Review of Ben View House
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 May 2022
Fab B and B right in centre of Clifden town Des is a total charmer. He's so friendly and welcoming. Chatty and interested to hear from all the guests. The Bedroom was just beautiful, clean, warm and so comfy. Bed was a dream and we slept sound. Shower large and lovely and hot. Breakfast was served in a real quaint dining room by a lovely lady called Joanne. It was just yummy and we were full for hours. With cereals, juice and choices of the Full Irish, Pancakes or Smoked Salmon with scrambled eggs, toast, brown bread and pots [and pots] of tea and coffee. We will be back in July. Thanks to all the staff in this lovely spot. 96 years in business and I can see why.

Go for it! Charming owner, real furniture, great breakfast, nice rooms, perfect service and good advice (Off the Square Seafood is the best). Oldest guesthouse in town.

Eines der schönsten B&B mit dem beste Fischrestaurant gleich um die Ecke: Off the Square als Empfehlug landlord und von mir als passionierten Fischesser. Ausernfarm ist 10 min weg und alles fast so frisch.

This a great B&B in Clifden, downtown the city !! We had a warning welcome and delicious breakfast. Deis & Eileen are nice hosts and good advice. The bedroom was also very clean. Restaurants & nice pubs nearby. Good place to stay to see Conemara landscapes and trails for a few days. Thanks again ! Audrey & Family

Des the host was lovely, and made us feel like we were home from home. Great location, lovely staff and a wonderful breakfast. Make sure to ask for their homemade pancakes! Really enjoyable stay. We will definitely return and stay at Ben View if we are in the area again.

I just finished a 10 day journey around Ireland, and my stay at Ben View House was one of the highlights of my entire trip! Mr. Morris is part greeter, guide, historian, curator, chef and companion. I was thrilled with his welcoming self.
I will be back and for sure the Ben View House will be a definite stop along my way!
Thank you so much Mr. Morris for your care...
Kind regards,
Duffy Doherty

Room tip: Tell Mr. Morris what you need and he will make sure you receive it!
