If you are looking to visit the Aran Islands, Burren National Park, the Cliffs of Moher, or Doolin, this is a fantastic hub! It has all the amenities you need to be self sufficient, although I would not depend on the shop in town for food. We stopped at a SuperValu in Ennistimon. The futon was very comfortable to sleep on and the shower is awesome! When my boyfriend and I got a flat tire, Ralf was very helpful at directing us towards a local auto shop and even offered to pick us up if needed.
