We had nothing but great hosts and great B&Bs in Ireland, but Frank is in a class all his own. We spent 3 nights at Petra, and actually spent our anniversary there. Frank took great care of us, going the extra mile on several occasions. I can not rate this B&B highly enough. It was a fantastic way to finish... more

We stayed 3 days with Joan and Frank and had a Great time! The room we had was very elegant. We felt like royalty. Joan cooked us a delicious breakfast (there was even a menu to choose from) and Frank served us with a wonderful wit and humor. We had such an enjoyable time with the two of them. They... more

What a fantastic B&B! We had excellent stay here. Frank and Joan are such wonderful people. They helped us with everything we needed and were extremely accommodating. (On one of our first days there, as we were about to walk out into the rain, they offered us umbrellas)! The breakfast was top notch: Frank comes into the breakfast room in... more

We did an 8 day very fast trip of Ireland and stopped off in Galway for one night. Of the 8 B&B's we stayed in this one was definately the best! There were 3 of us travelling and had originally booked 1 single and 1 double. There was an extra room free and Frank said we were welcome to take... more

From the minute we arrived, we felt welcomed and pampered. Frank and Joan went out of their way to accommodate our early arrival and enabled us to refresh ourselves after an overnight flight before we began our first day in Ireland. The breakfast was amazing. I ordered smoked salmon and the serving was large enough to feed a family of... more

My parents, husband and I stayed at Petra house (unfortunately, it was only for one night, wish it was more) and we absolutely LOVED it! The location was great. Not too far from the main town centre and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. But we were bowled over by the breakfast menu! What a SELECTION! The most variety... more

We stayed at Petra House for two nights after reading all the great reviews on Tripadvisor. It couldn't have been any better. We arrived early in the morning and Frank offered us breakfast. It was a wonderful way to be greeted! Our room was very ckean and the bed comfortable. It was very quiet at night being on the outskirts... more

We booked Petra House w/out doing any research, other than seeing it in Rick Steve's book, and were quite pleased. It was elegantly furnished and very clean, and the hosts were extremely gracious and welcoming. The bathroom was the nicest we saw - felt almost new, and the sink actually had only one faucet, rather than one for hot and... more

All the other reviews are correct. This place rocks! It is a short 10 minute walk to Eyre Square and Quay Street. The place is immaculate and the breakfasts are devine. Frank is very helpful and when we mentioned we were taking a Galway Tour Co. tour the next morning he took it upon himself to call up the company... more
