Ultimate host
Perfect in almost every aspect. Maureen was the ultimate host. Transport to town is required. Highly recommend the local Porter House for food and Renville park for walks.

Galway visit
Our hostess Maureen was just lovely. It was at the top of our list of places we stayed in Ireland. Home is clean and inviting. Beds are amazing and you can heat them too. We stayed for 2 nights and very comfortable and cozy. Maureen in also a good cook, we enjoyed our breakfast very much. This is a great place to stay and the next time I am in Ireland I will book here

Lovely B&B close to Galway city.
Maureen was a lovely host who greeted us with a handshake on our arrival and departure. Conveniently located just outside of Galway City without all the hustle and bustle of the city. The full Irish breakfast was delicious and a good start to the day. Would stay again in a minute. Best regards.

The property was lovely. The owner was friendly, helpful and very welcoming. Irish Breakfast sensational. Rooms a very small and one of our bathrooms a real struggle to use (couldn't!). Go for the larger downstairs rooms. Close to Galway. Morning traffic horrendous!!!

Like most Irish properties, there is no street number, a bit hard to find. Someone suggested input post code in GPS, may work better. This place was on the Wild Atlantic Way - the other side of Moneymore Road ! Most friendly hostess who served up a substantial breakfast. Book a bigger ground floor room is you are staying more than 1 night !

We had the best stay! Maureen makes you immediately feel like family. This place exudes warmth and love. The owner even customizes your breakfast preference (which is delicious!)

Cheapest place in the Galway area. It's basic but not tastefully basic. Mattresses and sheets seems like they got it from a flea market. Every door squeaks when used. The breakfast is ok and the hostess serves it professionally. The private bathroom was outside the room which defeated the purpose for privacy.

It was like staying in a friend's home. We were invited to use the lounge. As it was a bungalow our room was on the ground floor. The lady owner welcomed us when we arrived. The food was excellent. She made sure she had the goat my husband required. She had even bought him some goat cheese. Excellent service.
