I can really recommend BnBs on this route. I'd call ahead and ask about bike storage, but every BnB owner we came across were so accomodating and friendly, it was well worth the small extra expense. Being able to properly dry your stuff out after a potentially wet and windy day is also essential IMO.
As a non-local, I would go against Colm's advise of cutting over at Maam Cross. For me, the landscape in Connemara was one of the most spectaular of the trip. Roundstone is a nice little fishing village with a couple of pubs on the front with good food. Doo Lough is also unmissable.
Our route was 5 days between Galway and Westport, but the other direction. We did Westport -> Tully -> Roundstone -> Rossaveel -> Inishmore -> Doolin then we carried on South rather than heading back to Galway.

Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time - especially the food and coffee recommendations. Not sure we will be beasting quite such long days as you guys. Maybe we will have to do a bit of a venture into ballycroy but turn back to Westport for the train on the final day.
Just figuring out the route we will take in earnest - bit of a debate amongst us regarding camping vs bnbs.
Are the locals likely to be tolerant of wild campers?
