I was looking for an unusual place with some history for a suprise weekend away in Ireland for my boyfriend's 40th, with the added difficulty that neither of us drive. This was just perfect - such a cool place to stay (he was thrilled by the barge's history, all the portholes etc.!), a short walk from the station, close to a supermarket for some breakfast stuff, a great base to explore Galway. Waking up and drinking coffee on the picnic bench on the roof in such beautiful surroundings was my favourite bit. Sandra's communication was also fantastic. Thanks so much for such a memorable holiday!
