Brian was a wonderful host who shared great history and general knowledge about Connemara, Galway and Ireland in general. As first-time travelers to Ireland this was quite the BONUS. The Cottage was perfect for our needs presenting all the amenities one could think of - including some goodies in the refrigerator to get us through the fist morning (eggs, milk, bread, juice - awesome)! We wanted a place outside of the hustle and bustle of town and this place was spot-on. THANKS Brian for a wonderful trip. OH, and BONUS #2 - watching his cousin's Irish Band play Sat. night at the pub in town - Amazeballs!
