The new owners have taken this diamond in the rough and are making it shine. The view from our cottage was beautiful. It's a short walk to the town and the beach. Daniel recommended a local restaurant, O'Grady's on the Pier, which was excellent and has great views of the water. It only took us 15 minutes to drive into Galway City and that included traffic. The cottage is convenient to the city but yet it feels quiet and removed.
