Sylvia's place was a great home base for us on the west side of the country. It is a bit remote, but it's in very beautiful country. Nice comfortable bedrooms and living room. The kitchen is well outfitted and she thoughtfully left milk, tea, coffee, and beer for us. While we were there, we traveled to Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey (2 hours away), the Burren National Park (35 minutes away) and the Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands.
