Caher Cottage has a small gallery full up with Lis' watercolour paintings of the stunning Connemara…read morecountryside. Lis has now retired, so if not painting as much as she used to, but last time I visited there were some fantastic new oil paintings too. Lis is almost always happy to meet visitors, so please feel free to pop by and say hello, even if you are not planning to buy anything. I think the best time to appear is just before dusk, as Caher Cottage's view of the sun setting over the Atlantic is simply beautiful. Lis is also a bit of a history geek, and knows huge amounts about the Connemara area, its history and of course the best places for walks or beaches. If you have questions about the local area, definitely go and visit her for a cup of tea and a chat!! *In the interest of full disclosure I should mention that this is my mother's Gallery* ...but that does not stop me from thinking it is brilliant!!

Mo?

How are there no reviews for you yet, you fabulous little hidden gem?! Upon my arrival in Westport,…read moreI was lucky enough to find this wonderful spot hidden around the corner on an unassuming street. I was greeted immediately by the locals, offered "the best coffee in Ireland" (too bad I don't drink coffee), and spent the rest of the night hanging out with my new friends. This place combines coffee shop with wine bar with groovy music...what's not to love. When Tom (the owner) is there, free wifi is available (no wifi when he is gone). The vibe is total hep cat meets artsy caffeinated wino. I haven't felt as comfortable in a bar as I did there in a long time. I wish this place was on the corner of my street, because I'd be there every day.
