We can not emphasise too much how wonderful the Burren Art Gallery is. We had a fleeting visit and wish we had planned to stay here longer as one night did not serve the venue justice. Bountiful love and toil has been spent by your hosts who renovated the gallery from derelict rubble to a modern space that retains copious original character with walls that you can almost feel heave gratitude for being given renewed purpose. On the practical side the gallery has everything you need to make a stay easy and restful with stylish furnishings and comfy beds to die for. There is plenty to do in the area being close to loughs for wild swimming, long and short walks through the Burren National park, the coast is 10 miles with the Wild Atlantic Way and for Father Ted fans you are in the middle of several “craggy island” filming locations. A busy time can be had indeed. Last but not least on a rainy day for you can shut the big heavy wooden doors behind you and make use of the sound system, such like you don’t find in most homes. A real bonus for music enthusiasts of all genres as the Gallery’s hidden delight is her acoustics which gave us audience that we will not forget.
