While there were many options around the area, we're so glad we went with The Stables! The grounds are amazing, not to mention the added bonus of the horses and Pushkins the cat. Inside was cozy as can be--rustic, but with all the modern amenities you could want. Joan and Paul were very hospitable--Joan gave us detailed directions up to Connemara (which is a must-see!), and we're so glad we took her advice. The location might seem further away from particular spots you want to visit, but in reality, anywhere you stay is going to be a bit away from most of the attractions you want to see, and it's worth it to be able to come back after a long day to such a lovely and relaxing spot!
