Perfect walk towards everything. Pat and Jim were so hospitable and quick to set me on a tour or wherever I wanted to go. Highly recommend... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed here and it was perfect location to Salthill with just a short walk away. The owners were so helpful and friendly that I would go back again even for that reason. I'd definitely recommend this B&B to everyone thinking on staying in Galway More

This is a very reasonable priced, clean B and B. Rooms are on the small side, but if your staying in your room alot while at Galway, something wrong with you.

This cosy B&B is only a few minutes walk from the exciting Quay Street, and I love the fact that, after hours of listening to wonderful Irish music in the local pubs, I... More
