One of the few true country houses you can stay in

Mallmore Country House is a family-run bed and breakfast. It is one of the few remaining true country house properties available to stay in. Mallmore is listed as a protected historic home, built in 1789, and is surrounded by 35 acres of ancient woodland on the shores of Clifden Bay, which is teeming with native wildlife and offers some splendid walks.

Our home provides luxurious accommodation with individually decorated, spacious rooms, with beautiful views over Clifden Bay and our gardens. Award-winning breakfasts are served in our elegant dining room to give you a perfect start to your day.

In the heart of Connemara, just one mile outside Clifden and on the edge of Clifden Bay, we are ideally located for visiting the exceptional beaches, mountains, rivers, lakes and bogland, all of which are unique to this wonderful area. We are on the Wild Atlantic Way from Clifden to Roundstone.

A unique bed and breakfast experience… combining the graciousness of our past with the hospitality keyed to the present.
