The cottage is absolutely beautiful. We traveled at Halloween and Michael had even gone to the trouble of some very tasteful decorations. It was so cosy and welcoming and great to relax and recharge the batteries. The area is great for exploring locally such as Loughrea and Athenry as well as easy distance to Galway. We also had a great time at Doolin and walking the Cliffs of Moher as well as the promenade at Salthill. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Michael is the perfect host and the local bread and scones he provided on our arrival were so thoughtful and delicious.
