Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming and we really enjoyed the breakfast.

Super cute house, the room was comfortable and well decorated. The host was lovely and nice. Great breakfasts too! It's situated right in front of an old castle ruin, worth taking a look. The view is incredible. Very quiet suroundings!

A bit far from cliffden center if you walk, maybe 20 minutes of walk. But that did not bother us personnally. Appart from that, nothing we didn't like, it was just an amazing experience! We should have stayed longer in the area!

Great scenic location on Sky road and walkable to Clifden. Custom made breakfast were delicious. Cool setting in the countryside. Unique decor with all the musical history of the hosts.

Plumbing issues, 2/3 days had to take cold showers as hot water was gone, problems with toilets not effectively flushing. We had Very little interaction with the host being check in ( even though we stayed there 3 nights) to talk with informally and get her recommendations for places to go in the area and Connemara.

Very nice and quiet and clean Lodge and very friendly host and wonderful breakfast

- Beautiful house really well decorated especially if you re into rock music ! - Breakfast Incredible!!!

- Its not in the center of Clifden but the location on the beautiful sky road , in front of horses and sheeps … maybe its better

Staying at Hillside was a highlight of our trip in Ireland! Ruth was an incredibly friendly and welcoming host. The rooms are decorated so thoughtfully and we loved looking at all the rock & roll memorabilia in the halls. So cool! Breakfast was delicious and the scenery around the b&b could not be beat, right by the Clifden Castle, as well as cows, sheep, and ponies. It was also an easy walk to the town of Clifden and a quick drive to Connemara hikes. On top of everything, when one of us accidentally forgot something in the room after our stay, Ruth very kindly offered to send it to our hotel in Dublin. Truly could not recommend Hillside more!

Everything was perfect. Thank you you Ruth!

The property and our room was lovely, in a great location, with lots of interesting places to explore close by. It’s filled with loads of fascinating music memorabilia that is fantastic to see. Ruth is a great host, really friendly and accommodating. I can highly recommend a stay in Hillside Lodge.

Ruth and the staff were very friendly and chatty. The whole place is packed with fascinating rock/pop memorabilia collected by Stuart. The property is right on the Sky Loop road outside Clifden in a peaceful location, albeit a little far to walk to town. Good choices for breakfast.

Nothing to dislike.

A lovely B&B, wonderful hosts and we had a lovely time.

Location was beautiful. Breakfast was great. Porridge and pancakes tasty. The owners and staff were friendly , courteous and helpful. Spotlessly clean. Parking perfect and safe area.

All rooms upstairs with steep staircase. If mobility impaired, no elevator. Otherwise highly recommend.

The Lodge is Fabulous, beautiful bedroom comfortable bed , bathroom fantastic. Dining room is spectacular with a beautiful view Delicious breakfast . Parking on sight, short walk across the road then down a path to a castle A very short drive on Sky Loop road to see the best sunset. Ruth is a lovely, kind and caring host Clifden town centre is walkable or a short drive. A pleasure to see a history of music decorated through the Lodge. Its very hard for one to checkout once checked in.

Great location, clean rooms, excellent breakfast and service. The BnB is situated in the country but just a few minutes from restaurants and shopping. The owner's music career memorabilia displayed throughout made this an extra special find!

Comfortable bed, clean and scenic views

Not easy to spot the sign from the road
