Located 3 km from Moycullen village and 72 km from Connemara National Park, Luxury Apartment, bed and breakfast offers self-catering accommodation. The property is 15 km from Galway, which is on the Wild Atlantic Way.

Breakfast was good, the location to go into Galway city was not so good, there were only a few busses a day a few kilometers from the house, for walking etc the location was good if you had a car

A 5-minute drive from Galway city centre, Ardawn House offers high-quality en suite rooms and an extensive breakfast menu. There is free on-site parking and Wi-Fi at this elegant guest house on Ireland’s western coast.

Excellent location- easy walking distance of Eyre Square but not close enough to be kept awake at night. The staff were beyond friendly and helpful. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. Will look to stay here again the next time I’m in Galway.

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 house was a little gem and perfect for our family trip to Galway with a 9 month old baby. The house is spacious and our little one enjoyed crawling and playing in the living room when we were home. Helen also provided us with a cot and a high chair and suggested places to visit with the baby too, which was great. The house is also not far away from Galway and it is very convenient for a trip around the area.

    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.

    Overall very nice hotel, we had a double room on the ground floor. Bed was big. Plenty of space for our baby who came with us. Leisure club was brilliant. Lots of different areas in the pool to go and relax. Very kid friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel for a family break away. Got breakfast in the hotel and it was lovely! I will return to this hotel.
