We like old buildings, so we were delighted to find this listing near Galway, a good place to locate while we explored the city and the area for a couple days. Chris and his wife have done a terrific job in renovating and updating this ancient building, giving it a contemporary feel inside while maintaining its historic look and fabric outside. The beds are comfortable, the breakfast a perfect complement to the heavy "full Irish" you're likely to encounter on long stays in the country, and Chris was a gracious and helpful host. We'd recommend a stay.
