Kate's cottage is delightful and she is a warm and caring host. The place was clean and inviting with beautiful, hand-made furniture. Kate was incredibly generous with her time and advice, even cooking dinner for us on our first night and arranging tickets for us for an incredible Irish music and dance show in Galway (don't miss this if you travel here). We followed her recommendations for day trips and had a superb time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kate and her cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful experience in the countryside, with really easy access to Galway and the rest of this beautiful area.
