July 2007, the McMurry Family, Los Alamos USA ***** How lucky we feel to have chanced upon your lovely home on the internet and to have managed to book it for the week of the wedding of our nephew. It’s in such a beautiful location and we were lucky with the weather. That all in all made our stay really wonderful. 14. – 21. July 2007, Kathy Booth., London, UK ***** Tranquil, peaceful and above all the calming scenery: Enough to recharge the batteries and more. The weather was very wet while we were here, but your house and the magnificent view gave us rest and made up for it, ten times over. Will definitely be back hail, rain or snow, but hopefully sun shine. 30. June – 7. July 207, the Jonston Family, Downpatrick Ireland

Galway: Galway City is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Ireland. Visitors and students contribute a lot to the life of the City and are welcomed by the Galwegians for doing so. Galway and its surroundings are famous for many festivals from the Film festival (end June), 'Galway Arts Festival' (mid-July), 'Galway Races' (end July) culminating in the famous 'Galway and Clarinbridge Oster Festival' (in September).

Guest Book: Anam Samh has been a very tranquil and quiet place to spend our two weeks in Ireland. Our family has enjoyed the very well furnished home, lovely warm people, we have met along the way. We hope to come back some day to visit this beautiful place again and this lovely land. We had a wonderful time! 14. - 28. April 2007, the Gallagher & Harrison family, Tacoma, Washington State, USA ***** Anam Samh (Gaelic “tranquil soul”) has been a real find – thank you Marion and Michael for providing an idyllic setting for family break away from it all. We will definitively book this again and will tell others about it. The weather these past two weeks has been magnificent – blue skies and warm up to 23 °C one day!
