Originally a Connemara homestead dating from the early 19th century, Dolphin Beach House has been extensively refurbished into a modern coastal home. Each of the six bedrooms has an exceptional view with all being finished to exacting standards, with high ceilings, wooden floors, modern bathrooms and underfloor heating. There are 14 acres of natural landscape surrounding the house and a small sandy cove a short walk through the gardens. Connemara quartz hills flank the back of the house and the Atlantic opens out in the front. Clifden town, bustling with pubs and restaurants is just 10 minutes drive away on a typically Irish narrow road but there is an excellent taxi service available for night owls. The surrounding Connemara landscape is unparalleled in beauty with stunning white sandy beaches and vast empty landscapes of mountain and ocean.Accommodation:-Bay view room: 1 king / 2 guestsCove room: King or twin / 2 guestsCrooked room: King or twin / 2 guestsGarden Room: King or twin / 2 guestsGreen Room: Queen or Twin / 2 guestsPeacock Room: Queen or twin / 2 guestsAmenities:-Barbecue AreaDishwasherMicrowaveLaundry roomFree WIFIAll-inclusiveCheck-in time is from 4 pmCheck-out time is from 10 amUtilities are charged at €25 per nightTerms & rules: No smoking or parties allowed ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 8.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 5,382 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90830000/90827800/90827794/d9290588.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Clifden's premier holiday home with heated pool + sauna - sleeps 24 Clifden - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 19 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=90827794&PinnedHotelID=90827794&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/21800000/21797800/21797781/5eb159a2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage 206 - Ballyconneely - sleeps 18 guests in 8 bedrooms Ballyconneely - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 9.8 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=21797781&PinnedHotelID=21797781&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/22000000/22000000/21997500/21997421/c1eceedb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Guinness House Ballyconneely - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 31 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=21997421&PinnedHotelID=21997421&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101860000/101854300/101854246/2d63b9de.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ryans Roundstone Retreats Islandview Roundstone - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=101854246&PinnedHotelID=101854246&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/63000000/62610000/62600200/62600145/d515d46c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perfect house for group of friends or for a few families Co.
