Getting around

We are poorly served by public transport, so a car is almost a necessity. There is a good, keenly priced, locally based taxi service in Barna. There is a Galway to Connemara Bus Eireann Bus stops in Barna six times a day in each direction. The Aran Ferries bus also stops in the village.

Interaction with guest

We live on the same property/site, though in separate buildings. I am happy to sit with you and plan your day-trips, suggesting interesting drives, walks and sites. I can also help you arrange specific activities, such as fishing, or golf, or travelling to the Aran Islands. There are lovely restaurants and music in pubs, which I am happy to tell you about.

House rules

The two bedrooms are upstairs. The bathroom is downstairs. The stairs are relatively narrow and winding, and as a consequence, less physically able folks, or very young children need to take extra care on the stairs. I do have stairs guards for younger children, one for top and bottom of stairs. I also have a travel cot should one be required.
