An extremely characterful and comfortable home in a gem of a location in this stunning and storied part of Ireland. Much bigger than than it looks in the pictures, beautifully well appointed (the aged balsamic vinegar was typical of the kind of "basics" stocking the kitchen!) with utterly delightful hosts who know everything and everyone in the surrounding area. The garden is like something from the Chelsea Flower Show and the library is an Aladdin's cave of history, art history, musicology and literature of every kind. We spent a heavenly couple of weeks here on the cusp of the Galway native oyster season (if you're an oyster lover, there's no better place to be on the planet). We will miss it dearly and look forward to returning to this magical place.
