Anne greeted us with freshly baked Soda bread and a warm welcome. The house was superb, very clean and well equipped, like stepping into someone's home. Every room is generous in size, and there is plenty of space for a large group to do their own thing and not be under each other's feet. The weather meant we didn't used the supplied kayaks and wetsuits, but it would have been ideal if it had been a bit warmer. The garden is pretty with plenty of room to sit out in private and the riverside setting is perfect.
Cong village is very pretty, and famous (I now know!) as the setting for a John Wayne film The Quiet Man. So, there is a Quiet Man cafe, bookshop, gift shop etc etc.
The village has a Spar shop and a fantastic butchers/deli, which also sells fish. The staff were very happy to suggest choices for tea - we had stuffed Spatchcock Chicken, and it was superb.
There are lots of walks in the area, some looped and some straight. Suggest you try the 'Seanbother' trail, parking in Cornamona (plenty of free parking) and walk the 10kms to Clonbur (where there are places to eat), before returning to the start. We did it the other way and discovered the only food in Cornamona was in a small corner shop. Its an easy walk with outstanding views of Loch Corrib.
We hope to be back someday, for longer and in better weather. Thanks you, Anne and family!
