Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Beautiful place, for the price you get services like accessbto cheap washer and drier machine, breakfast for 2 euros, free showers, access to a fully stocked kitchen. I pitched a tent in a beautiful place between a cool river and a beautiful stone wall. Ideal to trek to the Cliffs of Moher. The staff let me use a guitar to make ambiance. It was great.
Disliked There are no supermarket nearby. Bring supplies.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The camping was lovely. First of all the bathroom, the guest room and the kitchen were very clear and cozy. In the kitchen there was a lot of space and everything we needed for cooking. We stayed just one night but we had the opportunity to talk and enjoy the company of many interesting people. Great location and a wonderful sunset. Hope to come back soon :)
