Mary and Alan's cottage was our favorite place to stay while we were in Ireland. The cottage here is amazing! It is quite beautiful and charming. It is very comfortable and has everything you might need. The beds were extremely comfy. The gardens were so beautiful and peaceful. You could see that they were a labor of love. As nice as the cottage was, the hosts, Alan and Mary were even better. They are two of the warmest, kindest people I've met. I really felt like they were old friends. I really appreciated all the extras. They were fun to talk with and had quite a knowledge of the area. The location was great. It was very close to the ferry to the A.ran Islands, and an easy drive into Galway. Alan and Mary also suggested some really nice restaurants quite close to the cottage. I would highly recommend staying here. Many thanks Alan and Mary!
