Clare and Paul are wonderful hosts and make you feel instantly at home. The ensuite room is large and has everything you need with lots of pretty touches. Breakfast is super and healthy, the house is immaculate and the conversation wonderful – they are two very interesting people with busy lives but are unaffected and natural and make you feel they have all the time in the world for you. The tips for where to go to visit and to eat were very helpful. In Kinvara itself I loved Keogh's pub for the chowder, Greene's pub for the "olde worlde" atmosphere, Siar for the coffee, The Merriman Hotel for a good feed, and the Crafty Cuckoo for knitwear and crafts, much of it local. The location of the house is in a quiet cul-de-sac in the centre of Kinvara which made it perfect for me as I was travelling by public bus, and so was able to travel easily to and from Galway city and along the Atlantic coast. I very much recommend staying with them!
