Lorraine couldn't have been a more gracious and caring host. Arriving from the shuttle (we'd come straight from Shannon Airport) was quick and painless, and the room was nicely set out when we got there. Fresh linens and towels, and two twin beds as we'd requested. Each morning she made an exceptional breakfast, including delicious homemade breads and scones, and always had plenty of fruit around to grab whenever we wished. She was even willing to put in a load of laundry for us one day while we went out early on a trip to Connemara so that it would be dry by the time we'd gotten back.

The location of the home was perfect for a holiday in Galway, as it is very close to the city center and the main transport hubs without hearing any of the noise from the pubs that line the city's streets. Further, we found it to be a very welcoming city that was both beautiful to explore on its own as well as an ideal base from which to venture out into the natural beauties of the west coast of Ireland. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!
