	History Of The House Dating from 1848, the house stands as one of the oldest in Clifden town. It retains most of it original features, old stone walls, original wooden floors, beams etc. Our grandparents Martin Mc Grath & Bridget purchased the house in 1926. He extended the property to include a general store, restaurant (T/A The original "Railway Restaurant") and guesthouse. Later their daughter Kathleen, our mother, changed the focus of the business to concentrate solely on guesthouse hospitality. With a special welcome for touring cyclists in an era when the car was less dominant.

The silver tea pots & coffee pots used in Mrs. Mc Grath's restaurant are still in use today in the Breakfast room.
All rooms at Ben View House are furnished to a high quality, with your comfort the primary focus.
