I visited Galway with my boyfriend for New Years for 2 nights and stayed at Martina & John's cottage. The cottage was exactly as pictured and was so nicely furnished, we had a fantastic stay! Martina and John were so lovely and welcoming. We had tea and cake with them on arrival and they both made breakfast for each morning which we weren't expecting and it was a lovely touch. The cottage is a 25 minute drive from Galway but there are 2 different train stations nearby. Martina went above and beyond by driving us into Galway on New Years Eve so that we could have a few drinks and she even offered to pick us up when we were done! We got a train back and Martina picked us up from the train station nearby but you can also get local taxis if you needed to. If I was going back to Galway I would definitely stay here again. The location is so beautiful and peaceful and Galway is just on your doorstep. There is a tv and an excellent movie selection in the cottage. John also had picked some Irish blackcurrants for breakfast each morning which were delicious! Martina and John were also really helpful in helping us plan our trip to the Cliffs of Moher and told us which roads to use to avoid the flooding. I wish we could have stayed longer and would fully recommend this place to anyone visiting the Galway area.
