Highly recommend!! ♥♥♥ Alan and Mary are warm, wonderful hosts, and their traditional thatched cottage and garden in Inveran is a magical experience (to quote our kids – “it’s like being in a fairy tale!”). Our kids enjoyed walking down to the seaside, seeing the baby donkey and calves, and feeding the horses. Great tidepooling on the beach and wonderful sunsets—you can look across Galway Bay to the Burren and the Cliffs of Mohr. Just enough trail along the beach and bog to get in a quick trail run before heading out for a day of sightseeing. The truth is, our family likes to relax and settle in one spot and do day trips. Alan and Mary’s cottage is perfect for this. Easy drives to Arran Island ferry (10 min), Galway (20 min), Connemara (1 hr), Ashford Castle (1 hr+), the Burren (1.5 hr) and the Cliffs of Moher (2 hr). The kitchenette allowed us to enjoy breakfasts and a few dinners in, supplemented with Mary’s wonderful brown bread, scones, and homemade jam.
