The chalet is situated in a quiet area, close to Galway and Salthill and is in an excellent location to explore Galway and the surrounding areas. We had lovely weather so I visited a different beach each day, a really great place to relax. There is a great pub close by Peggy's which serves great home cooked food, less than five minutes away. Instead of going into Galway take a drive out towards Barna and the Wild Atlantic way great views and some lovely craft shops and markets. If you are using it as a base to work like me it was very quiet and the wifi works well despite rural area.
