Shane is a great host, has plenty of tips if you ask for them, but will leave you alone otherwise. The place is great, nice little eating area downstairs with a fire, the rooms are nice, beds are decent. Two shared baths: one half, and one full. Buddy, his friendly dog, is a warm addition to the place. Close to Galway by car or bus, and good middle ground for the sights of the cliffs or any other attraction you are headed our for. There are snacks available at all times, to boot. Tea and coffee, and quiet hours make the evenings good for relaxing after exploring. I'd definitely book again when we come back.
