Fantastic location, literally about 20 metres from the sea, with a beautiful view across Galway Bay. This is a nicely presented modern house with all facilities, and was cosy and warm in the cold early May weather when I was there. For the summer it's also got big windows to throw open and catch the breeze, plus air conditioning, and a nice sitting area in the garden, so it should be good all year round.

The house had everything I needed - well equipped kitchen, comfy bed, good shower, and a strong broadband wifi signal.

The surrounding area has lots to do - Galway itself, with the Burren and Connemara making easy day trips.

Rory was a good host - he and his family live next door, and were there if I wanted anything (I didn't) but kept out of the way and was not at all intrusive.

Overall, an excellent place to stay
