Food & drinks
This is our favourite restaurant in the area. The food is local and delicious and the atmosphere is warm, friendly and welcoming. Their seafood chowder must get a special mention! We have been going here for years and they have never left their service dropped.

I love to go here on a Saturday morning, get some fresh coffee, browse, enjoy the atmosphere and buy some local food produce. Well worth a visit but on a Saturday! Some of it is covered over so you can still enjoy it on a rainy Saturday. I have read a couple of negative reviews about it on Trip Advisor which I don't understand unless maybe they were visits done on a day other than a Saturday. It is very much a local market.

Entertainment & Activities
This is so close, it would be a shame not to visit it. Yes it is full of tourists - Irish ones too and we have been ourselves several times and enjoyed it each time.
Enjoy the medieval banquet or the traditional Irish evening in the Corn Bar. Personally, I tend to prefer the evening at the Corn bar but my husband loves the banquet experience!

The first place I visited with my husband (who was not yet my husband at that time) where he handed me the camera and asked me to take a photo of him as opposed to do everything in his power to avoid being photographed! Breathtaking experience with a very interesting visitors centre. A highlight on the Wild Atlantic Way.
