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!

This cottage is everything that the listing promises! We had a lovely 3 night stay in September. It is a great location for car day trips to the Cliffs and to Connemara. Cathy was so helpful with travel tips and suggestions. The cottage itself is beautifully appointed, well equipped, very clean and so charming!! We were happy to return to this lovely spot each evening. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience, Cathy!

A comfortable and cosy cottage that has been kitted out in a modern style. All the facilities were as we needed, though it was so warm we didn’t try out the wood/peat burner.It’s a great location to explore Galway.Cathy was very welcoming, her pre visit instructions were spot on, and she popped round when we arrived to make sure all was well, that personal touch along with a few supplies was just enough.

Giles Cottage

The Giles Cottage in Claregalway is wonderful. Everything was perfect. We stayed a month and did not have one problem. The location is great and having a rental car the whole time made the day trips easy. Cathy and Martin are so nice and helpful. The town of Claregalway has everything you need. And the City of Galway is lovely. Highly recommend!
