If you want peace and quiet, then this is the place for you. It was perfect for us because we wanted to see a lot of places that were within an hour and a half of their cottage. When we returned each day it was a pleasure to be in their quaint comfy Irish cottage (with TV to keep you up to date with what was going on in the world) while we were away immersing ourselves in the western part of Ireland. Close to Galway, Croagh Patrick, Aran Islands, Cliffs of Mohr.
