Connemara and down the road

Michele Erdvig · Host

noshot9,

It really depends on what you want. I like both Clifden and Roundstone for different reasons. Clifden is larger and hence has more B&Bs, restaurants, pubs, etc. Roundstone is a cute little fishing village with beautiful views of the water but is a bit more off the beaten path. Although not officially in Connemara Westport is nearby and makes a good base. Tell me what you want to do and see and I will be able to help you choose one.

I don't have any personal recommendations of places to stay on the Inishowen Peninsula. However, Letterkenny would be a good base for doing a day trip there. You could drive from Connemara to Letterkenny in one day on the main roads. If you want to make a lot of sightseeing stops along the way you might consider overnighting somewhere en route.

Don't forget to look at my "Lodgings" page for suggested B&Bs, etc.

Thanks on Connemara. I think any of those places would work for us. We plan to make sightseeing stops from Connemare to Letterkenny so any suggestions on where to overnight along the way?

noshot9,

Depending on what you plan on seeing on your drive, you might consider Sligo.
