Kathryn was the perfect hostess~warm & welcoming and plain good fun. She was communicative at all turns and flexible with our arrival time. We had no problem finding her, but she was ready for us in case we did. Her home, as others have mentioned, is beautifully appointed and her garden is stunning! It was too bad for us that we were only in town one night on this trip, because local girl that she is, I'm sure she could have given us many great Galway recommendations. Nevertheless, we enjoyed coffee and chat with her very much. I'd definitely stay in her very comfy guest bed, listening to the rain, again! Oh and- for longer-stay visitors with a car, the offer of parking is pretty brilliant in that you would have the flexibility to visit the Burren/Connemara etc. or stay parked for your urban explorations. Don't forget to pet Maud Gonne!
