Bridget's farmhouse provided me with just the period of solitude and quiet I was seeking. I stayed there five weeks. The house is comfortable and on a road that runs through green, hilly countryside, perfect for the long walks I wanted to take. Bridget's friend met me at a spot on the main road to lead me to the house and then showed me around and even had me follow her into Tuam to show me where the supermarket was. She's a neighbor and was kind and helpful throughout my stay. And Bridget responded quickly whenever I had questions. I enjoyed making a turf fire every day and then working at the table in the front room with a lovely view out to the front garden and the fields across the road. The kitchen was well equipped and convenient. I'd definitely stay here again if I get back to this area. The house was a little further from Galway city than I'd imagined, but it was an easy 40-minute drive to the center.
