It's a great location if you're trying to explore Galway and the Connemara region. ~45 minutes to Galway, ~50 minutes to Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey or Cliffden. It's not the most modern stay and I appreciated that about it. We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and this was perfect. If you want to just enjoy the peace and quiet the loudest neighbors are the sheep but if you want to see some of the most beautiful bits of Ireland you're a short drive away.
