Pros:

Die Ruhe, die sehr schöne Lage von Hollybanks, die gute Busverbindung in beide Richtungen, sowohl Galway als auch Clifden.

Cons:

Es hat ein bisschen zuviel geregnet, aber dafür kann ja keiner etwas.

A lovely leaf quiet stay
Pros:

This is a lovely house in a quiet leafy location. My room had a gorgeous leafy outlook onto trees, and a huge window, which I loved. Jane was both helpful and hospitable while also being not at all intrusive and respecting my privacy.
The village has a good selection of casual restaurants and takeaway food options, and a brand new Lidl.

Cons:

Gotta say I would not have enjoyed that room during very hot weather because, although it has a huge window, only two tiny sections of it opened. But they are not screened and midges might come in on still warm days and evenings. Which means keeping the windows closed and no cool/fresh air - at least in the room I had.
This is a great place to stay if you have a car but it would be inconvenient without one.

feels like home，warm and cozy. An experience that will stay with me.
Pros:

The room and shared bathroom were both clean and tidy, with complete facilities. I booked a room included breakfast, and the room was stocked with bread, cereal, milk, and other items, all neatly arranged — it felt really cozy (btw, the oranges were delicious). The bed was extremely comfortable. Hostess is exceptionally thoughtful, even providing reflective vests and flashlight. A truly delightful experience.

Cons:

If you arrive after dark, be sure to bring a flashlight, as there are very few streetlights on the walk from the station to the house.

Ein neuer Lieblingsort in Irlands Westen
Pros:

Eine wirklich schöne Unterkunft in einem sympathischen Dorf ca. 10 Minuten außerhalb von Galway City. Schon bei der Ankunft bin ich von Jane herzlich begrüßt worden. Sie hatte viele Informationen über die Gegend und Ausflugstipps parat, auf die man von selbst vielleicht nicht gekommen wäre. Auch sonst stand Jane immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite.
Hollybanks liegt angenehm ruhig in einer kleinen Straße oberhalb von Moycullen. Es verbindet wunderbar die Vorteile eines B&B und einer Selbstversorgerunterkunft. Brot, Obst, Saft, Wasser, Milch und Joghurt werden gestellt und täglich nach Bedarf von Jane wieder aufgefüllt. Im Aufenthaltsraum steht ein Fernseher bereit.
Moycullen ist ein hervorragender Ausgangsort für Fahrten nach Connemara, aber auch nach Galway City oder weiter nach Süden in den Burren. Der Ort selbst hat mehrere Supermärkte und Pubs und bleibt dabei doch beschaulich.
Ich habe mich gleich sehr wohlgefühlt und komme auf meiner nächsten Reise bestimmt wieder!
