Welcome to our website! We invite you to enjoy the affordable luxury of Benbaun Guesthouse, set well back from the road in the mature, leafy gardens, 3 minutes walk from Clifden Town Centre. Benbaun House has been owned and managed by the Lydon Family since 1974. We have been extending a traditional family hospitality to our guests since then.

The house has been newly refurbished to a very high standard. All bedrooms are spacious and tastefully decorated and are en-suite. You will also have a T.V, direct-dial telephone, hairdryer and a hospitality trolley in the study. In this study you can enjoy many good books, local information, some games and some chat.

Our location is ideal: Being situated on the Westport Road the Guesthouse is very easy to find and there is private car parking to the front and rear of the house. Coming from the N59 (main Galway to Clifden road), just before you enter Clifden take a right at the ESSO petrol station, go past the church and continue for a further 200 metres and we are the first guesthouse on your left.

Benbaun House is a dedicated Guesthouse, ideal for exploring Ireland's wild countryside, located in the beautiful coastal town of Clifden, Capital of Connemara. Connemara has long been regarded as the Real Emerald of Ireland. This natural terrain and unspoilt environment offers the visitors a wonderland of sights, experiences, adventure and activities. The people are warm, friendly and extend a hospitality which is the essence of Ireland.
