We stayed in no. 9 for 9 nights in August 2017. Family, two children and a Granny. The cottage has all you need and is very close to Barna village which has excellent facilities including pubs, restaurants, shops, pharmacy, taxi, takeaways and more. Walkable in 5 minutes. Cottages have a manager Tom who will help and support your stay. Lovely hosts Dan and Sarah who live nearby. Direct public transport into Galway or out to Connemara. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottages.
