Gerry is a delightful host, welcomed us at the street as we searched for the house, showed us the room, fixed us coffee and tea, and had a chat after we refreshed. He offered us the tv for the hurling championship while he joined the lads at the pub. (He did offer for us to join him but we were too knackered from our flight.)

Coymullen is the gateway into Connemara and just a few minutes back to Galway - perfect for both. Gerry showed us best routes into and around Connemara and suggested several stops out and back for food and drink and as well as sites to see.

Accommodations were excellent - comfortable, clean, quiet.

All this is great - but more interestingly, Gerry is convivial, widely read, open, and vivacious. We enjoyed our time with him, limited as it was. If we return to the region, we would definitely try to stay here again.
