We stayed in the house for one week at the end of August beginning of September. Our stay was perfect in every way. The house is exquisitely equipped and furnished and the views are magnificent. The pictures really can't capture the beauty as you need to see the full panorama. The kitchen is wonderful for cooking and entertaining and two of the bedrooms have full height picture windows overlooking Salt Lake. The house is a nice walk into Clifden but you'll want a car to explore the area. Laura could not have been nicer or more accommodating. We loved our week-long stay and were sad to leave.

We visited Clifden this Easter with 2 young children and stayed in fabulous Dooneen. Before I even start on the house, let me mention how amazing the surrounding country side is, I've posted a photo below of the scenery from our bedroom window. It shows perfectly the unique beauty of Connemara and Clifden. The house itself is spacious, beautifully finished, extremely comfortable and has everything you could need on a trip....and travelling with two children that's saying something! Our hosts were super helpful and gracious and provided a travel cot and baby essentials, gave us excellent local advice on where to eat (great seafood in Mitchell's restaurant and gorgeous breakfasts, healthy lunches and coffee in Steam cafe but they are reviews for another day!) and made us feel very comfortable and at home. The kitchen is gorgeous and very well equipped should you feel like cooking, the bedrooms are filled with little extra touches, cushions, throws and the whole house has a welcoming and relaxing feel. Dooneen is a little outside Clifden but it's an easy and pleasant walk into the town with gorgeous countryside and friendly animals peeking out from fields along the way. If you are thinking of exploring beautiful Clifden village then this is the house for you!

A really super house in a great location; just outside the town of Clifden the three bedroom, three bathroom house has a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and Ballynakill Lough. The house boasts all the normal needs – washing machine and tumble dryer, dishwasher, large electric Aga oven and gas hob, microwave in a lovely kitchen-diner with lots of space. A large living room for reading or watching the large TV finishes the great package. We had a super week staying here and if returning to Connemara would certainly rent this house again. The photographs on the web site don't do the house justice!

We have just returned from a super week in Dooneen, Clifden. The house was amazing-stunning views and beautifully presented throughout. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and was spacious and comfortable which made eating in a real pleasure. Laura went out of her way to accommodate us and the two babies in our party. Couldn't recommend it highly enough!

A haven of tranquillity yet only a short walk to the bustling town of Clifden. A credit to Kevin and Laura who have created a home to be proud of, over looking a picturesque Atlantic inlet complete with majestic swans and sea trout jumping for flies on summer evenings.
Complete with every modern amenity including powerful WiFi and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, bar my own , so look no further than Swan View Cottage for your stay in Connemara.
