Couldn't have hoped for a better place to stay on our trip to the West. The house is even better than the pictures suggest, spacious yet cosy, with everything that could be needed provided and great views. The location gives a great insight into Ireland's history, from the dry stone walls running to the beach (where swimming is compulsory), to the pre famine thatched cottage. Alan and Mary were absolutely fantastic hosts providing home made treats on arrival and for the road home, as well as supplying great local knowledge on entertainment, food and the best routes to explore Connemara, meaning we got exactly the experience we were hoping for. This is one of Galway's hidden gems!!
