Kathryn welcomed us with tea and lively conversation. Her passion and knowledge of Galway is evident. She promptly took out maps giving us directions for getting to town and recommending places to visit while there. There is a bus that stops near the house, but we chose to walk everywhere. A lovely 30 minute walk into Galway. We also enjoyed happening into a local trivia contest at a pub just down the road from her house. Each morning we were greeted by Kathryn with a lovely breakfast that included her incredible homemade muffins/scones. Kathryn is energetic and friendly - a great hostess.
