I had a great experience staying with Ruth. I was walking the Tóchar Phádraig and climbing Croagh Patrick, so I was pretty tired on this trip. Ruth very generously picked me up from the bottom of Croagh Patrick, so I didn't have to worry about getting into town after a full day of walking. I felt very cozy and comfortable - a great place to 'crash' after adventures in Mayo. Her house is located very close to The Quay, where there are several very good restaurants/bars/cafés AND great views of Croagh Patrick and Clew Bay. Her place is also located very close to the Greenway walking path - an easy, beautiful walk into town.
