He even packed a scone, butter, and water, and had it waiting by our door in the morning before we left on our adventure.

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.

    Of the B & Bs and guesthouses we enjoyed in Ireland, Adare House was the best. Location was perfect--beside a park, in a safe neighborhood, in walking distance to the Spanish Arch and other attractions. Breakfast was phenomenal, so many choices, perfectly prepared, and served in an elegant dining room. The room was beautifully decorated, spotless, light, and airy. Ciara, our hostess, was congenial, relaxed, and attentive to our needs. Felt like we were staying in a luxurious private home.
