My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in August and I have to say it was one of the most beautiful locations I had ever seen, and trust me I have travelled!!! From the minute we arrived to the minute we left everything was just fabulous. We were greeted by Carmel and her husband Martin and we felt... More

This is a true Irish B&B. One that was first a family home, and now embraces visitors. Before the rise of purpose built B&Bs, Ireland was populated with this type of lodging; the Irish welcoming visitors into their homes. So while you may not find the newest and shiniest of objects here, what you will find is true Irish hospitality... More

Stayed in Ocean Villa and loved it!! It's an 8km drive from Clifden, so not in town, but the drive has some of the best views in the country! The view from the house is fabulous too, with the sea practically at the doorstep! The owners, Carmel and Martin, made us feel at home from the moment we arrived, inviting... More

We stayed at the Ocean Villa B&B for five nights and enjoyed the experience. The B&B is an older style establishment that doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of its 5 star counterparts. What is does have is magnificent views, being perfectly situated on the Sky Road, warm hospitality and great breakfasts. Our hosts Carmel and Martin were very... More

My wife and I stayed at the Ocean Villa B&B for six nights in August 2010 and we absolutely loved it! Martin and Carmel are among the nicest people you'll ever meet and were always ready to give advice about trips, attractions, shopping and dining opportunities in the area. We had the front room with a fantastic scenic view and... More

The property is located a few hundred meters away from the northern side of the Sky Road loop. Clearly marked from the northern entrance of this loop road. Hard to find if you come from the southern side of this loop road, the side that offers the real spectacular views. The rooms are very clean and with new furniture and... More

While Ocean Villa was located some ways outside of Clifden my husband and I found that the view more than made up for that fact. We enjoyed being right on the waterfront, away from the town but close enough that we were still able to explore. Like other reviewers, we also stayed in the room toward the front of the... More
