We only went away for 3 days but the weather was so bad for the 1st day we headed back early from Westport via Clidfen. Having not booked anything, we were looking for a B&B, somewhere central but quiet. When we got to Clifden, there was not much happening but we decided to stay. We stopped in the square and immediately spotted Gannon B&B. Bad weather, me grumpy, bad roads - really set the scene!! We met the owner Siobhan and enquired about the B&B. Siobhan took us for a tour -
This was no ordinary B&B, Not only was there a fab king size bed with en-suite but we were also given complete access to the kitchen and lounge area- It was a brill apartment (for the B&B rate) Huge TV in the lounge, very comfy, great view of the main square in Clifden. We booked on the spot. As it was midweek, the town was quiet so we went for a short walk. Because of the apartment and facilities, we decided to cook for ourselves that evening. The apartment had everything we need - it was great. When we came back from the walk, the stove had been lit and the place was lovely & warm. Gerry (Siobhans) hsband had lit the fire for us - more bonus points. He also prepared the breakfast the next day - really healthy continental which we really enjoyed.

We absolutely loved every minute of our stay and even stayed for a second night. I'd recommend it to any visitor to Clifden. great place, Great hosts as well. I think this was their first year open but very high standard all round.
