Very cozy and spacious cottage with a seaside view. I spoke to Padraig briefly and he was extremely nice and hospitable. I would recommend this stay to anyone who wants to stay in a more remote area that is a bit less touristy than Galway City. If you don’t have a car, as I didn’t, it’s still possible to explore. You can take the 424 bus from Galway to the cottage. It’s about a 30 minute walk to nearby Spiddal which is a really nice village and has a cute crafts center. There are also nice roads to walk down and a path to the rocky coast just across from the house. The shuttle to the Aran Islands will stop in Spiddal upon request. I didn’t go but Padraig told me that it’s possible to get to the more popular spots in connemara but you have to take a bus back to Galway and then to Clifden.
It was a lovely stay and I hope to come back some day!
