I highly recommend when visiting Galway and the surrounding areas that you stay at Chris and Orla's beautiful and very unique home. Although the inside is thoroughly modern, it is very tastefully decorated in keeping with the overall style of the place. Chris and Orla are outstanding hosts that I can not say enough about them. From the minute they greet on arrival with a cup of tea and home made scones, through to the sumptuous breakfasts each morning, up to when you leave they just make you feel so welcomed. You will love hearing the interesting story of converting the church into the home it is now. Their knowledge of the local and surrounding areas and ideas of where and what to do is so extensive, you won't be disappointed. The dinner recommendation they gave me was so good that I can quite honestly say it was probably the best meal I had in Ireland - and I had some pretty outstanding meals while there. I would not hesitate in returning to stay with them if visiting Ireland again. In fact, I would recommend making plans to visit Galway and the surrounding areas just so you can stay with them!
