Ruth and Derek were incredibly warm and friendly. They gave my friends and I a ride into Galway city every day, and made breakfast every morning for whatever time we asked, after asking us what we wanted to eat. I cannot recommend their hospitality enough.
For future visitors: there are two dogs, which stay out of the rooms and are mostly quiet. We heard barking late at night at least a few nights, though. I suggest you bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper--it's not that the house is loud, but the walls are thin and I could hear people watching TV a few rooms over or hear footsteps in the hall. (I slept on the first floor, right next to the entrance, which probably didn't help.) Just a tip!
