Recommendations for scenic spot to stream a match

Myself and partner (from Ireland) will be visiting your fair isle for the first time from this Sunday (morning)-Friday, for a working holiday, to be based in Douglas. We only have full days off on Sunday and Monday, so we'd like to do most of our exploring on those two days.

However, the all-Ireland football final is unfortunately on Sunday afternoon and her county is in it, and since all members of the previous winning team are now dead, they're hopeful that the 'Mayo curse' will finally be lifted..

To wit, she's keen to watch the match.
I presume we'll just find somewhere to sit and watch it on the laptop as we're traipsing around the place.

So my q is - are there any nice spots you'd recommend which:
- have internet coverage
- would be nice to sit for an hour or so
- where we wouldn't overly disturb anyone else, sitting there watching a football match at a reasonably low volume
- where we could take cover if the weather turned.

Thoughts welcome.

Gura mie eu!
