We were looking for a little bit of our own space outside of Galway that would operate as a hub for exploring the city, as well as Connemara. Up Away worked out perfectly. Not only was this brilliantly renovated detached cottage welcoming and well-appointed, but Brian was a spectacular host whose stories and suggestions helped to shape our adventures and activities in nothing but positive ways. Per his advice, we drove a beautiful loop through the countryside, and found some great restaurants, pubs, and live music. Our visit to Galway was greatly improved by following his lead and accepting his warm hospitality! Not to mention that, at the midway point of our trip around Ireland, it was nice to do some laundry and make our own meals in a wonderful kitchen. I'd highly recommend it and am honored to have helped contribute a little bit to the college fund!
