As others have said, Cnoc Suain is a special place. It's a far more authentic experience than any hotel could offer you, and will best suit those who enjoy retreating from the excess of usual life. A quiet place to reflect and enjoy peace with nature, we also found it easy to access and well-located for touring of the local areas along the Wild Atlantic Way (from Cnoc Suain with relative ease we toured Galway, the Connemara loop, we even got down to the Cliffs of Mohr from there). Then each evening we would return to the arresting beauty of Suain and our cozy little cottage filled with charm and thoughtful touches from our hosts, and enjoy a beverage by the wood-burning stove. We travel frequently and stay in a lot of different kinds of places, but most you tend to forget in time. This is one we'll remember for many years to come.
