The nearest pub is in the clubhouse of Cruit Island Golf Club, which is open to the public and is about 1km past the cottages at the end of Cruit Island. The next nearest is the Viking House at the entrance to Cruit Island and about 3km from the cottages.
The nearest old-fashioned one-room pub is either “Iggy’s” in Kincassleagh or “Paddy Neili’s” Country Inn, each of which is about 4km from cottages. Iggy’s offers excellent sea food lunches in season.
