My family (2 children, hubby, father-in-law, and brother-in law) stayed here one night in Sept. 2004. We arrived around 5:30 after the 4 hour drive from Dublin. Eileen was there to greet us and quickly showed us to our rooms. We had a family room (4 twin beds) and father and brother-in law had two twin beds. The rooms were very nice, with pine floors and fluffy beds, and the bathroom had a shower/bath. Unfortunately the pressure in the shower wasn't great but we had resolved that we wouldn't let something trivial like this ruin our stay. What did ruin our stay was the fact that the airline lost my luggage (I was travelling with 5 males, so for them to lose MY luggage I just could not comprehend). Eileen was more than glad to keep an ear out (as the airline said they would deliver my luggage that evening) and during our stay she was pleasant without being intrusive. We went out to enjoy Salt Hill and arrived back to find that the airline had not delivered my luggage, but our room beckoned and we all slept well (quiet location, and our room was in the rear). Our beds were comfy and the children actually slept in a bit late in the morning. A full Irish breakfast awaited us in the lovely little dining room of Eileen's house. Everything was delicious (breads, wonderful oatmeal, eggs, fresh juice and tea, of course, as well as an assortment of yogurts). After filling our bellies, we thanked our lovely hostess and were on our way to enjoying the west coast of Ireland.

My wife and I stayed at Knockrea for four nights beginning May 1, 2004. We very much enjoyed our stay. The place is clean and cheerful and reasonably well-located. It's biggest assest, however, is the owner, Eileen. She was so kind and helpful to us during our stay. She arranged day tours for us and provided flawless directions and advice. Knockrea is a warm and comfortable place to stay for your visit to Galway. We recommend it!

Although it was a 15 - 20 minute walk to the city, not 10 minute as the guidebooks say, it was a good location. There are 2 pubs across the street and down about a half city block. Breakfast was good - typical of Irish B&B's and rooms were bright and clean. Eileen, the owner was pleasant and helpful. I would stay there again. If you reant a car, there is free parking in her lot. If you stay in Galway City, you usually park at least a block from your hotel and have to pay a daily rate - consider that when booking a place.
