Ok-
Stayed here for a wedding at a nearby hotel.

I really hate doing this because the hosts are absolutely lovely and we really enjoyed everything else about this B and B. BUT- I woke up with 22 bed bug bites. This is my second attack in the last 6 months and I believe that the hospitality industry worldwide needs to understand that it is THEIR responsibility to keep their premises bed bug free.

It is simply not acceptable to have bed bugs, as they are easily detected by a bed and mattress inspection. As a two time victim- I am making a concerted effort to name and shame hotels and other lodging that have bed bugs. It is a sore dose- three weeks or so of pain and not worth it.

If they address this problem- I would be more than happy to give the review that the Abbeylee deserves as it is a lovely B and B...until then though....

Lovely hosts, great breakfast. Room was small - 2 beds with a small table in between. Room was also dated - nothing like the trendy furnishings shown on the website. Had fabulous pizza in Salthill as recommended by hosts.

While the accomodations here are clean and comfortable, the B&B is a bit further out than we realized at first glance. It is not within clear walking distance of anything but Salthill, which is somewhat touristy. If you don't mind taking a cab in and out of the city, it's a fine location.

It is an excellent location for taking a day trip out of the city up to Connemara which was why we booked it.

The owner is friendly and helpful. The breakfast was tasty, but nothing exceptional. The coffee, however, was quite delicious. We enjoyed our stay there. The only thing to be wary of is that it is quite a distance from Galway City itself. If we had been there for more than two nights or wanted to see more of the city itself, it would have been a bit far. If you're going for an ocean holiday, it's proximity to Salthill is definitely a plus!

As an aside, I was unaware of the ater problems in Galway city that have been going on for quite some time. The water from the taps is not potable. If this worries you, stay elsewhere to visit the Galway area.

After traveling the perimeter of Ireland, we decided that AbbeyLee was our favorite B&B. Our host was gracious and caring during our stay, and he offered excellent suggestions for music, food, and events. The room was spacious, and the bathroom was one of the larger, more modern bathrooms we saw in Ireland. The breakfast was delicious, and our host offered alternative breakfast options (smoked salmon) from the traditional Irish breakfast, which we appreciated. The B&B is close to Salthill and City Center.
