Kate's home is set on the edge of a village in lovely quiet countryside, and well placed for the trips we made to Connemara, County Clare and Galway. To make the most of this location, we feel it would certainly be necessary to have the use of a car. The comfy bed made for a wonderful night's sleep, and we really appreciated the wholesome and tasty breakfasts that Kate left for us. The only downside to our stay was that the shower unit struggled to provide sufficient hot water for both my husband and I to spend our usual length of time in the shower, although the water in the taps was always piping hot. The house itself is homely and full of character, surrounded by a beautiful large garden, and we enjoyed our stay.
