We loved it!
First of all to say the O Donnell family are lovely people, we felt very comfortable, like good old neighbours. Thank you, we enjoyed the chats with both of you! And thank you for the painted stones made your son, please tell him, we have them placed on our pantry next to the buddah and the miniature VW Surf van.
Well, if visit Carna and check in at the O Donnell family on Mweenish Island you will get a nice detached house with everything you need in it, a fantastic backyard terrace (well "backyard" might be misleading as it is the great outdoors and your terrace area is defined by a knee high wall framed with flowerbeds:) with a breathtaking view over the countryside to the mountains, a small sand beach surrounded by rocks with cristal clear turquoise water and last but not least the option to leave all stress of work behind you.
From the house of the O Donnels leads a cul de sac road to the house. In the evening you will sometimes see Mr O Donnell who leads their 3 cows and theirs three sweet young calves (just a hobby;) to the feeder. Whenever you meet Mr. And Mrs. O Donnell you can take the chance to have a literate chat with them and they will always be open to give you some good ideas of what to do or what to see and which way to go.
We haven't been to any restaurant in the area but in case you intend to do self catering, please note that in these rural areas supermarkets are not to be found on the next corner. The next Aldi is in Clifden.
So check before you pack!
