We had a great week in Breda's studio. The studio is really lovely; bright, clean, quiet and has everything you need including basic cooking facilities. There is a lovely private deck out the front from which there is a view across Lough Corrib to the Connemara mountains. Breda met me on arrival and made me feel very welcome. Menlo is a lovely little place, so close to Galway (I cycled to NUI Galway in 15 minutes) while fully in the countryside. You can do some lovely walks/runs right from the gate, including to the Corrib and Menlo castle. Highly recommended.
