Maureen and her husband John were outstanding hosts! I truly believe that our Galway trip wouldn't have been at all the same and amazing if we didn't stay with them. Their place has the perfect mix of countryside and city, as it only takes 10 minutes by car into the city center. The views from their house are spectacular and everything you would expect from the Irish countryside. They are located on top of a high hill, with picturesque views overlooking the city, lake and countryside. I dream of that view still!! They made us feel as if it was our home away from home and treated us like family. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Galway! We are already wanting to stay with them again next time!
