Frank's B&B couldn't be better placed. He has a lovely home and makes a superb breakfast. Don't hesitate, go for it!

My wife and I stayed a couple of days in mid-March. Frank was an outstanding host, prepared an excellent breakfast, and runs a wonderful B&B.

The B&B is on college road, just a 10 minute walk to the town center. Parking was easy, and the home was quiet (we had a great night's sleep).

The room was spacious and very clean. Frank was extremely helpful with directions and recommendations for shopping and dining, and even offered to drive the few minutes to the shopping center and pick us up if we had too many bags to carry back to the B&B.

We used TA for our trip, and found TA's top picks to truly be the best. This one was a fine example of the value of this site.

If you stay, ask Frank to see the Papayas he grows out back! ;->

I can only echo the high praise that others have had for Petra House. The location, hospitality, value, food, etc. are all exceptional. Frank went well out of his way to ensure that we always had directions, approximate timelines and recommendations to make our stay pleasant and easy.

I have already recommended Petra House to several friends and business colleagues who are considering travel to Ireland and plan to return there again as soon as I can!

Our stay at Petra House was a great start to our honeymoon. We arrived even ealier than expected at the B&B and we were greated warmly by Frank, who then insisted on us having an Irish Breakfast. Oh, how delicioius. The dining room was gorgeous and the tables were set up to perfection.
We then went to our rooms to unpack and take a nap. Our room was so nice and clean and the bed was so comfortable!
We walked to downtown Galway - about 8-12 minute walk....not bad at all. From Petra, we rode to the Cliffs of Moher, which is a must see!!! We also drove thru the Burren.
I would highly recommend staying here! Frank and Joan are lovely people who made our stay very enjoyable!!
