All of the shining reviews of Ed’s cottage by the sea are absolutely true. This place is amazing. The location can’t be beat for those who want a quiet place off the beaten path, but who still want access to a city. Galway is only 20 minutes away. The place was spotless and the sea only a 5 minute walk down a picturesque lane. We had everything we needed. I saw a review that mentioned there isn’t a coffee pot, but there WAS a french press, which worked just fine for us. I highly recommend this wonderful place and am so glad we spent a few days here!
