LOVED our 9 day stay! We were 3 people with two more arriving partway through (representing the US, England, and Ireland) and we had a wonderful time. The cottage was lovely and cosy and Pat was the best host, responsive to our needs and keeping us well-supplied with wood and turf for the fires. His dog, Lily, went on long walks with us (she was concerned we'd get lost) and loved to show off her stick collection. The cottage is close to the village and perfectly located for trips around Connemara and into Galway. Highly recommend! Thanks Pat and Lily!
