"There’s a real buzz about this place especially at the market square. It’s the type of place I could potter around all day and I certainly gave it my best shot! "We stayed at an apartment at the Clifden Station House Hotel and it made for the ideal base for a family to enjoy the charm of Clifden itself but also to take trips to Inisbofin, drive the Sky Road and enjoy all the magic that Connemara has to offer.
" One of the standout moments of the trip was the Sky Road, as she told us: " I thought the Sky Road was magic. It’s definitely one of the most picturesque parts in the Connemara region, the circular route is 16 km long. It's rugged yet beautiful.
We stopped to feed the donkeys and suddenly we were on our holidays. Out of office. .
