The Lighthouse really is a home from home, with everything you would need for a relaxing family holiday. Our dog especially enjoyed his early morning walks along the harbour side. The location was even more idyllic than I had imagined, with lovely views from house. The local town, Clifden, is close at hand and an easy 10 minute roll down the hill after a night out. There is no shortage of places to eat and we had a delicious meal at both Guy's Bar and Darcy 12, with fantastic local produce. Lowry's certainly lives up to its reputation, being as friendly and lively as we had been led to believe. Clifden is a great location to base yourself, with so many glorious beaches to choose from - we especially enjoyed the walk up The Diamond at The Connemara National Park Centre, as well as the cake selection afterwards.
