The cottage is well situated to explore the surrounding countryside as well as Galway city (highly recommended!!! Do one of the walking tours!!!). Breakfast can be ordered as you like - cold, hot, cereal, bread, fruit. Nothing to complain here! However, there are some minor issues due to (my?) misunderstanding of the advertisement, explaining my 3-star-rating. Before you book, make sure and ask Caroline about which bedroom/bathroom setting you are getting - obviously there are combinations where you have to switch floors which is not too nice. Also, internet connection right now is available only in public areas - no chance to plan your next day relaxing in your private room. And there is a dog living in the house. which is not mentioned in the advertisement. But with an updated description and some technical upgrades these should be no major issues in the future! Nice family, nice area, nice house - just keep the things mentioned above in mind before booking!
