We happened upon Hillside Lodge when desperately looking for accommodation quite late one evening, and got their last room - lucky us! The house appears to have been purpose built as a B&B, and is comfortable, peaceful, very clean and with beautiful views towards the sea. Irish B&B's differ from those in the UK, in that you very rarely have... more

I was there last year and it was just fantastic!!! I really recomend it!!! Stuart was so nice, so friendly. Room was really clean and nice, every day we found it perfect!!! Breakfast was absolutely tasty!! Breakfast area was so nice, clean and lovely. Clifden is a perfect area to spend a few days. Just one more thing, when we... more

We stayed here for 2 nights. We initially requested the kingsize room (room no. 6), but it was only available for the 2nd night. So we were given room no. 5 for the first night. It was nice and cosy but not as fantastic as room no. 6!!! Highly recommend it. There's a lovely lounge on the ground floor for... more

Hillside Lodge is located on a beautiful Sky Road on the Atlantic Coast. The place is warm, very clean and nicely decorated. Tasty breakfast - choice of either continental or Irish. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone exploring beautiful Connemara. more

We spent two nights at Hillside Lodge. The house is very beautiful and the location is ideal if you enjoy going for walks. Even the town is not too far to walk to.

fabulous b and b, great decor, breakfast was first class, staff friendly and welcoming, room was comforable, light and airy. i have travelled quite a bit and this would be one of the best places i have stayed. more

There are many positives to this B&B. The house and location are lovely. The rooms are large, elegantly furnished with a clean bathroom. For those of you who would like a TV - be aware there isn't one in the room nor in the guests lounge area. There is a folder in the room with good recommendations as to where... more

What a wondeful home to stay in. The quality of the rooms, decor and breakfast was on a par with a boutique hotel. We're not sure how Ruth does it on the amazing prices she charges! We had such a wonderful relaxed stay and would highly recommend this stylish, friendly and warm, welcoming home to anyone. Connemara and Clifden are... more

We only stayed here 1 night, but wished we had stayed longer. We decided to stay at hillside because of its location and recommendations on trip advisor. We weren't disappointed. Ruth made us feel very welcome, our room was very clean and comfortable, and breakfast was excellent. This was one of favorite B&B's that we stayed at during our 2... more
