The owners, Paddy and Julia Foyle, are always on hand for advice on fishing, golfing, riding, walking, swimming, sailing, dining, etc – all close by.
The Quay House is Clifden’s oldest building, dating from C1820. It was originally the Harbour Master’s house but later became a Franciscan monastery, then a convent and finally a hotel owned by the Pye family. Now providing Town House Accommodation in Clifen, it is run by the Foyle family, whose forebears have been entertaining guests in Connemara for nearly a century.
The Quay House stands right on the harbour, just 7 minutes walk from Clifden town centre. All rooms are individually furnished with some good antiques and original paintings; several have working fireplaces. All have large bathrooms with tubs and showers and there is also one ground floor room for wheelchair users.
I traveled throughout Ireland for over a week and stayed at 5 different hotels and by far the Quay House was the best! The hospitality was fantastic! Julia, Patrick and their boys went above and beyond to make our stay so wonderful.
Paddy and Julia were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome. Our room was very clean, spacious and eccentrically beautiful. The bed was very comfortable, and we had one of our best night’s sleep in a long time. This is a hidden gem of Connemara.
A superb place to stay. The welcome offered by Julia, Paddy & Toby is genuinely nice and warm. They care about your wellbeing and will go out of their way to assist in any way they can. The location and view is splendid. Being able to walk into town (with many good pubs and restaurants) is a major plus. Breakfast is excellent.
