This was a lovely cottage to stay in while we made a day trip to Athlone and Galway. Aoife was a perfect host - so easy to contact - responds right away with a warm and welcoming tone! She even provides detailed directions to the cottage and great recommendations for food in the town. The kitchen was stocked with fresh bread, jams, little bags of chips, coffee, tea, milk, eggs, and cheese! And such a pretty kitchen - my husband and I loved the decor. Thank you for everything, Aoife!

What a lovely place! And so close to hiking, walking, history and other amenities. When you come to Ireland stay in one spot for at least 3-4 days to really discover the wonders of the place. Stay in this cottage for sure. A big shout out to Aoife for such a wonderfully appointed home. And for great communication.

Great place to be based for touring around Galway, Connemara, and Mayo. Just took our time to discover all the small places and talk to people.

Sweet little cottage in Kinvara

We had a nice three night stay in this cottage and Aoife has been a very good host. Communication with her before and during our stay could not have been any better and she obviously put a lot of love into the decoration of the cottage. It‘s exactly as shown on the pictures.Overall a very pleasant experience - many thanks!
