When near Connemara National Park and looking for an escape from the busy-ness of life, stay at Gortrusheen Cabin. The scenery is spectacular and it really feels like you “own” a national park.
The cabin is quite nice and well-appointed, situated on a working farm across the lake from Kylemore Abbey. Definitely walk Diamond Hill Walk in the National Park if possible. If not, walking on the property adjacent to the cabin can be just as rewarding. Good restaurants and trad music can be found in Clifden. Letterfrack is the closest town for supplies and some good restaurants also. The scenery is the big draw for this place. We didn’t want to leave!!
