Neil is an excellent host who communicated well. The lodge was spotless with all mod cons and a lovely welcome pack of fresh soda, butter and crisps - tea & coffee also in cupboard, nice touch! Fresh towels, shampoo/shower gel, toilet rolls and large utility area were a bonus. The lodge is spacious and well equipped. Tge Pier is beautiful. Murphy's pub is quiet and welcoming with friendly locals. Overall it's a great spot for visiting attractions in Mayo and Connemara as well as shopping in Galway. We had a fab time - adults, kids and dogs!
