We stayed just outside Clifden for three days while we visited Connemara and the national park.
I was disappointed at how touristy this town was, I really thought this would be our one local experience to look forward to and it was over-crowded by French tourists. Even our B&B host was French, we met no Irish locals there and even the pub's and "traditional music nights" were very tourist oriented and felt disingenuous. Even a lot of the restaurant staff were English college students on summer break.
Its a cute, very European looking town consisting of two main streets but they were full of over-priced touristy souvenir shops. The food in all of the restaurants was very over priced too. I truthfully would not recommend a visit to Clifden if you are looking for a local, Irish experience.
It wasn't terrible but I wouldn't give it more than a half-day visit.

if the weathers ok then your holiday will be ok.
if the weathers ok then your holiday will be ok. For anyone who has never been to Clifden I would suggest the drive from Clifden to Westport and admire the most beautiful scenery you could wish to see. The people are very friendly and make you welcome and the music bars are something special. Overall Clifden is a wonderful place but one piece of advice, take plenty of euros because its not cheap, I hope, for their sakes they don't price themselves out of the market.

Clifden is a lovely place, great location with easy access to many other lovely areas around Connemara. Diamond Hill walk well worth the visit for the fab views. Kylemore Abbey, Roundstone, Omey Island all lovely places to see.

Some very good places to eat including Guy's bar (buzzing atmosphere and excellent food for dinner), Mitchells (fresh seafood lunches) and a couple of good cafes and pubs too. Super Valu supermarket has pretty much everything you need to stock up (e.g. Good range of food for self catering).
Local beaches are stunning and are the main reason for visiting the area...
There really isn't much to do when it is cold and raining though.

Clifden is very close to gorgeous beaches.
Clifden is very close to gorgeous beaches. My wife and I were able to book a fine afternoon's trek on horseback with Judy and her team from Cleggan Beach Riding Centre. Never to be forgotten by trails, beaches and into the clear Atlantic.

Sky View Drive is a spot travelers won't want to miss.
Sky View Drive is a spot travelers won't want to miss. The ruins of the Clifden castle there are beautiful. Our favorite place to eat is Walshes Bakery in the city center where there are charming views out the back of beautiful rolling green hills and farmland. The menu offers salads, soups, quiche, coffees, pastries and other delicious baked foods. The service is very good. We are from California in the USA and this is our third visit to Clifden. We go every time we visit Ireland
“Great staff, very helpful. Everything was extremely tidy, you could really tell the owner cared about the hostel and your experience. Easy to reach the connemara national park, there are also a few trails that leave from clifden, no transport needed.”
“In all the places I've ever stayed I have never experienced staff as friendly or more accommodating as they were in the Connemara Sands. Even down to the Manager who seemed to be everywhere & always asking were we ok or did we need anything. This to me is what hospitality in a hotel should be all about.”
“We arrived at night, so we couldn't take in the stunning views that greeted us in the morning. Chris recommended that we eat dinner at the nearby Oliver's, and it was some of the best seafood I've ever had. At night, our tent warded off the wind and the rain without any issues. It was well worth roughing the weather in order to get our own slice of the beautiful coastline at Clifden Beach.”
