The Waterfront Rest B&B is a beach-front property located on the peaceful Wild Atlantic Way in the heart of Connemara. Rooms overlook the beautiful water and free WiFi is available in public areas. The property is recommended by Le Guide du Routard. The traditionally decorated rooms feature a private shower room with a hairdryer. The rooms also boast views across the scenic shoreline. A full Irish or continental breakfast is served in the dining room every morning. The owner of the Waterfront Rest can help arrange the day’s activities, with fishing on the coast and hiking on the hills above the bay all on the property’s doorstep. The small town of Clifden is just over 3 miles away, with the beautiful Connemara National Park reached with 15 minutes’ drive.
