Title: A Hospitable Haven in Galway! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming B&B in Galway and I must say, it was an absolute delight from start to finish! From the moment we stepped foot through the door, we were greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality that instantly made us feel at home. Not to mention the yummy home baked cake :) The cleanliness of the establishment was impeccable. Every nook and cranny was spotless, and the attention to detail was evident throughout. It's clear that the hosts take great pride in maintaining a pristine environment for their guests. The rooms were cozy, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, providing a perfect haven to relax and unwind after a day of exploring Galway's enchanting streets and attractions. Now, let's talk about breakfast - the highlight of our mornings during our stay! The breakfast spread was nothing short of amazing. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon filled the air, and the selection of delectable treats was simply outstanding. Everything was freshly cooked by the host and it felt like home. Amy and Paul went above and beyond to cater to our dietary preferences, ensuring that we started our day with a delicious, hearty meal that left us energised and ready for the day ahead. However, what truly sets this B&B apart is the incredible couple who run it. The husband and wife team exuded warmth, kindness, and a genuine passion for ensuring their guests have an unforgettable experience. We had such lovely chats we Amy and Paul and learnt so much about their and the bnbs background. They were always on hand to offer helpful advice, recommend hidden gems, and share fascinating stories about Galway. It was an absolute pleasure to engage in conversations with them, and their genuine enthusiasm and passion. We cannot recommend this B&B highly enough. If you're looking for a hospitable haven in Galway, this is the place to...

We got a private room to sleep three people, and it was quite comfortable. Breakfast was also included in the cost, and although the selection was limited, it was still a nice bonus! There were a number of events you could take advantage of which were organised by the hostel including nightly pub crawls and movie nights!

The location is super- right on the beach front. walking distance from Galway city. The room had double aspect views overlooking the beach. With our package we had wine and chocolates each day and bottled water. A lovely touch. Loved breakfast too.
