We stayed at Ardawn House for three nights and were very pleased with the location and our room. Walking into Galway City is all downhill, but coming back is a hike, but quite doable with a little rest half-way up the hill. Mike and Breda were gracious hosts, with Mike telling my husband where to see a Hooker - an Irish sailing ship! The location is also convenient to the main roads leading in to and out of Galway City. Our room faced the street, but the traffic noise was minimal.
