Kathryn's place is a good choice if you want to stay near Galway, but not in Galway. The home is lovely, clean, well appointed. Lots of good places to eat nearby, within 15 minutes walk or less. We went to Oslo, great craft beer, good food and value. Salthill has a cool walkway along the water, perfect for runs, walks and people watching. Kathryn is very hospitable, friendly and helpful. We had a good stay, and recommend her place to you without reservation.
