The pictures of the cottage are an accurate representation.
The cottage is clean, warm and welcoming.
In terms of location, it is VERY remote. it would be perfect for someone who wanted to seek some solitude whilst writing, or perhaps a small group who wanted to practice yoga or meditation, and take some "time out" from their busy lives, as it is peaceful, with beautiful rural views.
Whilst the description does state that the property is 35km from Galway, this is actually over an hour's drive along winding roads and over narrow bridges connecting islands.
There are few local amenities, so it is worth stocking up on supplies in advance if you are self catering, or preparing for a lot of driving if you wanted to go out for meals.
Locally, the POTA Cafe is about 30 mins drive, and the Spiddal Craft village about 40 mins drive away, and both are worth a visit.
If you are looking for somewhere to explore the west of Ireland from, this location is not a bad choice, but if you are looking for a rural retreat, peaceful solitude, or a base from which to do country walks through unspoiled countryside, then it is perfect!
