Kate is an absolutely lovely and personable host. She gave fantastic directions which made the Chalet easy to find. The location is out in the beautiful countryside—Making you feel like you’ve gotten away. But it is very close to many local attractions. Galway is but a half hour drive, Kinvara with Dungaire castle is just 10 minutes down the road, and the Cliffs of Moher were just over an hour, just to name a few.
Kate had wonderful recommendations of what to do while we were in the area, and was very knowledgeable of local events going on, as well as places to see.
The Chalet is beautiful, the pictures don’t begin to do it justice. We felt very at home. It was very clean and tidy, and had a fully stocked kitchen so that we could make our own meals with what we brought from local grocery. She also provided tea and coffee and had an assortment of spices which were quite helpful when we cooked.
The bed has a firmer mattress, but it was QUITE comfortable, and we both slept wonderfully the two nights we were there. The Chalet is on the other side of the main house, with a living room in between both of the living spaces. We very much felt like we had our privacy, and never heard anyone on the other side.
The history of the place is amazing as well—It has been in the family for seven generations!
We will come back in a heartbeat whenever we visit this area again!
