Simon’s house is gorgeous. Out of the way and set in it’s own lovely grounds, it’s a slice of history that is cosy and comfortable while still maintaining the old-world charm. The garden is great for kids with a great swing and lots of space to run around or kick a ball. The fire pit is an excellent idea and we enjoyed a late night with it keeping us warm. 15 minutes into Galway City Centre, it’s a great base for exploring the area.
