It was pouring with rain and dark when we turned up. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly, and the rooms pleasant and clean. Great location and excellent value for money, however the walls were quite thin and could hear what was happening in the next rooms. Breakfast was great - although a little slow, and felt sorry for the... More

We stayed at Amber Bay for 2 nights, and found it to be an excellent place to stay. Very good value for money in particular. The rooms were clean, comfortable and with good facilities, and our favourite moments from our stay were the excellent breakfasts served each morning. The new owner Michael and his family are clearly working really hard... More

Couldn't talk more highly of our family stay at Amber Bay. The owner was extremely helpful and very welcoming. There is a lounge for all to share, with the most amazing massage chair. Breakfast was really good, nice big Irish breaky with fruit and hams and cheeses, not so mention the coffee machine! One of our favourite stays in Ireland. More

I stayed here for five nights while in Galway and enjoyed my stay. The owner was extremely welcoming and helpful. The room was a good size, comfy bed and shower facilities were fine. The english breakfast each morning was cooked to perfection. Wireless internet was available and worked well. I would stay here again! More

My partner and I loved this place. Michael was so welcoming and never intrusive but there if needed. The room we had (4) was very spacious immaculate and welcoming. I would not hesitate to recommend this B&B to anyone. It has great views over the bay and is ideally located for the west coast tourist spots. Great breakfasts and cooked... More
