The Old School House
County Galway The Old School House, Ardbear, Clifden, Ireland – Excellent location – show map
Spacious accommodation and quiet, near the approach to Clifden Bay. We didn't have time to use the woodstove or the kitchen, but we would have been comfortable here for an extended stay. One of our party said as we approached, I hope this is it (and because of what it looked like, not because tired).
