A great experience of the old Irish way full of culture and the traditional way of life. Joe wattys and the Bar are great for a meal and a drink with lots of options I'm getting around the island with bus/pony tours and electric bikes to offer.

Had a wonderful adventure on Inishmore. While small, the people were warm and welcoming. Climbing Dum Aengus was one of the best things we’ve ever done- though not easy - worth it! The food at The Bar was very good and the owner very lovely. Found food all over Ireland to be vastly better than previous trips. Enjoy - life is short- play hard🙃

Best food is at The Bar or Joe Wattys, music in the bar is from 7 till 9 and from 9 till 11 at wattys but seats fill up quick. Take a bike if you can to visit seal colony, kilmurvey beach and dun aonghasa ring fort. Walk up is a bit dodgy with loose or slippery stones and definitely don’t go too close to the cliff edge if it’s windy but worth it for the views alone. If you don’t fancy the exercise then there are plenty of pony and traps or mini bus trips to the main sites of interest. If you like the sound of birdsong, fields full of wildflowers and the trip trap of a pony down narrow roads this place is for you. It can get busy in the village when the ferry is due but it gives it a bit of life. Tip if staying overnight you get free entry to dun ainghusa and if you have free travel pass you can get free ferry crossing with Aran island ferries if you call in advance.

We decided to stay 2 nights here which I feel was enough for us, though I know we did not see all of the sights the island had to offer. We booked the Aran Offroad Tour with Aengus for a 5 hour trip. Pick up was easy and he took us on roads that the other tour buses don't/can't go on. He gave us a great tour with lots of info about the history and landscape of this island and took us to the Worm Hole. If you like mussels, The Bar right beside the sweater market has awesome mussels in white wine sauce. My hubby had the chicken Schnitzel and it was very good as well. We also are at the Aran islands hotel, but felt the food was just ok ( we had the burgers). We chose not to rent bikes but it appeared that most people enjoyed this option is they weren't on a tour bus and there were loads of bikes to rent at the rental shops. Also, if your a diver, there is a dive shop here, but e didn't know this and this didn't bring our dive cards. Concerning the ferry, if you don't want to be wet, sit below in the covered area. It was a sunny crossing from Doolin for us and no one told us about the splashing, so, after several giant sprays to the face and some wet clothes, we moved below. Also, if the seas are a bit rough, sit as close to the middle/back as you can. Several people were very sick on the way back to Doolin. We did not get to the other 2 island so not sure what there is to see.

Perfect place to stay for some R&R in a little peice of paradise, also a lot of history with ancient monuments within easy walking distance. When the day tourists leave the whole island is so peaceful. The only downside to the island is evening meals, they tend to be very boring burger and chips style, even the fish and chips were frozen which is a great pitty for an island surrounded by water? We found the best food was to had at the Inishmore Hotel *****

The people are so friendly ,the island is just gorgeous and unspoilt . I took my hubby here for a 2 day birthday trip away and we were not disappointed. we rented a horse and carriage to take us to Dun Angus which is a must see, then rented bikes to cycle around the island, another must. When the day-trippers have gone home the place is very serene . If you're looking for a place to totally unwind away from the everyday stresses then this is the place for you .
