This is a great location as it is only a ten minute walk to Omey Island, it's also a pleasant 45 minute walk to Cleggan where there are also a few more pubs and Oliver's which has great chowder. I stayed here for three months, using the time to write a book. I found exactly what I was looking for, peace and tranquility. This was also my first time in Ireland, so it was quite lovely to take in the beauty of the area, the sheep on all of the mountains, the horses and cows on the pasture. Patricia is also a dream of a host, since I didn't have a vehicle, she drove me down to Clifden to purchase groceries and often spoiled me with her amazing berry crumble. She's very kind and accommodating and always went out of her way to be of help! I truly miss her and this area after having had such a wonderful stay!
