Mary was very welcoming and prompt about responding to questions and any requests we had. The house is simple and rustic, but has all the necessities you would need, including wifi and laundry. Plenty beds for all of us (we were a family of 6). Not sure if all the cottages are similar, but the bathtub upstairs is situated under the slant of the roof so an adult can't stand up, but it worked to bath the kids and there is a full shower downstairs. The area is beautiful and isolated in the hills of Connemara about 30-40 minutes from Galway. Perfect if you are wanting to get away from it all and not be surrounded by tourists. Also, the history of the Quiet Man's bridge was interesting. We ended up running the heat at night which totaled to about 30 Euros for two nights. (Wasn't bad at all since that seems to be what others mentioned in their posts). Quite worth it since we were toasty warm at night despite the chilly temps outside.
