We so enjoyed our stay with this lovely family. We couldn’t recommend them more - and we plan to send friends and family to them.
We were so pleasantly surprised by Galway and Spiddal, where most people speak Irish/Gaelic in addition to English. There are a handful of small restaurants nearby including Pádraicíns Seafood Bar & Restaurant, which we enjoyed so much that we ate there three times. There are also small convenience-style grocery stores with good prepared sandwiches and snacks.
This location allowed us to go on day trips - Galway City, the Aran Islands, and Kylemore Abby.
