Gael's place is in a great central location to explore Ireland, about halfway between Dublin and Galway with the motorway about 5 mins drive away. The accommodation is in a very quiet area. There is a small shop 10mins walk away but we didn't go there. You would need transport to get to the nearest shops for more supplies.
The place was cosy, accurately described and as per the photos, and had everything we needed. Gael was very friendly and gave us tips on where to go for food etc. The owners dogs were friendly and greeted us on arrival! :)
We recommend it as a great base for travels if you have a car and looking to explore the major attractions outside of Dublin!
