For space, Mary's lovely cottage proved unbeatable as it could secure the privacy of the two couples and the two singles we were ; for comfort, our friendly and efficient host Mary had stored everything in advance in the fridge to get us started with our stay and provided us all along with loads of hot scones and other delicious muffins ; for tranquility, countryside and seashore there meet just out of the door and Galway is only a twenty-minute drive away. Our experience at her place has been well above our expectations.
