We used Brian’s place as a base for exploring the Galway and surrounding counties. You need a car in order to get the most out of the place. We stayed for a whole week and the cottage gad all possible amenities you need. Great and well equipped kitchen, lots of space to put things down and jus veg out. Lovely view over the Galway bay and even the Burren was visible. Easy ~5km drive down to Barna where there are a few good pubs and restaurants. Well stocked Super Valu supermarket where you can stock up on food and wine and cook at the cottage. It was simply just the way we wished . It ticked in all our boxes. Well done Brian and family.
