It was in walking distance to the town which had plenty of shops and restaurants. Enjoyed the conamara day trips to different places. The house was very clean and had all the essentials . A tumble dryer would of been great or a clothes line to dry the towels when we used them up. We would like to come back to clifden again.

Was clean and very tidy and very well equipped. Was ideal for our requirements. Was a little dissapointed with the quality of beds and bedding, they could have been better. The water from the taps and in the toilets was brown and unsure why, as no explanation in the property. Wasnât sure if safe to drink so didnât. Our assumption was that it was something to do with the bogs ? Concern about the smell from the boiler, if it had been in the kitchen it would definitely be of concern. Although only had it in for a short time 2x a day for hot water. May need the owner to get it checked. All in all enjoyed our stay and after a few improvements our rating would have been far higher

On further investigation we turned on the boiler which had very strong fumes coming from it and believing that this could be a health and safety issue we contacted Joy who said she would contact plumber to check it. We did not have any visit from a plumber. We also were very unhappy that all the tap water and all the water from the mains was highly discoloured. On reporting this to Joy she said this was endemic to Clifden although we saw no evidence of that in other places in Clifden. For the money we paid we would certainly have expected a higher level of furnishings and equipment. The bedding and towels were seriously sub standard, verging on the unacceptable. For a property suitable for at least six people it was very sub standard, e.g. lack of place settings and simple equipment like egg cups etc. We have normally been happy with our Sykes bookings in the past but this has been a real disappointment..
