I had a lovely stay with Kathryn for four nights. The room was very neat and clean and the bed extremely comfy. Kathryn was at work when I checked in , but she contacted me early to give me check in instructions and directions. When I was fortunate to meet Kathryn she was very friendly, welcoming and helpful and gave me tips re the Arts festival which happened to be on.
The location was good , especially if you like the beach. The bus stop for Galway is also very close. In the height of the season, return buses can be slow or late due to traffic at peak times , which is worth bearing in mind. On the positive side , I did find that the bus travel was a good way of meeting locals, many of whom were up for a chat.
