This house is ideally located to explore Connemara and surrounding areas. Kathleen our host was very helpful in the run up to our visit with good communication. All the basic essentials ie milk, tea, coffee, cereals, butter etc. were supplied which came in handy upon arrival. Accommodation is clean and well equipped. Internet connection was good one day and than seamed to be not connected another day, so it was very hit and miss. Vodafone coverage was not available in the house but if one went up to the road you should have service again. The pub next door did not open during our stay and I believe it's a case of hit and miss if it's opened. If you travel to Carraroe which is about 10 minutes away there are a few nice takeaways. I would recommend 'An Cuan' Fish & Chips, a very nice take away. Also very limited restaurant/ dine in premises but we did go to the 'Royal Garden' Chinese in Carraroe which was nice. There are pleanty of small shops within driving distance that also have hot counter meals and all neccessary supplies for some cooking at the accommodation. Overall an ideal location to explore Connemara.
