If you are in Connemara you should stay with Nora at Kylemore Lodge - don't even think about it just book it. Nora's place is a beautiful old farmhouse with tall ceilings and all the comforts. The room is large and airy with beautiful views of Kylemore Lake and the surrounding mountains. Their house is close to Connemara National Park (10 minute drive) where you can hike up Diamond Hill for amazing 360 degree views, or visit Kylemore Abbey (1 minute drive). Within 20 minutes are beautiful beaches (Glassilaun beach), mountain valleys (Inagh) , and the towns of Clifton and Leenane - it's just an amazingly beautiful peaceful place to stay that is convenient to everything in Connemara!
