For our quick one week trip of Ireland we stayed mostly at B & B's. This was the best one by a long shot. Berna makes the B&B what it is.

After flying to Ireland all night and then driving across the Island we arrived tired and hungry so she provided a wonderful afternoon "tea" that left us stuffed.

The other reviews of breakfast are right on. You couldn't purchase a finer breakfast.

At twice the price I would still gladly pay to stay with Berna. I would love to go back and stay at the B&B for a week.

My husband and I stayed with Berna Kelly last week - what a fantastic find! The B & B was truly the highlight of the trip. Devondell is located on a quite cul-de-sac about 10 minutes' walk from the heart of Galway. When we checked in, she couldn't have been more welcoming, offering us tea or coffee and "biscuits" and then providing us with maps and walking directions to downtown when we expressed an interest in going for a stroll. She also offered advice on pubs that did early music from 5:30-7:30, and had a selection of menus for restaurants so we could think about what we wanted to do as we set out. When we came back, she had lit a peat fire in the guest parlor and we enjoyed sitting on the couch for a while. Breakfast the next morning was fancier than anything I've ever seen. We both ordered fruit and nut waffles, and and another guest tried her specialty pancakes which looked equally amazing. Her sideboard was loaded with fresh baked scones, toast, fruit salad, yogurt, you name it. We enjoyed chatting with her and the other guests (C & A from TN - thanks for the advice on Bunratty/Ring of Kerry!) and were sorry we weren't staying longer, although I might have been five pounds heavier if we'd stayed another night. Overall a wonderful experience and a fabulous hostess.

Wonderful place to stay while visiting Salthill. Rooms were clean and comfortable and the food was excellent. The price was 45 euro for each person.

Although Devondell was a bit of a walk to the town center, it was well worth the walk. My husband and I felt like it was staying in a storybook cottage. Berna is such a warm, lovely hostess who made our best breakfast of the trip. Her attention to detail was clear throughout our stay, and I would definitely return to Devondell!
