Aran Islands on a day trip, take a cruise on Killary, Ireland's only Fjord, or
perhaps on Lough Corrib, Ireland's second largest lake.
The Bed & Breakfast is located in the center of a walkers paradise with the
Western Way starting in Oughterard and running along Lough Corrib.
 There

Newtown Hill, behind the farmhouse, affords scenic views of Ross Lake and the
surrounding area. (weather and walking conditions permitting.)
Tim and Kathleen, the owners are always on hand to advise their guests on all
amenities available in the area.
Moycullen is
the ideal base to tour Connemara, the Burren in County Clare, Cong, Westport,
Croagh Patrick and Achill Island in County Mayo. As it is close to Galway
City a day trip to visit the City of the Tribes is a must. Galway is a very
vibrant city steeped in history and it offers marvelous shopping. The
purchase of a Claddagh Ring as a momento of Galway is often the highlight of the
trip to Galway City.
