Ardagh Hotel & Restaurant

I just wanted to put a quick comment here about the high level of customer service provided by Serge Bauvet from The Ardagh Hotel! We are travelling to Ireland next June (2025) from Australia. 14 individual nights on a loop! I had accidentally made a typo mistake whilst doing a booking, via a 3rd party agency, for our stay. It was a “non-refundable” booking & the incorrect date could have caused massive complications to our Ireland self-drive tour! The 3rd party staff were finding it difficult to find a solution so I contacted the hotel directly (1st by phone, then email). Serge was so professional, understanding and quick to act. His correspondence from Ireland (me in Australia) was immediate on all occasions (big time difference) and he took responsibility to oversee my issue! In simple terms he was a breath of professional fresh air!! I look fwd to saying Thankyou to him in person! If he represents the quality of the Hotel and their customer care I can highly recommend The Ardagh Hotel & Restaurant as a “must stay”, Connemara location, on the Wild Atlantic Way at Clifden! “Top of the mornin’ to you” Serge!!

The dramatic evening sky? Waking up on a perfect day - with the morning light on Ardbear Bay? A relaxing pint of Guinness, at the end of a memorable day? The pancakes at breakfast? The John Dory in Saffron Sauce, the Mussels, or the Lobster at dinner? The smoked salmon and crab salad, enjoyed beside the turf fire in the lounge? Or just snuggling down in the most comfortable bed for a wonderful night's sleep? We still can't decide what the best part of our visit to The Ardagh Hotel was - but we do know that every moment was special, and that we will treasure the memories we brought back home from our visit to Connemara. Thank-you to everyone at The Ardagh Hotel.

Our view from the upstairs dining room was stupendous. Our dinner was scrumptious. Our waitress was delightful. The bar downstairs was so comfortable and relaxing. Our upgraded bedroom was too plush for words. The manager was interested, friendly and knowledgeable.

Fabulous hotel and restaurant. Beautiful setting and designed for relaxation and comfort. Rooms are big as is the bar. The service is excellent and the food is exceptional… beautiful fish and steaks with veg grown on site! Thanks to Stefan and the team for a fantastic weekend

Beautiful place with a nice view and beautiful common areas. I particularly liked the very friendly welcome. Our room was spacious and very comfortable, with a king size bed. As for breakfast, it is excellent, with a view on the lake. A very good address!

Beautiful hotel in a scenic setting. Loved the decor, modern yet cozy. The staff were very nice and the food delicious. The bar area is set up in a large living room with several conversation groups and a big fireplace. Well worth the price to stay and dine off the busy town streets
