The cottage was the perfect size for my daughter and I. The location was great for day trips and having a really comfortable and well appointed place to come back to in the evening. I will definitely stay here again if back in the area.

Great location!

This home was very welcoming and provided a wonderful home base to explore Galway and Connemara! Cathy was a wonderful host and provided all that we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend a visit to the town of Cong - it's a lovely area by Cong river.

We stayed at this beautiful Irish cottage outside of Galway for two nights and it was the perfect base for exploring the beautiful countryside. The directions were easy to follow and there is plenty of space for parking. We arrived on a blustery chilly day and the owners were kind enough to have a fire roaring in the stove when we got there! The cottage itself is incredibly clean and bright and comfortable. The showers were a delight after a few days on the road! The owners have thought of every detail to ensure a wonderful stay. Communication was easy and quick and the owners gave great recommendations for driving into Galway. Thank you for a memorable visit! We hope to be back!
