Amazing experience, wonderful host
We had a wonderful experience in Inverin at Seannadh Phéistín. The cottage(s) had everything we needed, lots of beds including fold out beds to accommodate all of us (7). The kitchen is equipped with cooking equipment, an excellent gas oven, and generous fridge and freezer. In each house there is an excellent log/turf burner, with plentiful supplies from Martina and Jack at very low cost if needed. We did not need to use the heating as on cold nights the burner heated the house. Both bathrooms have showers, one is electric and the other heated by an immersion heater - takes less than 30 minutes to heat up. Martina who lives nearby is on hand to help, I injured my hand on a mountain and Rory the host let her know, and she checked I was ok - over the two weeks she brought eggs and turf, extra bedding and towels when needed. The location is stunning, the walks in the Slí Gaoitheach (Windy way - up by the wind farm) are beautiful. Even walk up the hill opposite the house and there are incredible views. Host left effective midge spray, kind to the skin - much appreciated. Wildlife excellent, we saw pine martens, took the ferry to Inismór had a brilliant day there and a few days watching sunsets on the exquisite Coral beach. Visited Leenan, Diamond Hill in the Connemara National Park (where I fell but only because I was scrambling off the path to pick up a quartz stone out of my reach - it's very safe). Food: the Chinese restaurant in Carraroe serve easily the best Chinese takeaway ever. Would recommend Pota - a brilliant cafe which serves fantastic food - recommend the potted crab. But local food in the supermarkets is superb - they have a resident butcher who gave recipe advice as well as great value, high quality meat. Found Louise Browne's Living Ginger workshop - close by, beautiful pottery, reasonably priced, bought lots! Ouchterard close by an Standún the original Aran sweater shop has a branch there, looks small on the outside but inside has a great range, again, we shopped both there and in the larger store in Spiddal - also the craft village there - bought paintings, more pottery and jewellery - Will definitely re-book for all of the above. Many many thanks Rory and Martina. Holiday of a lifetime.
