Well our home is away from all the hustle and bustle overlaking Lough Corrib - perfect for those looking for some peace and tranquility.
Have you ever had any famous guests?
We had lots... but I probably shouldn't say!
What is your favourite thing about the area you live in?
Our B&B is located in a beautiful scenic area at the beginning of the wonderful walking trail - The Western Way. Personally I love the scenery of the area.
When you are not looking after your guests what is your favourite thing to do?
When I am not looking after my guests, I love walking, I like meeting up with friends and I am a big fan of horseriding. I try and go out horseriding as much as I can.

Lough Corrib
