This friendly, modern hotel overlooking the harbour has comfortable, minimalist rooms, a decent bar and a small gym with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room.
Overlooking the ruins of the 15th-century McSwyne’s Castle, Castle Murray is no castle itself, but a boutique hotel in a rambling old beach house.
Multitalented host Patricia Faherty paints the watercolours that adorn this cheery B&B’s rooms and can organise painting lessons for guests. Patricia is also a trained cook and whips up wholesome evening meals (€12 to €15) by request.
The luxury, ivy-clad, Georgian B&B Bruckless House sprawls over 18 acres of gardens sloping down to the shore. Fronted by a traditional cobbled farmyard, it’s home to a stud farm for Connemara ponies.
Accommodating hosts with plenty of local knowledge and the time to share it make this small B&B a great find. The cosy rooms are tastefully decorated in neutral colours and the locally smoked sal- mon for breakfast is worth the trip alone.
