We could not have asked for a more perfect house in such beautiful, peaceful countryside. The kitchen/dining area is spacious and full of light, with everything we needed. We grilled delicious local lamb on the gas grill outside almost every night. Catherine stocked the kitchen with lovely local products for our first breakfast and basics for cooking. The bed and bedding are extremely comfortable and the showers wonderfully hot. The old part of the cottage is very cozy and would be really nice with the wood stove--we had such good weather we never used it. The bedroom up the narrow stairs is cozy and cute as well, great for kids--the stairs are narrow but well-built. The other three bedrooms are on the ground level.
The location is really good for exploring Connemara, Galway, and County Clare (the Burren, Cliffs of Moher) as day trips. A very nice supermarket is just a few miles up the road in Headford (avoiding Galway traffic) and also big shopping centers in the other direction in Galway, just 15-20 minutes away.
We would definitely stay here again!
