Great location, friendly, helpful staff, great food, comfy rooms. Connemara is fantastic for a relaxing holiday and the little town of Clifden is pretty much the capital. The Alcock and Brown hotel is at the right end of town for all of the shops, restaurants and bars to be in easy reach. Being aware that we were travelling by motorbike... More

Dear Michael, Thank you for your review. However, I believe you have unfairly portrayed the hotel. As you and I both know, you NEVER STAYED in the hotel. However you have rated sections of the hotel that you did not experience - is that not wrong ? You made a phone call to book a room using a voucher from... More

Mini pain au chocolate, croissants,... More

We eat in the restaurant and the food was fantastic, and great value for money. Can't wait till we go back again, bit far out from Galway but the views out that way are breathtaking. Definitely...

We had a family weekend in Clifden for the Connemarathon and this was definitely a good choice of hotel. The staff are absolutely lovely, really friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely and comfortable and the hotel bar is cosy. The breakfasts are great, the traditional Irish is more than enough to keep you going way past lunchtime! The hotel... More
