4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

It was a good location for touring around and quieter than some of the surfing towns. Roads are narrow and there are lots of coaches around on the roads.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Monday seems to be the quietest day, and many business' are only open in the evening. However we had an excellent meal at the Wildflower Restaurant in the "Wild Atlantic Lodge" followed by excellent drinks in the Snug Bar

5/5 - Excellent

Lovely little village to visit
