Review of Ben View House
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 27 Sept 2023
Ben View House was beyond expectations. The warmth & friendliness of the hosts made every minute worthwhile. Breakfast was beautifully presented in the old family dining room with original crockery etc. The food was perfectly cooked. Desmond gave of his time to inform us of where to go & what to do in the area.
We also left a couple of items behind, & realised when we got to Galway. These items were promptly delivered to us - we are so grateful!
Date of stay: September 2023
Room Tip: Make sure you stay here when in Clifden. You won't be disappointed.

The Ben View House was far and above the best accommodations we have had in Ireland outside of the home we were given to use. There were three beds, a spacious bathroom, and lots of electrical outlets. The coffee maker was also handy.
The large and small Irish breakfast was almost spectacular in its generosity and was served with a smile. I also liked that there were tables for more than two people.
Our host was super charming and his hospitality was very gratifying. When we arrived early, he helped me set up my MacBook Pro in a sitting area and stayed there until everyone was satisfied with the wifi. I was able to use the window box for my computer with no issues.
the Ben View is located next to the two main streets and is close to shops, pubs, and restaurants.

Room tip: Everything we needed was provided with a smile

I was here with my sisters for one night, it was wonderful. The rooms were so comfortable and super clean. Des was so friendly, the breakfast was the best ever, and the location was perfect. This is a gem.
