Ardmore House
Stay at the edge of the Atlantic 🌊🏡
Perched on the world-famous Sky Road Loop, Ardmore House is a charming, family-run B&B that captures the raw beauty of Connemara. Situated just 5km west of Clifden, this boutique guesthouse sits on a unique small holding that stretches from the upper elevations of the Sky Road down to the lower coastal path, terminating at private cliffs.
Managed with a personal touch, Ardmore House is a haven for travelers seeking peace, fresh sea air, and some of the most spectacular sunset views in Ireland. With its private guest walkway leading directly to the ocean and a dedicated picnic area overlooking Clifden Bay, it offers a tranquil “home away from home” experience right on the pulse of the Wild Atlantic Way.

About the Scenic Farmhouse
Ardmore House is set on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean amid rugged landscape. 5km. west of Clifden Town, it is a small holding stretching from the upper Sky Road to the lower Sky Road and on out to the cliffs locally known as the Slopers. Here we have made a walkway for our Guests. The views from the Slopers of Clifden Bay and the Atlantic Ocean are some of the best you’ll find in Ireland.
Tip: Don’t just drive the Sky Road—walk it! The private guest walkway at Ardmore House is a hidden gem; pack a light snack and head down to the picnic area on the cliffs for a front-row seat to the Atlantic swell. If you’re coming from Clifden, stop by a local deli for some Connemara smoked salmon to enjoy at the cliffside table.

Location Tip: Located on the iconic Sky Road Loop. While the “Upper Sky Road” offers the height, Ardmore House spans both, giving you the best of the high-vantage views and direct coastal proximity. It is exactly 5km from Clifden town center.
