Martina and John's cottage, farm and hospitality was above and beyond what we expected... They are the nicest hosts we have ever encountered and the weekend could not have been better. They have cows and several horses along with a friendly dog named Dobby and a tiny little kitten who was yet to have a name. They prepared us breakfast and lunch, all of which were amazing... homemade bread and cappuccinos!

The cottage itself is perfect. A lovely bed, nice bathroom and a brilliant sitting room with massive windows that fill the cottage with sun light. Water was hot and towels and even soap/shampoo was provided. They have some bikes which we took out for a ride.

Downtown Galway is about 25 minutes away... we recommend trying the "Lime" restaurant by the water if you're looking for asian food. Theres also loads of pubs and other eateries.... ask John or Martina, they know where to go.

The Cliffs of Moher are roughly 2 hours away. You can take the highway but its slightly quicker and definitely more scenic to drive through the country to Kinvara and follow the coast... ask your hosts for directions. No GPS needed, just a little sense of adventure!

Thanks again to John and Martina for taking such good care of us and providing such pleasant conversation.

PS - They have a great ping pong table!!
