Where are some of the best places to stay along the Wild Atlantic Way?

Let’s start on the northern tip of the Wild Atlantic Way: County Donegal. Sitting just off the coast is Cruit Island, where you’ll find the Donegal Thatched Cottages. These cute little two-room homes are surrounded by stunning views of the sea and shore, providing the perfect setting for a relaxing getaway of blissful isolation. 

Travel south and head inland to arrive at Coopershill in County Sligo. This charming house is nestled in the middle of a 500 acre private estate and makes for the perfect countryside escape: cozy fireplaces, delicious home cooked meals and soft, comfy beds will make you never want to leave. And keep your eyes peeled – often you’ll spot wild deer wandering through the estate! 



The Clare Island Lighthouse has been standing guard over the County Mayo coast for almost two centuries, and today it is a restorative haven for visitors. Kick back and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze in snug rooms individually decorated with original artwork and comfy furnishings. 

Looking for something a truly unique? On the southernmost tip of the island is County Cork, where you can go “glamping” (glamorous camping) at Chléire Haven. You can choose to stay in a yurt, tipi or your own tent. No matter what you pick, the surroundings are beautiful,  The Wild Atlantic Way is filled with many wonderful accommodation options, so whether you want your stay to be adventurous or cozy, you’re sure to find something to your taste.
