Our Bean an tí was very friendly, generous and showed great hospitality. She did her utmost to keep us and her other guests happy and invests lots of time and money to make and keep the house a welcoming place with comfy places where we could spend the time while we stayed. She made recommendations for places and restaurants to visit which was very helpful. She made us feel at home, almost like being part of her family. We also enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the ocean view from one of the living rooms and the deck. It is only a short walk to the shore btw. We will be back!

Galway Greyhound Stadium is 4.4 km from the homestay, while Ballymagibbon Cairn is 41 km from the property. The nearest airport is Shannon Airport, 85 km from Salthill Stay.

Ideal distance for everything I needed to do. Easy to find and flexible arrival was much appreciated. I enjoyed two great nights sleep in the most comfortable bed. The extra touches like the toiletries were very welcome. By far the best part of our stay was the host Lorraine. The stay was not without its challenges before arrival and Lorraine was understanding, empathetic and offered various options and help. Add that to Lorraine’s friendly and kind nature and you have an exceptional host. Thank you Lorraine. If you are considering this accommodation do not delay - usually booked out. ***** 😀

Location was excellent and apartment was very clean with great views. Communication was very clear and both my wife and I had a wonderful stay. No issues whatsoever. We will definitely be telling friends about this place. Great value and probably underpriced in my view. Cheers Lads.

Ronnie, our host, was absolutely amazing. His local knowledge of the town and surrounding areas and his suggestions for day trips were invaluable. He really went above and beyond what we expected by packing us picnics for our day trips and even inviting us into his home for a cup of tea. The rooms have a lot of personal touches and can see a lot of effort was put into the decor. Overall, it was a very memorable stay in Galway and would definitely recommend it. Thank you Ronnie!

This guest house features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

The property was like renting out a single room airbnb. You had access to a kitchen and living area but basically on your own. It was quiet, and clean. The host were kind but we didn’t see too much of them as we were out and about a lot. Perfect location for visiting Galway, Canamara, and Aran Islands. Also the views of the ocean and the cute walk down to the shore was a nice benefit.
