We stayed at this beautiful cottage near Galway, away from the major city. We enjoyed the beautiful view and quiet country side but close enough the Galway. We highly recommend Brian's cottage for a family or individual. Brian was very friendly and helpful to make sure we got to enjoy Ireland and he even managed to get me a tour of the local university which was wonderful. It makes a big difference when you have a host as nice as Brian. He cares about his guests and is very friendly. Brian was always concerned to make sure we enjoyed our time in Ireland. I would definitely revisit Brian next time I come back to Ireland. We love his friendly dog 'puff".
