You might see lots of travel sites selling you on staying in a castle while in Ireland. For me and my family staying in this cottage was the equivalent. It had all the conveniences you will need with the added bonus of the peat/turf fireplace and old world feel. We loved the location just outside Loughrea. Quiet but quick access to town and easy drive to Galway. My husband enjoyed being able to pop over to the pub and swears it was the best Guinness he has had this trip. Teresa's family were so friendly and helpful. I have already been telling friends back home to add it to their travel bucket list!!
