Hi! We live in Dubai with our two children. We've been here for 30 years. Paul is originally from Manchester, UK. Whilst Patricia grew up just outside Clifden. Willow will be our home when we eventually make the move back for good. We return to Connemara every year and absolutely love it — it’s the perfect place to slow down, unwind, and relax. The food and drink is fantastic, the scenery is breathtaking. We even love the rain! We hope you enjoy Clifden and Connemara as much as we do, and that your stay in Willow meets your expectation.

From rugged coastal drives to hidden lakes, world-class hiking, and the raw Atlantic coastline, Willow places you at the centre of Connemara’s most iconic landscapes. Begin your day with a stroll through Clifden, where you’ll find artisan boutiques and local galleries. Then, set out to discover the legendary Sky Road — a scenic drive offering panoramic views of the Twelve Bens mountains, Clifden Bay, and the endless Atlantic. Along the way, stop at lookout points to capture breathtaking photos, especially at sunset when the sky glows with vibrant colours. Outdoor enthusiasts can hike, cycle, or ride horseback through Connemara National Park, just a short drive away. The park’s trails wind through bogs, woodlands, and mountains, with the climb up Diamond Hill rewarding you with sweeping vistas. Nearby, Kylemore Abbey enchants with its gothic architecture and tranquil gardens. If you’re seeking a perfect beach day, Connemara truly delivers. Venture out to Roundstone and experience the stunning sands of Dogs Bay, or, if you prefer something closer to Clifden, unwind at Eyrephort Beach—a haven for those who appreciate the raw, unspoiled beauty of Ireland’s west coast. Whether you’re watching the sun set over the Atlantic, exploring the shoreline, or simply sitting quietly and listening to the waves, the wild Atlantic beaches offers a peaceful, unforgettable experience that captures the spirit of Connemara. After a day of exploring, return to Clifden for an evening of atmosphere and music. The town’s pubs come alive with traditional Irish sessions, and annual festivals like the Clifden Arts Festival and Connemara Pony Festival celebrate local culture and creativity. Enjoy fresh seafood, hearty Irish fare, and the friendly company of locals and travellers alike. This is adventure by day and atmosphere by night — the perfect balance for an unforgettable stay.
