If you want peace and to escape the crowds than this is no better place to do it. Your miles from anywhere and yet close to amazing places to see. Recommend a walk along the canal at Ballinrobe, a day trip to Westport, Delphi and Connemara. And of course walks around Moorehall and Ballintubber Abby. The retreat it’s self is small and cosy with a comfortable bed, hot water and amazing views. What more do you need.
