Anna's place was fantastic - a comfortable, cosy and well-equipped barn conversion, it felt very homely and had everything that we could need for our week-long stay in the west. Anna's detailed instructions made it really easy to locate the barn and we were warmly welcomed with a tour and food for breakfast. There is plenty of useful literature in the barn and we made daily use of the Wild Atlantic Way booklets. We also enjoyed the photo album detailing the conversion of the barn and the information pack outlining the history of the area. The centre of Castlebar is an easy 10min drive away - Cafe Rua and Bar One come highly recommended. We also enjoyed visiting pretty Westport, which is about 25mins away - Leafy Greens serves great food and we had an awesome Saturday night listening to live music at Matt Molloy's. Driving a little further south, we enjoyed fantastic walks in Cong, Connemara National Park and along the fjord from Killary Harbour - it was great to end with a hot chocolate at the Misunderstood Heron food truck on the drive home! There is also the most beautiful beach at Dog's Bay near to charming Roundstone - lovely seafood at O'Dowds with a view across the harbour. Driving north to Achill Island, we went to Keem Bay and walked across the cliffs to Achill head - hard work but absolutely breathtaking! This was a really memorable holiday for us and we would happily return to Anna's barn to continue our exploration of this stunning area of Ireland.
