Hosts, Mr. & Ms. Fitzpatrick are very cordial and their cuisine is very good, served in a well decorated dining room. Coffee and tea are always available in the room. Regretfully I cannot say the same as... More

I stayed there for over 7 weeks, because I was studying in Galway. I felt at home almost immediately with the relaxed atmosphere, and the hosts were most friendly and helpful. If I ever needed anything or wondered about something, they were always ready to help and give information. When me and my fellow study-mates wanted to take tours, the... More

I really enjoyed my stay at this B&B and I would recommend it to everyone. The host's are friendly and really helpful if you have any questions or need something, they are ready to help! You have quick access to everywhere in Galway. To walk into the city just takes about couple of minutes. Rooms are enjoyable.

I'm from America and was in Galway for holiday. This b&b lived up to the high expectations I had from movies. The couple running it were very hospitable and knew where everything was in town or could answer any question that you could through at them. The room was all one would need for vacation and was very clean! The... More
