What a gem of a home fully deserves its reputation and status. John & Kathy have created a beautiful home worthy of a 5* hotel. The cliff walk is well worth a visit, what a view over the bay and islands. Their hospitality, friendlyness and advice was first class. The room was spotless, large and very comfortable with a great... More

My wife and I stayed two nights at Ardmore House in late May, 2013. Our only regret was that we couldn't have stayed longer. This is the best B&B we have ever visited. The rooms are large and spotlessly clean. John and Kathy are great hosts; they know everything about the area--which is stunningly beautifully--and Kathy cooks up as good... More

My wife and I stayed at the Ardmore House in May 2013. We could not have asked for a better experience. They have been doing this for a long time and it shows. I can only say good things about the room, the food, the location, and the hosts. Take the extra 5 minutes and drive from Clifden to this... More

Loved the hair raising drive on sky road on our second day driving on the opposite side! This beautiful B&B turned out to be more like a five-star hotel than a B&B. To make it even better, our hosts were super friendly and hospitable. The room was one of the largest we've ever stayed in with a wonderful en-suite. The... More

We have stayed 3 nights at Ardmore House. Quite simply stated, John and Kathy have indeed mastered how to run a first class B+B. Their hospitality, rooms, breakfasts, decor, cleanliness, advice re: things to see in this delightful area, restaurant recommendations ..... on and on ... are all first class. Without hesitation, should we return to Ireland from our home... More

We stayed at Ardmore House for one night only on Tuesday 8th May 2012 but we should have stayed longer!!! This is a beautiful part of Ireland which deserves more time for exploration and Ardmore House is a great place to base yourself. I'm sure a few trips up and down Sky Road would make you an expert driver! We... More

This place was wonderful. Very comfortable king sized bed, nice bathroom and extremely helpful hosts. The breakfast was a work of art! (Scrambled eggs and salmon) and had a lot of choice. All in all I highly recommend.

Spotless, modern, well appointed, very comfortable bed, friendly and knowledgeable hosts, Kathy and John, waited up for our arrival. Many extra and easy to find amenities. Beautiful location with hikes to cliffs right out your door. Large, fresh, breakfast with many hot and cold choices. Feels remote and is close to town.

Absolutely fabulous location. Rooms most comfortable, bed linens and all aspects of room and bathroom excellent. John and Kathy were so friendly and helpful, food and service were excellent. The walk to the cliffs allowed a phenomenal view of the Irish coastline and the breakers...our granddaughter was in love with the wild ponies. Definitely a repeat.

The location is fabulous, the welcome unsurpassed and the cleanliness/service/equipment/breakfast all excellent. Room sizes and bed are good too, wifi works well, proper sized TV...everything you want. The only bad news about Ardmore is that it is 5km out of town. Fantastic place - deserves the already existing extremely good reviews.
