Review of Ben View House
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Jul 2024via mobile
The warmest of family welcomes in this B and B. If you are looking for a traditional, old Irish welcome with stories and wonderful food this is the place for you. Immaculately clean and a comfy night’s sleep. Thank you Eileen and Des for looking after us so beautifully. Great stop for exploring the national park including the Diamond hill walks and the stunning Kylemore Abbey. Lots of places to explore including Omey Island. Thanks again Hannah and Alan - Leeds UK

This is a lovely guest house. We stayed for three nights while touring the area on motorbikes. The great welcome which we received from Des and the unlimited local advice was greatly appreciated. The room was spacious and clean, we had fresh towels every day and the breakfast was brilliant. Attention to detail was exceptional. If we’re in the area again we would certainly come back. Thanks Des and Eileen

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this charming guest house. The hosts Eileen and Desmond made us feel like visiting relatives their welcome was so genuine. The breakfast was absolutely second to none and the location is also ideal. We will definitely return when next in the area.

Excellent service, breakfast, willing to go the extra mile for food intolerant people. Good clean rooms, good homely decor and a host who nothing is a bother to help you with. Would recommend and their many rewards are well deserved. Thank you.

We had a lovely stay at the Ben View Guest House in Clifden. The hosts Desmond and Eileen were very friendly and accommodating for our last minute booking. And what a breakfast spread! We’re still talking about how delicious and generous it was! It was a delight to stay there and we can’t wait for another trip to Ireland to visit there again! Thank you so much!

Des was a wonderful host and made our family of five feel right at home! Great location - walking distance to great pubs and restaurants! Easy access to sites such as the Sky Road and Connemara National Park. We had plenty of breakfast options and the meat was delicious! Des was such a welcoming and friendly host! The two rooms we had were very comfortable. Wish our stay could have been longer!
