Brian was an excellent host!! He was very hospitable and sweet as can be. The breakfast care package is a really nice touch too. He knows A LOT about the area, so if you want to see something interesting that's off the beaten path, just ask him!! He's more than happy to give you some ideas. The house itself was very nice and very clean. It had some beautiful views. I thought the house was pretty to find, Brian gave pretty clear directions on how to get there. The location was good too; it was super easy to get into Galway and it was pretty easy to get to the Connemara National park. Our stay was so wonderful and my husband and I loved the area so much that we're already talking about going back to Brian's cottage with some friends! Oh!! And Puff is seriously the cutest and sweetest dog in Ireland!!
