We had a wonderful stay at Tessie's home. She welcomed us right in and offered us tea/coffee. She even then offered to drive us into Galway City. The house is about 45min to an hour walk, which is do-able in nice weather without luggage. The wait for the bus was too long for us. Taxis work well, but can add up. The room is nicely furnished in a beautiful home. Not a lot of extra space though. Breakfast in the morning was a nice treat before heading out for the day. The family members that we met were very kind.
