Wow! What a find. First , I would definitely choose to stay in Spiddal over Galway. Less traffic, more charm, closer to the ferry for the Aran islands. And as to the cottage itself? “Cozy” suggests small - and this warm and inviting place is anything but small! Every room is well beyond spacious. It was by far the biggest place we stayed in Ireland, and we stayed in some very spacious places! Comfortable beds and sofas, every possible kitchen amenity, two full bathrooms, and the sea right at hand. Caitriana was almost immediate in responding to the few questions we had. All in all, absolutely the best and at a terrific value.
