Heavenly House
This is one of the nicest houses. It’s a piece of heaven. No matter if the sun is shining or it rains. The view is glorious and every room has a view. My family come over from America and my two grandchildren just can’t wait to see the house again. Leaving they run around and say goodbye and tell the house not to miss them u til next year. The house is so so clean and the house keepers need special praise and thanks. If you could not enjoy this home and location then I feel very sorry for you. Thanks again for allowing us to spend time in this special house and place. We will be back.

Almost there
Great location Nice house. Difficulty communicating with manager/housekeeping. Fans needed in upper bedrooms that have no ventilation. Great views. Need instructions for using stove/ heating. One shower would not operate until property manager came 4 days later to give directions. Lots of pots/ pans /silverware.

What a wonderful stay we had at Once Upon A tide. My wife and our children with their spouses and children had plenty of room. The house was very comfortable with location to Clifden Village and the views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean were perfect.

Luxury + Views + Value!
This was the perfect "base camp" for our 7-day journey around the Wild Atlantic Way. The south views over Clifden Bay speak for themselves. The house was very well-appointed (although a couple more bath towels would have been nice; we got one per person). We saved thousands by not getting 4 hotel rooms and used the kitchen to cook meals for 8 a LOT. We would have preferred to have someone accompany us at check-in to learn about the nuances of the house (heating system, laundry, etc.), but good communication from the property managers helped in that regard. I can't wait to get back to the Clifden area again, and this property will be tops on my list!
