My holiday was perfect! In fact I have been home a few days and long to return. The restored cottage is beautiful, as part of a large and remarkable working farm and the hospitality was outstanding - more welcoming than I could have imagined. The location is wonderful and convenient for short trips into the town of Loughrea for shopping, postage, groceries, as well as a great base for exploring Galway and the Wild Atlantic Way (north to Connemara and south to the Cliffs of Moher). The hosts are eager to share their knowledge of the area and make suggestions for trips and tours, etc. They began each day gifting me with a hearty Irish breakfast which I had not expected, though delicious, and sent me on my day. I HIGHLY recommend a stay here and am looking forward to when I can return to my new friends in Ireland.
