Spacious and bright apartment in the center of Clifden
The apartment is ideally located in the town center of Clifden, a great little town. It is functional (several bathrooms, well equipped, parking spaces, etc.), bright, spacious and comfortable. We were 6 adults and 1 baby, we stayed 3 nights and could have stayed longer without a problem! The rental agency is very reactive when contacted. Thank you for this stay!

Clifden Retreat
Comfortable and clean. Plenty of room for each of us four ladies to have our own space. Living room and kitchen are well laid out together with open concept and access to the patio which wraps around the apartment! Great view of the town and the occasional full double rainbow. All the beds were great and shades blacked out the sun if necessary. The church across the way would toll starting at six a.m. which made us laugh but overall the place was a great location and really enjoyable. We were a little confused with the actual location and figuring out how to access the keys but it was worth it.

Excellent Location, Excellent, Responsive Caretaker
We’ve rented this location for several years. The primary positive feature is the location. The amenities are average. The owners did some required maintenance since our last stay in 2021, however, little attention has bee; given to several items which have not been addressed since our first stay, two upstairs doors to the upper deck did not open during our first stay and could not be opened during this stay. The shade in the upstairs en suite bedroom malfunctions; it must be opened all the way or closed completely and when it is closed it releases the entire shade onto the floor. This year we awoke and entered the kitchen to find the heater adjacent to the refrigerator dangerously hot and we smelled an electrical burn. We immediately called the caregiver who responded immediately by calling Love Connemara. We left the apartment until we were told that the matter had been addressed. We were told that a malfunctioning electrical switch had been replaced and the issue resolved. However, three or more hours after the repair, with all switches off, the heat remained too hot to the touch. I called Love Connemara, the rental agent, to express my concern. The young woman with who. I spoke was terse and appeared aggravated when I expressed my concern, stopping me mid-conversation, she said ”stop talking and listen to me, I’ve told you it’s not a problem. It will cool down.” Didn’t like her attitude then and as I recall the experience, my opinion has not changed. It was a safety and I was important and she brushed it off and appeared aggravated that we expressed concern that the unit remained too hot to touch three hours after the reported repair. That said, with.attention given to minor updates and repairs, this is an excellent property to rent primarily because of location.

Spacious and comfortable - great home for a family getaway!
Our family absolutely loved our stay in Clifden! Apartment 144 is comfortable and roomy. The kitchen / family room area with deck is fantastic, and the multiple bathrooms made it easy for everyone to get ready to explore the area both mornings. Very nicely appointed - we highly recommend Apartment 144!

Terrific location & Beautiful apartment
This apartment is within walking distance of all the restaurants & bars in Clifden. It is very spacious and there was plenty of room for my family - 2 adults & 3 children. Apartment is modern and very clean. Also nice balcony to sit out on (although the weather the week we were there did not allow this :) ) I would highly recommend this apartment !

Sunlight
The living room is just amazing, I loved getting up in the morning and sitting looking out the big balcony windows, the sunlight this apartment gets is amazing. We sat out a few evenings with our glass of wine and it was relaxing and private. I cooked most evenings as we were in Lockdown and the facilities were excellent. Trish and Irene were so helpful too. I will definitely return. This apartment is in a great location and in walking distance of all the amenities in Clifden.

Perfect stay in Clifden
We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay in Clifden. From the balcony, we had a nice overview of the town. The apartment is literary 2 minutes walk from the centre but far enough from all the noise. The interior is very cosy and friendly, the beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped,

Outstanding value, Great location
Apartment 144 has been our choice for our time in Clifden and Connemara for three years. This apartment is conveniently located, spacious and accommodates our travel group. Secure, gated parking, an elevator and street level secure access make Apartment 144 perfect for us.

Great Location, Secure parking and WiFi
This was our second stay in Apt. 144 and we have reserved it for our 2019 visit to Clifden. The apartment is ideal for three or four couples. While the kitchen is adequate, we did have use of the freezer portion of the refrigerator because it was completely frozen. We reported this to the caretaker who assured us that Love Connemara would address the problem. It was not addressed during our stay. Otherwise, the apartment meet or exceeded our expectations in all regards.

The Apartment is in a great location and has plenty of room. However we were a little disappointed.
The apartment is huge and very light and airy. It is probably one of the best apartments to stay in town in terms of location and it was wonderful to have the big windows so we could sit and watch the trees (and the rain). However, we were a bit disappointed. Just before we left we read reviews online about the hot water and we experienced this for ourselves also. The hot water just isn't hot. In fact it is very cool. There is no way you could have a bath. A shower was bearable. There was only 2 of us staying in the flat, so I dread to think how the system would cope with 6 people. There were also a number of things that needed fixing like the door to the upstairs bedroom balcony. A metal plate in the downstairs shower was held on by a rusty screw and clanked about every time you opened the door and the plug socket in the hall seems to trip all the lights if you plug anything into it. None of these things are a big issue on their own and ordinarily I wouldn't write a review about them but not being able to have a hot bath or shower is definitely something that would put me off staying here again. The sad thing is that these small things (apart from the water) could be easily fixed, but it feels like a lack of care. When you are paying for a luxury apartment, you do expect it to be the small things to be done well and you notice the detail. If we had chosen somewhere cheaper, you would expect some things not to be perfect. Having said all of that, it is a beautiful flat and we loved our holiday. If the water was fixed, I would definitely recommend this property but until then I wouldn't as hot water is a basic comfort, especially in the wonderfully wet and windy Ireland!

Good location
Good stay but we like our sheets to be ironed and we had to ask for an extra set of keys, ridiculous for a 4 bed apartment.
