What is there not to like about The Dolphin Beach House! Secluded and quiet; tucked away amidst some of the most peaceful seaside/countryside you’ll find anywhere in Connemara, or Ireland, for that matter. Yet accessible to the bayside town of Clifden and its range of restaurants, pubs and bars. I thought breakfast was delicious, fresh food, nice strong coffee. The... more

We stayed at the Dolphin Beach House for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. Our room (water view) was very comfortable with a nice seating area outside the room. The breakfasts were excellent. Our host, Clodagh, was very friendly and runs a very professional and friendly service. more

We stayed for one night here with our one year old son. Our room did not have a bath but we had a good shower and beautiful view. My significant other complained there was no TV in the room but for me this is the plus of this place. You can completely tune out and just sit in the cosy... more

My husband and I stayed here for three nights and absolutely loved it. A great place to relax and a good base to explore Connemara. It's a little tricky getting to and from Clifden on a narrow 2-way country road, the only downside. We used a cab the last night so that my husband could enjoy some Jameson-it was about... more

My husband and I spent the first 3 nights of our honeymoon at Dolphin Beach House in Clifden. We really wanted to stay at a 4-5 start hotel for the first leg of our honeymoon, and Dolphin Beach House was the perfect choice! We had a spacious en-suite room, with a lovely view of Clifden Bay/Harbor and the setting was... more

Stayed here in rainy Ireland in August but this place made up for it. The B& B itself is lovely, has nice cosy feeling & beautiful antique furniture throughout. Our bed was amazing & had lovely view onto terrace which led down to the little private stony beach. Lovely for a quiet dip.. Was told the food would be simple,... more

If you crave a peaceful, gorgeous B&B close enough to town for some culture but far enough for some peace, this is your place. Clodagh is a natural at taking care of people - quite simply the sweetest hostess I'd come across in my two weeks in Ireland. The house itself is very comfortable and very stylish in a California... more
