Location, facilities, information provided were all first-class. And the help given by the owner regarding our early wi-fi problems was much appreciated. Just one minor issue - the door to the double bedroom wouldn't close properly. Thanks very much for helping us have a lovely holiday.

Great for coastal walks or for jumping on the ferry to Inisbofin. Olivers Pub is just seconds away and is both friendly and with a great menu. We'll hopefully be back soon.

Extremely well equipped with everything you need. Helpful owners nearby. Lots of attractions close by and fantastic scenery in all directions. Cleggan itself has a wonderful seafood restaurant the Little Fish Cafe (less choice on the menu but quality and service so much better than the other pub/restaurant next door). The only negative was the very odd curtain arrangements in the two double rooms which got in the way on one side of the bed and did not cover the windows properly or keep out light. We think these need a rethink.
