    Stayed recently at the Mulranny Park Hotel, Mulranny, Co. Mayo. Good hotel on iots own overlooking the sea. Easy access to Achill for a nice day trip. Food was very good, all you need is good weather.

    Three responses to a question about Connemara: one suggesting an excursion to Mayo; the other two being solely about Mayo!

    OP: give me an idea about what sort of thing you like. There is wonderful scenery in Connemara, and some good places to stay, whether it be in a country house hotel, a more modest one, or a B&B. Some quality dining opportunities, and some areas that are culinary deserts.

    Station House in Clifden is a lovely spot to stay. Travel the coast road from Galway via Spidal, Costello, Ros Muc (can stop and see Pearces Cottage), Carna, Casel, Roundstone, Ballyconnely then into Clifden. Its a long journey but once you get as far as Costello and beyond you will never see a more beautiful place, plus you will be in the Gaeltacht until Casel.
    Lovely hotels in Casel also, Casel House and the Zetland Hotel (The old stately home of Vice-roy Dundass, the Vice-roy of Zetland). Carna Bay Hotel boast some of the most brill staff, but is quite old.
    Ballinahinch castle is a wonderful location if you have a few extra shillings to spare.
    Hope you enjoy your stay in wonderful Conemara.
