With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to experience everything that Galway, 20 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Eyre Square, Galway Harbour and Leisureland. Situated 20 miles away, Westport is another popular choice. If you stop by, make sure you check out Westport House, Croagh Patrick and Westport Golf Club.
