We fell in love with the island and Sinead’s place. It is pristine and recently renovated, gorgeous cabinets, fittings, and windows. The bed was firm but comfortable and there were plenty of linens and towels. Sinead welcomed us with some home made Irish soda bread and delicious butter and jam. The kitchen is well equipped, plenty of pots and pans AND Sinead has condiments and basic cooking necessities ready for you. She also left some eggs and cheese for us. It was very thoughtful. Visitors will want to know that bikes are essential to getting around. Of course, you can hire a horse and trap or take a taxi or tour bus, but to really see the island, you need a bike. Aran Bike Rental charges a very reasonable e20 for a 24 hour rental. Our favorite outing was to the Worm Hole, it takes a bit of determination to find the place, but once there, it’s pure magic. We approached from the low side, not from Dun Angusa, a bit of a walk from the road where we left our bikes, but worth it. There is a SPAR in town but it closes very early (like 5 PM) and the prices are high. Bring food if you can. There are a couple of restaurants but we only ate once at Joe Atty and it was really good. We cooked in the kitchen because it was so well outfitted.
