After a long week of work in Dublin, I had a spectacular, relaxing weekend in Galway with Kathryn. Her home is welcoming, comfortable and exactly what I needed.

Kathryn herself is a generous soul, sharing stories and scones and providing perfect company to her guest. Likewise, her dog Maude is a love, and will happily warm your feet while you sit by the fireplace. A short walk from the city, the proximity to the ocean is unbeatable and a bus is right there if you need a lift. Kathryn and I also emailed frequently before my departure; she provided tips on transportation and possible tours, as well as information on the area.

I felt positively spoiled after 3 nights at Kathryn's home, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing few days in beautiful Galway. Thank you, Kathryn!
