Hillside Lodge is your “Irish” home away from home from where you can explore the beautiful scenery of The Wild Atlantic Way. We are located just outside Clifden town on the scenic Sky Road, not far from Kylemore Abbey and Connemara National Park. We have individually designed six rooms, four of which face onto the front garden. Our breakfast room is the perfect place to enjoy that leisurely beginning to your day, a day that may change from sunshine to showers with plenty of rainbows. The sitting room opposite is a tranquil oasis with comfy couches, inviting you to sit back, read a book and plan your day.
The fresh air of Connemara lends itself to an exceptionaly good nights sleep. It is always silent but for the occasional sound of sheep and birds calling as the sun sets on the Wild Atlantic Way.
The breakfast buffet includes fresh fruit salad, homemade muesli, organic natural yoghurt, spiced stewed prunes, and a selection of cereals and juices. Our cooked menu includes a Vegetarian breakfast, the “Full Irish”, a Hillside Lodge Special, porridge and home made pancakes. We also offer Connemara Smoked Salmon with home made brown and cold meats and cheeses.
Dramatic beautiful Connemara offers a rugged landscape of mountains, rivers and loughs, sandy and coral beaches, blanket bogs, wild flowers and heathers. This makes for a rich palate of colours and visual beauty. Enjoy your pint of Guinness by the fire after a days exploring and listen to Traditional Irish music performed by local musicians.
Stuart and Ruth together with their daughter Molly are delighted to share their home and love of Connemara with you.
