Pros- hosts are wonderful--highlight of B &B ! Catherine booked our tickets to Aran islands (a must see!) Cons-we like to walk everywhere and this was really, really far from the town (60 min). Rooms were clean, but small and not modern. Food was okay. more

Immaculate rooms and lovely decor. Plenty of nice fresh fruit at breakfast to go along with the Irish breakfasts. Catherine was very helpful in letting us know how to navigate downtown Galway and book a tour of the Connemara National Park. Her warmth and concern for our well-being was much appreciated.
