing sights and places. Great people, really!
We enjoyed every single minute in Clifden and can only highly recommend it! We are still sad to have left!

This house was great for a small family. It's really comfortable and has a lovely open plan kitchen / sitting room with a big sofas and an old open fire....! The owner, Shane, went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, particularly for the children. It made our holiday stress-free and very relaxing in this home away from home.
