Clare has a wonderful and friendly approach providing excellent accommodation, highly recommended, and even a nutritious breakfast: coffee, tea, fruit, cereals and a yoghurt. Although there are no bus stop signs (ask for directions), the drivers of either the A1 or A2 buses will pick you up at the station and drop you off 15 minutes later (€1.90), opposite the Monksfield (and Waterlooville), estate road.
