Hugh was a great host with lots of tips on what to do in the area. Situated between Lough Mask and Lough Corrib, Clonbur is the ideal starting point for hiking or exploring Connemara. We walked up Mount Gable, strolled along Lough Mask to White Island and took a trip to Cong to see Ashford Castle. He gave us great advice on what to see in Connemara and which routes to take.
Clonbur House is a beautiful old house right in the center of Clonbur and we can absolutely recommend a stay here. There are some great pubs right next door where you can enjoy great food and live music. A supermarket right around the corner supplies you with everything you might need - e.g. fresh brewed coffee and some muffins in the morning. Even though Clonbur might be best known to fishermen there are also many young people and lots of other things to do apart from fishing.
