Edith's home was the best part of our trip. Her home is in one of the most ideal places to live in Galway city. You have so much access to everything! My daughter and I stayed for 10 days, two of these nights Edith was there with us while the rest of time we had the space to ourselves. She is a wonderful host, even provided us with a beautiful set breakfast the first morning we woke up. Her home is small but cozy. We knew we would be out most of the days so we didn't need a big space. Her sitting room is just as shown in the photos small so while no there isn't a sofa to snuggle up on to watch tv, we managed to still be comfortable with our laptop and netflix late at night when we were indoors.
The bedroom is comfortable and more spacious than I thought. Mirrors and dressers for our clothes along with a great hair dryer I used.
Staying in Claddagh you can walk to town in minutes, sit by the spanish arch and watch the corrib river, lay by the water drink and have a picnic, walk out to see the sea and salthill. Again you cannot find a better location for this price!
Her garden is so sweet. I sat everyday looking at all her flowers poppies and irish wildflowers. I kept thinking how lucky she is to have such a beautiful space to call her own.
Now there is Lynx, the resident cat who stole my heart and even as I write this review I have tears in my eyes on how wonderful it was to share time with him. He is friendly and sweet and took to us immediately. From the first night we came home he greeted us at the front wall of the home and ALWAYS came into the home with us. We fed him plenty of love and milk which he loves! He even agreed to spend time sleeping at the foot of our bed when we brought him up. We are cat lovers so I think he got that. It was super sad to say bye to him. We will never forget him.
It had been over 16 yrs since I had visited Galway and I only wish it were easier to return whenever I want but not sure when next time will be. But if I ever do come back, I would without a doubt love it if Edith's home still be there to rent and stay. Without a doubt, this is an amazing special place. Thank you so much Edith from the bottom of our hearts.
