We stayed two nights in this well appointed Irish house. Everything was comfortable, the breakfasts were good, and the hosts were helpful. They even have a menu to order from. It was more like a small hotel. Galway is an easy walk. Even closer is Salt Hill with its beach, pubs, and restaurants.

when we arrived at this b&b, an older woman answered the door. she did not even say hello, she held it open for us to enter and then she walked into another room returning about a minute later to give us the key to the room. she made us all feel extrememely uncomfortable and unwelcome. the room was exceptable, clean without any frills, no coffee/tea or any form of refreshment and the soap was a palmolive pump that was almost empty. at breakfast the next day, there was a young foreign woman who didnt know the answer to any of our questions and when she asked someone else they replied for us to go to the tourist board, we were looking for a laundramat and horseback riding. we were leaving early the next day and asked for an earlier breakfast and they said "no", not even an offer of coffee. the breakfast was supposed to be "gourmet" and it was anything close to that. we were not told we could have juice, cereal, yogurt and all the other buffet items. so in a nutshell, location is good, lodging exceptable and rude, rude rude. it was our biggest disappointment in our 13 night trip to ireland and the uk.

We had a wonderful two night stay at St. Judes B&B. The location was an easy 10 minute walk to the center of Galway and was literally a 3 minute bus ride. The B&B was very clean and neat. Our room overlooked the garden, which was very peaceful. It was also very nice to have different choices for breakfast; we had the poached eggs and potato bread one morning and French toast the next. Our hosts were friendly, polite and very helpful with directions.

I would without a doubt stay here again and would recommend this B&B to a friend.

This was our favorite B and B on our recent trip to Ireland. The house is beautiful and Ita and Sinead are gracious, hospitable and gentle hostesses. We felt welcomed into their home. Our bed was comfortable. The breakfast was extraordinary and in a very pleasant and well-appointed setting. The home is very close to the Salthill area and an easy bus ride to downtown Galway with the bus stop directly outside the B and B. We were sorry we had only one night at St. Jude's and would stay here again without hesitation.
