The west coast of Ireland is a stunningly beautiful part of Ireland.
The west coast of Ireland has always been a favourite of Mine a stunningly beautiful part of Ireland and long before the Wild Atlantic Way tour drivers like me made their way west with visitors to show them the Atlantic waves from places like the Cliffs of Moher.
Over all those years I have found myself in some wonderful places and one of those is The Abbeyglen Hotel set on the side of a hill overlooking Clifden bay, owned and run by the enigmatic Brian Hughes. Brian seems to have a mission in life that everyone leaving the Abbeyglen will leave wanting to come back again as soon as possible.
If you are looking for your perfect weekend away or that special festive Irish experience while in Ireland, then look no further than Brian and his Abbeyglen Hotel. Turn Left as your leaving and you’re on one of the best scenic drives in Ireland the Sky road running along the side of the Connemara hills and overlooking the stunning Atlantic coastline then it’s only a short drive as long as you don’t keep stopping to say WOW and take photos to visit Kylemore Abbey set hidden away against a mountain overlooking a beautiful lake in the heart of Connemara, the story of the abbey is a story of true love and heartache and will touch even the hardest heart.
For those who want to try some great food from an award-winning food truck then why not stop off at the Misunderstood Heron and enjoy not just great food but wonderful scenery overlooking Killery Fjord. For those of you who want to try something different then the seaweed bath’s in Leenane have been easing the aches and pains of weary travellers since Victorian times.
