Built for the Harbour Master nearly 200 years ago, The Quay House has been sensitively restored. Family portraits, period furniture, cosy fires and a warm Irish welcome make for a unique atmosphere of comfort and fun.

The Quay House is Clifden's oldest building, dating from C1820. It was originally the Harbour Master's house but later became a Franciscan monastery, then a convent and finally a hotel owned by the Pye family. It is now run as a town house by the Foyle family, whose forebearers have been entertaining guests in Connemara for nearly a century.

The Quay House stands right on the harbour, just 7 minutes walk from the town centre.

Riding and Pony Trekking: There are numerous Riding Centres and Stables in Connemara, taking advantage of the spectacular scenery of the area and the diversity of terrains. Many have Connemara ponies and some offer the opportunity to swim the horses in the Atlantic Ocean.

Sea Angling: Sea Angling off the West Coast of Connemara is probably the best in Europe in waters warmed by the Gulf Stream, where you can catch anything from shark to mackerel. There are several boat charters operating in the Clifden area.

Game Angling: The natural clear waters of Connemara's lakes and rivers are ideal for game angling. Many famous fisheries such as Delphi, Erriff and the world famous Lough Corrib are on our doorstep.

Eating Out: During the last few years, Connemara has developed into one of Ireland's leading gourmet centres. Specialising, as one would expect, in quality local dishes of shellfish, smoked salmon, fresh fish and Connemara lamb, restaurants all over the area have a well-deserved reputation for excellent cuisine.

Shopping: The shops offer a variety of keenly priced goods and specialise in tweeds, knitwear, marble, pottery, jewellery and local handcrafts. Fresh fish and shellfish as well as quality meatproducts are stocked everywhere with many shops open to 10.30 at night.
