We all 4 (2 adults, 2 teenagers) loved everything about Curraghmore House and it’s environs.
Really quiet and rural location but only 10 mins drive to Athenry - a small locals town but it had all we needed; the Old Barracks there is well worth a visit for breakfast/brunch/lunch.
Galway City is ~ 30 mins drive though we caught the train from Athenry and avoided Summer traffic. Train route was excellent and same price as parking in Galway City centre. All day parking at Athenry Station is only a few Euro for a full day.
Michael is a true Superhost. He was engaging, informative and so helpful on local advice and knowledge. On his recommendation we took a trip to Loughrea Lake where we had a wonderful swim.
We also loved the outbuilding ‘games room’ too at Curraghmore - not plush or elaborate but great all the same for adults, children and teens alike.
We were there in high-Summer but we would happily return in any season
