Our stay at Kate's place was amazing. The chalet was beautiful, very spacious and well stalked. It's a short 30min drive outside of Galway. So you get the country feel but still close to the city. Kate was a great host, she greeted us with warm whiskey/ sugar water which I highly recommend. Extremely knowledgeable of the area and what it has to offer. She was kind enough to show us around Galway and the farmers market there. I high recommend hiking Diamond Hill in Connemara. I would definitely come and stay again if only to chat with Kate again.
