Whilst there are four ensuite bedrooms on the first floor with views over the Connemara country side and only 2 minutes walk to the town square.

We also own Guys Bar Clifden, an award winning seafood bar just a couple of minutes walk from Sunnybank House, Lodge & Townhouse. Previous guests have described it as follows: October 2025 We had a fantastic break at Shane's house, and were blown away by how gorgeous everything was. The house is absolutely beautiful, with attention having been paid to every small detail, with lots of local touches including tweed style curtains and gorgeous throws and blankets. It is a luxurious house finished to a very high standard, and is situated in a great location in the town centre. Shane was a very welcoming, friendly host, and nothing was too much trouble. We also dined in his restaurant, Guy's, and he and his team really looked after us. We had a great night with great food in lovely surroundings. We were very sorry to be leaving at the end of the weekend, and hope to return soon again!! Joanne Avril Rating, 5 stars September 2025 What an absolute gem! We booked Shane's house for a party of 4 couples. Shane was very responsive and communicated well before arrival. The location of the house was within walking distance to the town centre taking about 2 mins max! The house was beautiful. Spotlessly clean. The kitchen was fantastically equipped with everything you need and more. Bedrooms were all ensuite which worked well for each couple. Shane met with us not long after arrival and was very helpful throughout. We had a lovely meal in Guys restaurant and staff were very attentive. I could highly recommend staying here and will plan to be back. Michael Rating, 5 stars August 2025 Brilliant accommodation - even better than we thought on booking it. Loads of space and very high quality furnishings throughout. Will recommend it to friends and would love to come back again some time. Thanks Shane for a great week in Clifden. Paddy Rating, 5 stars August 2025 We were fortunate to spend a week in this stunning house in Clifden. The house is super luxurious with 4 spacious rooms in an elevated location overlooking the beautiful town of Clifden. Beautiful kitchen really well equipped for dining inside and gorgeous area outside with a bbq for when the weather is good. Guys gastropub and the restaurant at the Abbeyglen hotel are to be highly recommended. Shane and Rachel were wonderful hosts and went above and beyond in looking after us. The Lodge is really a home away from home, we cannot wait to return. Gerry Rating, 5 stars August 2025 Sunnybank Lodge is a fantastic house, well located, superbly equipped, comfortable, clean, spacious and we really enjoyed our stay there. Shane, Rachael and Paula are fantastic hosts, helpful in every way and we highly recommend this property. Looking forward to returning already ! Michael Rating, 5 stars July 2025 Exceptional... We rented this house in July 2025 and we were extremely happy that we did as this is a wonderful house and went beyond our expectations. From the beginning when interacting with Shane and his Team you knew it was going to be good because they were always responsive and courteous in their replies and they also provided great local information to us on pubs, restaurants and activities available close by. The house is amazing, the minute you walk in the door you see the quality of the fixtures and fittings, premium kitchen with all the modern gadgets - they have thought of everything. Four big bedrooms with en-suites really wonderful showers in all bedrooms. We were a family of 5 two adults and 3 teenagers (and a Jack Russell) and were all well catered for in the house, the teenage girls even had a separate area for their bedroom with a kitchen and living room included. ## Property amenities ### Internet -

Shane & Rachael are so accommodating & the house is so homey! On arrival, the fire was lit, the heating was on & it was sparkling clean. There is plenty of room with four big bedrooms with en suites, a big dining room space, cozy fireside couches & it is a two minute walk to the main street! We were a group of six & had more than enough space. We are already planning our next trip to Clifden to stay in the Lodge! Thank you to both Rachael & Shane for a lovely stay.
