This was a fantastic place to stay! It was an authentic, welcoming Irish experience with emphasis on Irish culture and a focus on the amazing Connemara pony. It was the best part of our week in Ireland. Cathriona has a gorgeous home with an exquisite East facing lake view. She is the most welcoming host. She has beautiful Connemara horses stabled at her home and it is fun to see them out grazing or going for a ride. As her home is out in the country, she met us in Moycullen and led us to her place to insure we easily made it to her place. Her home is about 10 min from N59 which is direct access to Galway (15 min into Galway from Moycullen). Once we had the introduction, we easily navigated the area. Cathriona had all the guidebooks we could imagine and graciously offered to book dinner at a beautiful restaurant in Moycullen and Trad on the Prom. We visited Kylemore Abbey, Clifden, Spiddal and Galway. All within an hour's drive.
