Edith's cottage is perfectly situated in a quiet, charming, and super convenient part of town. It's just across the river from the bustling, crowded town center, so there's interesting stuff right nearby, but the Claddagh itself is more peaceful, with a beautiful seaside walk a couple blocks away. Edith is also a great host. We didn't meet her in person until our last day (when she showed up to drive us and our bags to the train-- extremely kind!), but she gave us such fantastic personal recommendations that really enhanced our trip and our experience in Galway. And Lynx is an exceptionally friendly, easy cat. We would return to this cottage in a heartbeat-- it was really a highlight of our trip to Ireland, and it's hard to imagine a lovelier place to stay in Galway.
