A Céad Mile Failte awaits from the Breathnach Family at this award winning Heritage Centre & Bed and Breakfast located just 8km from Clifden on the N59 in in Connemara.

Overlooked by the majestic Twelve Ben mountains this agri tourism enterprise incorporates a Heritage Centre and Farmhouse B&B.

Martin & Nora and their family run a hill farm in the heart of Connemara.

In 1992 they diversified into agri tourism and at the Heritage Centre the family share the history, heritage, culture & traditions of the Connemara.  The farm has cattle, sheep and the world famous Connemara Ponies with a few friendly donkeys & chickens.

The centre is based around the restored prefamine cottage of Dan O' Hara who was forced to emigrate in the 1840's when he was evicted from his home. 

Guided tours are both entertaining & educational and offer demonstrations of traditional farming activities such as turf cutting, sheep herding, soda bread making on the open fire and other activities & games Tours are suitable for student groups, school  tours, active retired, coach tours, corporate or incentive groups   

The audio visual introduces Dan O' Hara's Story & the history of the area. The history & artefacts room has articles and displays on Connemara through the Ages and many items of historical and cultural interest. Other items of interest at the Centre include  reconstructions of a crannog, ringfort & clochaun.

Our restaurant is ideal for morning coffee, afternoon tea or lunch stops. There is also a craft shop, internet access & free parking available for coaches.
