St. Martins is an absolute pleasure to stay in. The rooms were spotlessly clean and had just a wonderful smell - not sure how she does it. Ours was a little on the tiny side but perfectly ok. Mary, the hostess, is wonderful - breakfasts are a joy as she is very helpful in telling you where to go and how to get there, etc and introducing everyone to each other at breakfast. It has a great location a few steps away from all of the pubs and nightlife, yet just far enough away not to be too noisy. If you're coming to Ireland to see "authentic Ireland", this is what you're looking for.

We were traveling with our daughter and son-in-law. Mary greeted us warmly and offered a most welcome and hearty tea. The garden view from the dining room was lovely. The rooms were nice and not noisy even though the B & B is very central. A wonderful Irish breakfast was served in the morning. We all wished we had scheduled additional time to stay at least another day at St. Martin's. Mary's brown bread was the best we had in Ireland.

Mary was one of the most gracious and welcoming hosts I've ever had.My friends and I stayed with her for 3 days and she treated us like her sons. She shared some of the best sights and pubs in the area and our time in Galway was unforgettable because of her. Make sure you bring Tubs a biscuit!

My friend and I came to St. Martins for a quick weekend away from Dublin. We loved it so much that upon leaving, we looked at each other and walked back to see if there was availability for the next weekend. Mary is such a gracious host, going above and beyond. She welcomes you every day with fresh tea, homemade brown bread and snacks. She tucks you in at night with hot water bottles, and you wake to an amazing breakfast of fresh orange juice, the best coffee in Ireland and of course, more homemade brown bread. Her dog Tubs is also amazing and well worth a visit.
