Devondell is situated in a seaside suburb of Galway called Salthill at the end of a cul-de-sac. However it is within easy walking distance of the Salthill township which has some good restaurants. There is off street parking too. Berna provided a warm welcome with tea and cake upon our arrival and made us feel at home. We also had a choice of rooms. The breakfasts were the best that we had had on our trip around Ireland and Berna is a superb cook. There is a choice each day on the menu and an extensive cereal and fruit selection too. Berna is very knowledgeable about the local sights and recommended a trip to the Aran Islands which we enjoyed. The room was good with an ensuite and free wi-fi access.

Stayed 2 nights in June.
Superb hospitality.
Location not too grand, on cul de sac.
The finest breakfast we have ever had, the fruit table and scones were out of this world.
Rooms clean and tidy, smallish bathroom.
Would return.

This B&B is amazing! Berna was so lovely and made me feel very welcome, the rooms were beautifully presented and spotless.
I woke up the next morning to the smell of cinnamon. Berna warned me the breakfast was "simple" but instead it turned out to the best breakfast I've ever had (sorry mum). There is something for everyone, and lots of it. All freshly prepared by Berna.
There were two couples visiting at the same time as me who had stayed at Devondell on numerous occasions, which speaks for itself I think.
Berna is happy to recommend things to do and can help you to organise tours if you would like. I went to Connemara and she called to make the booking and asked them to pick me up at the end of the street which was helpful for an early start. It allowed me more time for that delicious breakfast!
The B&B is not in the centre of Galway but just outside which only takes 10mins to walk otherwise there is a bus stop nearby. It's a really nice walk too.
If I am in Galway again, there is only one place I would stay! And at 50 euro a night for a single it is the perfect weekend getaway.

We enjoyed two nights here. We stayed in a different room each night. The first had a queen bed and large bathroom with a deep wonderful tub. The second had twin beds with a small bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the rooms very clean. The breakfasts were exceptional - homemade raspberry muffins that were fabulous. Our host had a unique breakfast menu that was so enjoyable. There was an extensive fruit selection each morning - loved that! Our host saw to our every need - she was wonderful. There is off the street parking. Galway city was a short walk for us. Galway was an interesting city to visit. We were able to get laundry done down in Salthill - several blocks from the B&B. We dropped the bags off in the morning and picked our laundry up that afternoon. The charge is 10 euro per bag.

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.
