It is a fantastic location for angling on the shores of Lough Corrib and close to the Black River (boats and ghillies are available for hire locally). Wildlife enthusiasts have a wide variety of flora and fauna to see including some rare species e.g. pine marten, kingfisher, mute swan nesting site and bee orchids. Golf is available in nearby Ballinrobe. Local historical interests include Ross Abbey, Killursa and Moyne monastic sites, Ballycurrin Lighthouse, local ring-forts, Cong, Inchagoill(which can be visited by boat from beside Ashford Castle). It is also an ideal base for touring the surrounding countryside e.g. Connemara, Westport, Croagh Patrick and the Burren. However if the countryside is getting too much, Galway city is only 28km away where you can savour the laid back atmosphere of its shop lined streets and its many festivals (Arts Festival, Racing Festival and Oyster Festival).

The House was well equiped and the fact that milk, juice, tea, coffee, wasing powder, disher washer tabs, and shower gel and soap were in the house and as for the scones and shortbread was there when we arrived was a very nice touch. The fact that the owners were next door and they were very helpful.

Un endroit idéal pour visiter le conemara. Des hotes charmants et très acceuillants. Une maison décorée avec gout avec un environement idéal. Bref un coin de paradis dans la campagne irlandaise.
