Kathryn is a fantastic host as is her lovely poodle, Maude. If you come to Galway and I would highly recommend staying with Kathryn. Her home is spotless, bright and airy and appointed with everything the traveler needs including wi-fi, towels, hairdryer, etc. I particularly appreciated access to her kitchen and sitting rooms as there were evenings when I wanted to prepare a snack or grab a cup of tea. Kathryn made breakfast every morning during my stay and offered a range of items from oatmeal, to eggs, meats, toast, jam, muffins, juice, tea, coffee, etc. It was always quite a spread. The room was appointed with fresh linens, towels and plenty of storage. The en suite, while small, was very functional and had plenty of hot water. Her house is easily accessible by bus or foot if you are trying to access town and her place is only a five minute walk from the Salthill promenade. Kathryn's place is great for singles or families. If you come to Galway, try to stay here.
