Kathryn was a generous and accessible host. She was friendly, easy to talk to and very helpful with all sorts of good tips about Galway and the surrounding area, plus her dog Maude is gentle and friendly. Her house is very nice, the room was so comfortable and quiet, the house is a fair walk from the center of Galway but it's a lovely walk into the center or the bus pulls up outside very 20 mins and it's a ten minute journey. You could actually just spend the time in Salthill where her house is with the fabulous beaches, coastal views, walks and of course rage promenade.
