We stayed at Siobhan's place for 3 nights and planned to use it as a base to explore Galway, Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher, even though we sadly couldn't do the Cliffs trip due to my boyfriend having knee problems out of no where. But as Siobhan's place and our room there were super cosy and the weather outside cold we actually didn't mind a quiet day staying mostly inside in the warmth. :D
We shared the kitchen and bathroom with another young friendly German couple which was no problem at all and actually quiet nice as it gave us the chance for nice chats about our plans for the day. :) The kitchen was lovely and had everything one could need. The breakfast deserves a special mentioning as it was truly amazing and by far the best we ever had in an AirB&B or hostel! Siobhan provided so many thing, a lot of which normally aren't found in other accomodations: beside bread, marmelade, milk, orange juice, coffee and tea she also offered soft cheese, cheese, eggs, yoghurt and of course the often mentioned self made granola which was truly delicious!
As described the house is a bit outside the city centre but there were buses running frequently about which Siobhan provided all information. For us the location was good as we were looking for a quiet place where we could get a good night's sleep after we stayed in a loud hostel right in the city centre the last time we were in Galway, which itself is a lovely city near the sea.
Even though we didn’t see each other often due to different schedules/us being out Siobhan was very friendly and gave detailed descriptions beforehand about the check-in and how to get to her house. I also really loved the lists lying in our bedroom and the kitchen containing lots of recommendations about what to do and where to eat in Galway.
Though we "only" stayed 3 nights we already felt very much at home and part of us really wanted to stay longer in "our" cosy little AirB&B. :D So if we'll ever make our way to Galway again we will definitively check if Siobhan's place is free again! :)
