Liadain's cottage was absolutely perfect! I stayed there during my first two nights in Ireland and it was exactly what I needed. My initial draw to the place was that it was near Galway, but since the cottage and town of Kinvara was so nice, I stayed put! Kinvara is a lovely town with a few pubs and restaurants to chose from, lovely people, and nice streets for strolling while overlooking the bay.
The cottage itself was so lovely, it was sometimes hard to leave! Liadain has lovingly decorated the place and is sure to make it comfortable for your stay. I enjoyed having some staples (bread, butter, coffee, fruit) after being on the road. And I especially loved her amazing book selection.
My suggestion for you if you are staying there is to simply stay there! Enjoy Kinvara, the cottage, and Liadain's hospitality.
