The Old School House

Cottage tres bien placé et très bien tenu. Les proprietaires sont très attentionnés. Tres bon rapport qualité prix.

Deux petits defauts : le wifi est difficile a trouver et certaines portes des chambres ferment mal.

LA casa è grande e i proprietari molto disponibili. in un posto tranquillo ma vicino al paese. Siamo stati bene

Gli arredi sono un pò vecchi e c'è differenza tra il piano di sotto e quello di sopra. come tutte le case di campagna ha un pò di ragni intorno a porte e finestre, ma siamo stati bene lo stesso

Walking distance to Clifden town. Parking space. Spacious. Nice garden. Kitchen had all the basics - salt/oil/ sugar etc.

It needed a deep clean and some basic repairs - eg the bedroom door closures were broken and the oven didn’t close properly.

Ruim huis van alle gemakken voorzien. Op loopafstand het dorp

Sehr nah an Clifden, fussläufig erreichbar. Clifden selbst mit Bars und Musik sehr nett. Parkplatz vor dem Haus. Grosse Räumlichkeiten.

Kuschelig und sehr sauber. Netter Kontakt vom Vermieter

Such an amazing experience! The three of us came only for one night, and it was definitely too short a stay. Everything was super clean. The fireplace is a brilliant touch for a rainy evening and provides a lot of heat. The kitchen was fully equipped with spices, coffee, tea, and even oil and olive oil – everything you need to prepare dinner or breakfast was there , to buy groceries just go to Lidl im Clifden. It's a 10-minute drive to the lovely Coral Strand with turquoise shallow water and the 1,200-meter walk to Clifden is very convenient. The view of the Twelve Bens from the garden is amazing. The reality is better than on the pictures, I will definitely come back!

Nothing!

Comfortable beds, really lovely environment, short walk into Clifden. The hosts were lovely and helpful people.

Gute Ausstattung, richtig irisch, freundliche und hilfreiche Gastgeber

Rustig gelegen, charmant huis.

Room to gather was wonderful

Our fault, Far from our activities in Galway

Maison spacieuse, facile d'accès et facile à trouver. Emplacement à proximité de Clifden dans une région magnifique.

La faiblesse du chauffage dans la pièce principale. Le système d'eau chaude de la douche difficile (impossible ? ) à bien régler.

Le lieu , le confort ,la qualité et la convivialité de tout le personnel. Un lieu magique Nous avons très apprécié notre dîner et notre moment irish coffee . Les chambres sont très joliment décorées nous voyageons dans le temps , avec beaucoup de confort et le style irlandais ☘️

Location and size.

Cold, except badrooms with heater, but to be fair it was storming with hail and very windy

Spotless, fabulous style, spacious and just the right amount of furniture, window sills were amazing, old style cottage modernised. Host was amazing. We loved every minute of our stay, everything was spotlessly clean, never seen a cleaner place! The counters were shining!! The fireplace was amazing, loved everything about this place. It was so quiet and peaceful, if you needed something the host Rita was ready to help. She was so sweet. The shower was perfect. Beds were so comfy. We had the best time and would love to come again.

It was difficult to get a taxi around that area but you just have to book in advance, would’ve been helpful to be reminded about bringing your own firewood as we had to take a second trip to the shop but no harm done. It was a bit on the cold side when we arrived but the fire heated the place up nicely and the oil radiators..

Notre hôte rita nous a très bien accueilli. Pleins de conseils. La maison est confortable surtout la literie. Comme à la maison.

The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and we appreciated the walk-in shower.

The sofa in the living room were extremely uncomfortable. They were very low to the ground hard to get in and out of for people who are older.

Convenient to Clifden. Very well equipped property. Comfy beds. Plenty of space.

Superbe petite maison proche du centre à pied permettant une promenade sympa. Feu de cheminée et très confortable pour 3 motards.

Rien c'était très bien 👍

Superbe emplacement, personnel très gentil, logement bien équipé

Ce n'était pas très propre, dommage !

It was such a nice place to stay with an interesting history. It was roomy and had a good sized sitting area for our group of 4. We enjoyed the fireplace too. The beds were comfortable and it was only a short walk of about 15 minutes into town. Our host, Rita was very responsive and handled any issues straight away. She also had great suggestions for local eateries. We tried Guys Bar and Snug and would definitely recommend it. It was a good base for the Sky Road, Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey.

Would have been nice just to have a bit of milk in the fridge for a cuppa.

There was everything that is necessary for preparing food in the kitchen, all clean and tidy.

Nothing to complain

Location was beautiful and the host gave us lots of information about nice walks in the area and places to visit

Everything.

Nothing.

It's very spacious with a great ambiance. We made a cozy fire in the stove. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a nice supply of toiletries.

We had trouble using the door locks and all of the instructions were overwhelming( e.g. using hot water, cleaning up, etc.) I've never been asked to strip the beds but really, it isn't a big deal. The place is very cozy.

It felt authentic. We enjoyed making a fire in the stove in the evening. It was very easy and we had everything we needed.

Wish there was a lock on the bedroom door for privacy.

Very comfortable and quiet with a lovely garden. Located an easy ten minute walk outside Clifden in pretty countryside. We took a longer walk into town for dinner, as recommended by Rita, and enjoyed wonderful views. The beds were super comfortable and you could tell a lot of care had been put into the property

I had trouble regulating the temperature of the shower until realising if you press the eco button it’s ok

The house was very cosy and clean . Ideal location for us . The beds were very comfortable, and we will definitely return .

The Old School House is absolutely ideal in every regard. It's such a cosy and inviting house with everything you need. Michael and Rita are warm and welcoming and the location is perfect for exploring Connemara or just rambling into Clifden.

Lovely spacious cottage near the town centre. Good location to get around.

We booked this property for New Year's primarily because of the stove, which we thought would be cosy and ideal for the freezing weather at this time of year. Unfortunately, there was barely enough wood or firelighters for even one fire. Before entering the house, we asked the host about the availability of wood and were told there was a Lidl nearby where we could buy more. On top of that, we struggled to figure out how to operate the stove and ended up relying mostly on the radiators. This aspect could definitely be improved, especially for guests staying during winter. Another major issue was the shower. The water temperature fluctuated wildly, alternating between freezing cold and scalding hot every few seconds, making it very uncomfortable to use.

Good location Spacious Good hosts with clear directions and easy access to keys Decent value for money

Room doors didn't close properly Bathroom door doesn't lock Cooker a bit grubby down the sides, food and cobwebs etc Cutlery not washed properly

We liked the stove, could have been more fuel. A short walk to town. Cosy space. 2 bedrooms were nice.

No plug for sink in kitchen to wash all dishes together, no dishwasher, A bit old fashioned property but cosy The picture advertised for property shows whole house for use as opposed to the 1 part of the house which we stayed in

It was a very cosy cottage with all that u need inside. Rita and Michael were very helpful and if you needed anything they were there. I would recommend this beautiful cottage to anyone. We will definitely be back.

It was only a few minutes by car to the town. Rita was there to greet us when we arrived. It was spacious and clean

lovely location , friendly hosts

The wood provided was green so impossible to burn. I went and purchased more fire lighters but this was a waste of time.

Character and quaint

Friendly greeting and comfortable bed

Location and water heating

Spacious old school, just outside of the town. Perfect for family or groups

Great location. An easy 10 minute walk to cliften town. Very clean and comfortable. Hosts were helpful, friendly and non intrusive. We had a lovely stay.

Excellent to visit Cliffden sourroundings, very nice stay with my family. Totally recommendable!

Lovely home. Peaceful. Stayed 2 nights and felt like home.

Rita greeted us at the door with a smile and was very welcoming- The cottage was even nicer than the photos- very clean and comfortable. A nice walkable distance from town- only a slight hill- and we loved the live music and food in Clifden

Nothing!

The location was great ..very convenient to the nearest town and near lovely beaches.

Comfortable and quiet.

The house was beautiful and location close to Clifden. Great location for exploring the area.

It was a bit cold

We only met Rita and Michael for a brief period, but whenever help was needed they were available. We were having issues to get the fire going, and Michael promptly came to help, even though it was a Saturday night. The cottage is comfortable and big enough for 4 people, The kitchen is well equipped if you need to cook, the cottage can be cold, but the heaters work well after some time. The cottage is beside a busy road, but, it was still quiet and possible to sleep without outside noise. It is possible to go to the village walking, around 15 minutes. I would come back and recommend a stay here for family and friends. Thanks Michael and Rita.

All was good to us.

Quiet Place. Great for family

Nothing

Spacious, comfortable, kind hosts

Difficulty with heating and checking in

Spacious, clean quiet and walking distance to Clifden.

Nothing. All was fine.

Friendly and helpful hosts.

charming remodeling of an old building, convenient location, very clean I definitely would book again!

nothing

An extra toilet would be good. Bathroom door lock didn’t work, but they had a good signage system.

It was in a lovely location. Very comfotable. They allowed us in earlier, which was so kind of them. Thank you to the hosts.

Good location, parking,

The amenities list a tumble drier and ironing equipment. There is no tumble drier or ironing board. The listing states that there will be extra charges for laundry and ironing. I think this must be a recent change as I would not have booked this property without it having a washing machine. I would not pay €10 for a load of laundry when it is cheaper at the launderette.

The shower holder needs fixing

Great little cottage, had everything we needed.

Logs provided for woodstove

Excellent location. Roomy, comfortable property which was well equipped. Pleasant hosts.

We do not feel it is necessary to ask people to strip the beds on leaving, clean the property etc. It saves the hosts so little time and the guests are supposed to be on holiday.

The house was very clean beds were very comfortable it is a short distance from the center of Clifden .The house had everything we needed and I would definitely stay again

nothing

A beautiful holiday home and lovely hosts. Great location for exploring Clifden and the surrounding Connamara region.

the house was cosy, well-equipped in a great location. Our hosts were welcoming and super helpful with ideas for things to do places to visit and restaurants. We loved Ravi’s in particular for top traditional music and the atmosphere. there are plenty of really good walks in the area our favourites bring the Western Way, Connemara nature reserve and The Greenway.
