Cathy's little cottage is wonderful! It is warm, cozy, and thoughtfully-decorated. Cathy is warm and lovely. She gave us lots of suggestions on where to eat, explore, and even on parking in Galway city! (Trust me. You need good parking karma in city center!) It is quiet at night but still convenient as a base to explore places in Galway. Martin - whom we didn't get to meet - even started the fire b4 we got back on an especially wet and windy day. This is an amazing place to stay at!
