This was a last minute decision to spend 2 nights near Galway, and we were so lucky to find Padraig’s cottage available. Located just off a central thoroughfare and easy to find, it is far enough away from traffic noise to ensure a peaceful sleep. We chose to be west of Galway city in order to be within a half hour’s drive of the Aran Island ferry leaving from Rossaveal. The cottage had all we needed in terms of kitchen supplies, linens and plenty of hot water. The view of the bay was stunning. Highly recommend Padraig’s Cottage.
