Brian was the perfect host - He made us feel like welcome guests and old friends from the beginning of our stay. The location is ideal for a weekend getaway, or a week long stay. Brian was extremely helpful with pointing out places for us to visit so we could take in the culture of Ireland. In addition to knowing the best place to grab a pint and listen to some local musicians play traditional Irish music, Brian possesses a wealth of knowledge on just about everything under the sun and is a joy to share conversation with over a pint, which he is more than willing to do. While we were there we visited the Cliffs of Mohr, the Burren and drove through Connemara, all within a 2-hour car ride of the Connemara Cotage.
