It was absolutely lovely to stay in Catherine’s cottage: to be within the grounds of Ross Castle, with access to a swimming pool, a lake, an intriguing walled garden, a tennis court, a billiards room was fabulous. The cottage itself is not luxurious and if judging purely on the standard of accommodation, the price tag is unrealistically high. That said, Marshall is a genial and welcoming hostess and we had a lot of fun in a truly unique setting. This is an excellent location for exploring Galway and the wilds of Connemara.
