Guest comments
Butler, Pennsylvania, USA
For our 37th anniversary and my son's and daughter in law we decided to visit Ireland which would be the ultimate celebration. The cottage was perfect-clean, modern, roomy enough for 4 adults, comfortable beds, and a well equipped kitchen. The location was ideal, between the cliffs of Moher and Galway city, with great little towns, shops, and pubs and restaurants in between. We were also able to catch a bus at local shop that took us to Galway City.
