We booked 5 accommodations in Ireland for our trip and this one was by far the coolest place we stayed. As long as you don't require a place close to a metro area, I would absolutely recommend staying here. The place is fantastic and becomes even more so when Chris shows you the progress of renovation. Chris and Orla are great hosts giving a great recommendation for a restaurant in town. He also recommended a running route in the area which included local ruins that you won't find in any guidebook. I can't say enough about our experience there. Well worth the 20 min. drive from Galway. 5 stars is not enough.
