We stayed at Ardmore House for one night only on Tuesday 8th May 2012 but we should have stayed longer!!! This is a beautiful part of Ireland which deserves more time for exploration and Ardmore House is a great place to base yourself. I'm sure a few trips up and down Sky Road would make you an expert driver! We... More

This place was wonderful. Very comfortable king sized bed, nice bathroom and extremely helpful hosts. The breakfast was a work of art! (Scrambled eggs and salmon) and had a lot of choice. All in all I highly recommend.

Spotless, modern, well appointed, very comfortable bed, friendly and knowledgeable hosts, Kathy and John, waited up for our arrival. Many extra and easy to find amenities. Beautiful location with hikes to cliffs right out your door. Large, fresh, breakfast with many hot and cold choices. Feels remote and is close to town.

Absolutely fabulous location. Rooms most comfortable, bed linens and all aspects of room and bathroom excellent. John and Kathy were so friendly and helpful, food and service were excellent. The walk to the cliffs allowed a phenomenal view of the Irish coastline and the breakers...our granddaughter was in love with the wild ponies. Definitely a repeat.

The location is fabulous, the welcome unsurpassed and the cleanliness/service/equipment/breakfast all excellent. Room sizes and bed are good too, wifi works well, proper sized TV...everything you want. The only bad news about Ardmore is that it is 5km out of town. Fantastic place - deserves the already existing extremely good reviews.

This has been one of the best Irish B&B me and my wife stayed in. Nice situation on the lower sky road. Very amazing point: you can use a private small road to visit some cliffs after only 10' walk. We were at the end of the day and the colors were wonderful. The breakfast is tasty with choice of... More

This was by far the best B&B we stayed at in Ireland. The room was amazing (huge, comfortable, lovely bed and shower, every detail attended to), the area is simply gorgeous (the cliff walk was one of the best experiences in Ireland!) and Kathy and John were so friendly and helpful. Thank you for a great stay!

This has been so far the best Irish B&B me and my boyfriend stayed in. We loved the views on hills with blooming heather, king size bed in a spacious and nicely decorated room and tasty breakfast (with options like smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and pancakes with maple syrup) but it was the little details like fresh flowers in...

We have recently spent a night in this fantastic house. The location is really great and here you can really appreciate the taste of Ireland and of its amazing views. Mrs Cathy is very, very friendly and kind and gave us excellent advice about dinner. Our room (n.6) was enormous, spotlessly clean, very well furnished......I can't find other words to... More

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon in September 2011 and Clifden and Ardmore house was our favorite place. We loved Kathy and felt so at home and comfy. She gave us a special room on the top floor because it was our honeymoon and it was really special.
