Scuba Diving
For certified or beginners the West of Ireland has some of the best diving in the country.  Scubadive West is Ireland's leading PADI dive shop and dive centre, located on Connemara's sheltered Killary Fjord.  You will find a purpose built, all-weather, 5 star PADI adventure scuba dive centre.  This resort also holds the prestigious National Geographic Dive Centre rating.  The pristine location in Connemara Galway, years of scuba dive training expertise and range of diving activities make Scubadive West the ideal choice for all scuba divers; from those looking to learn to scuba dive through to professional level training.

Hill Walking
Connemara has some of the most dramatic and rugged landscape in all of Ireland, with soaring mountains, scattered loughs and an intricate coastline, this remote part of Galway is a world away from the trappings of urban life. There are two mountain ranges which dominate the area, the Maumturks and the Twelve Bens. Between them, they offer up some of the most challenging and exciting hill walking in the country.
 
Connemara National Park, near Letterfrack, is the perfect place to start exploring. With almost 3,000 hectares of mountain, bog and woodland, the Park’s visitor centre is the ideal spot to start your 7km walk up the 400m high Diamond Hill, the undisputed highlight of the Park.

Nice house, great location and view and would happily stay again. Only point to be aware of is that if you have babies or young children, floor boards are quite squeaky and therefore you might have issues keeping them asleep when house is full of guests.

7/10

House had a great atmosphere, plenty of room, ideal for entertaining family and friends, great location. Well appointed: lots of crockery, glasses, etc. Only issue was the plumbing, cisterns took forever to fill, fantastic victorian iron bath was let down by the fact that the modern water heater could only produce enough water to barely fill about 2 inches of the bath.

6/10

Beautifully furnished house in a great location on the edge of Clifden - 2 minutes walk to a great playground and 3 minutes walk from a great choice of restaurants pubs shops etc. Orchard is very steep and only usable if you're very ablebodied, doors are a little stiff for older people and children. Great storage area for bikes, suitcases etc. Cooker, water heating instructions not immediately obvious.
