Really charming place with lots to explore in the local area. This was my favourite sort of Airbnb - lived-in and obviously loved, and with a good assortment of basics to equip you for a few days. The cabin was a bit chilly when we arrived home in the evenings (so bring a jumper and some good socks) but quickly warmed up once we got the logburner going.
You'll struggle without a car anywhere except cities in Ireland and here is no exception. That said there's some lovely walking to be had in the local area - we had a lovely evening stroll around the fields/lanes after being out all day exploring the lakes, Ballinasloe and Athlone.
Paddy was a great host and accommodated our late arrival with no problems and left us some lovely apples for our arrival. Thanks Paddy!
