The homemade cake the owners leave is unbelievably tasty! It's in the Gaeltacht which is part of the appeal for our family too & there are enough things in an Cheathrú Rua for the kids between beaches, walks, playpark & a pitch. Have stayed twice now & will likely stay again in the future. It's a good base to get out & about Conamara...nice Guinness in the local too ;)
