My siblings and I spent a few day at Kate's place and had an absolutely fabulous time.
It was the perfect place to stay to go and discover the west coast of Ireland. Our only regret is that we didn't stay any longer.
Kate was a wonderful host giving us information and advice on where to go and what to do. If you stay at Kate's you can decide on whether you prefer to stay in and cook for yourselfes or if you want to go out to the pub for some food. The weather was fine, if a bit cold and Kate made us a lovely hot whiskey to warm us on the inside.
I would most definitely recommend staying at Kate's. The only thing to remember is that you will need a car.
