Guests at the holiday home will be able to enjoy activities in and around Galway, like hiking. A baby safety gate is also available at Traditional Stone Cottage 300 years+, while guests can also relax in the garden.

My favorite accommodation during our trip to Ireland. Mike was the perfect host, exuding hospitality, humor, history and local knowledge. Loved sitting by the cozy peat fireplace at night. Full kitchen and laundry facilities. Sauna is a nice bonus, but didn’t get a chance to use it.

This was a mid trip stop and was family time the property was better than home from home. My son works in Ireland and it was lovely to relax together. We were warmly welcomed and introduced to the property and we knew we had any assistance required should we need it. However we had complete privacy and felt very comfortable here. We did much needed washing and had all and more we could have wanted. It was great having two TV screens as we could watch together but in different areas good if you are liable to fall asleep while watching TV. The welcome hamper was a lovely idea and meant even if we hadnt had time to shop we had something for a snack and breakfast. We'll be back to visit as there's lots to do in the area we visited Cliffs of Moher (la hinch beach is near there but we didnt make it) Galways a short ride away and we headed up to Kylemore Abbey and Connemara national park. I later found out about the Claregalway castle and wish we'd had time to visit.

    Brilliant family hotel. The staff were amazing and the location was a short taxi or bus journey into the town centre. The kids loved the pool and the food. The hotel was spotless and there was a kids club available.
