Eat & Drink
Dining in
Only breakfast is served – and it’s tremendous. Eat up in the airy and open conservatory whose sunny aspect snaps you awake. Expect treats such as kedgeree, eggs Benedict, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, smoked haddock scones, homemade soda bread and poached fruit… feeling peckish? Or you could just settle for the full Irish – one of the best in Ireland.

Breakfast is served until 10am

See & Do
See & DoTake the scenic seven-mile Sky road to see Clifden and its lovely coastal setting from above, taking in the ruined castle as you go. Make a trip to Kylemore Abbey, set into green hills and the perfect place for a picnic. Explore the Connemara national park and be sure to call into Roundstone village – something of an artists’ colony – with its harbour and small streets. Hop on a boat and step back in time with a trip to the Aran Islands.
