Nora's place looks like it is in the middle of nowhere! And it is! A beautiful secluded old home in the Connemara region, beautiful views of the lake and hills. We loved the seclusion and feeling of being in the middle of the Connemara wilderness, but for all that it is close not more than a 5 minute drive, to the Connemara National Park, and Kylemore Abbey. We thought we could see the Abbey in an hour- ended up spending most of the day touring the home, chapel, and gardens. There is a town nearby, but we did not stop there. Nora makes a great breakfast- and it would have been easy to spend the day there admiring the view.
We had a large car, and the entrance to the driveway was a little tight if you don't approach it correctly the first time, but no problems otherwise. Look forward to coming back!
