Aran islands and father ted house?

Travel Info
hi, we're going to county clare for the second week of the easter hols and i want to know if its possible to visit all three aran islands in the one go. the ferry from doolin only goes to one island and back and i couldn't get anything on the ferry from galway.
my second question is about the father ted house. i know this was answered a few weeks ago but i cant remember what people said, is it around lisdoonvarna?

Travel Tips

It wouldn't be possible to visit all three islands in one go as there are only a couple of daily sailings to and from the smaller islands, Inis Me谩in and Inis O铆rr, while there are several to the largest island Inis M贸r from Rossaveal. (Times below) Aer Arann have flights to and from the three islands but not inter-island flights. They have a scenic flight which lasts 30 minutes and flies over the Cliffs of Moher and the islands (site below)

The house used for the television show 'Father Ted' is a privately owned house in Killinaboy, near Ennis, Co. Clare. Directions and map at the third site below. Source(s): http://www.aranislandferries.com/times.p...

Other Travel Tips
I don't know about the islands, but the house itself is near Lisdoonvarna and Doolin, Co Clare, its a B&B, so you can book to stay there if you like. Apparently its the same inside as the show
I think Father Ted's house is near Corrofin. To get to Corrofin head west from Ennis on the Ennistymon road and take the right turn for Corrofin after about ten minutes. Unless someone comes up with a definite answer I'd head in that direction and ask around.

A lot of the FT outdoor scenes seem to on the Burren (an area with grey rock moonscapes) and this, indeed, would be easily accessed from Lisdoonvarna and is well worth seeing even if you don't know or like Father Ted.

And after all that a cup of tea, of course!
I'm pretty sure it's not on the big island, I went last year and didn't see it.
