We enjoyed our stay at Alan and Mary's cottage enormously. Not only was it just a 10 minute walk from the beach (and we saw seals!) on the beautiful Connemara coast and set in a lovely garden setting, but there were even sharp knives and good pans to use inside! We were very comfortable, with plenty of good reading material available, and Alan and Mary were very welcoming hosts. The cottage was in the perfect location for exploring Connemara and Galway city too.
