If you are looking for an authentic Irish experience, these little cottages should be at the top of your list. Just a quick drive to Galway to see the sights, but tucked up in the hills you'd think you were a 1000 miles from anywhere. Beautiful thatched cottages that provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see rural Ireland. Just a few steps from the famous "Quiet Man" bridge. We used this as our base for Galway, Connemara and Knock. An easy drive to each and a the terrific little town of Oughterard is just down the street for restaurants and pubs.
