The room was well updated and cozy. Each morning we had full complimentary breakfast across the street at the Barracks restaurant that was included with our room. Scott runs a very hospitable business and his passion for customer service shows through his staff. Michael was awesome, not only was he the one received us at 7pm, checked us in and showed us our room, he was also working each morning in the restaurant and helped us plan our daily journeys around the Galway area. Everyone we met were very attentive , kind and helpful. Next door to the Lodge, The Stone House Pizza had awesome food as well and is the one place we found that serves a true cocktail. I highly recommend staying at the Lodge at The Old Barracks to anyone who likes a local vibe and hospitality. After our fantastic experience I would never consider staying anywhere else when visiting the Galway area.

We were driving through Doolin and decided to follow signs to the Doolin Crafts Gallery, hoping to…read morepick up a few gifts for folks back home. We found Brian Hackett hard at work in his jewelry studio, which I think has taken over the Crafts Gallery space. In any case, we were impressed by Brian's work but were not in the market for jewelry, so we moved along. In the other wing of the building, we were astounded to find the most AMAZING little bakery - to think we almost drove right by this place and didn't even know it existed. Fabiola, Brian's partner, has brought a little piece of France to this quiet corner of Ireland! Her delicate pastries and exquisite desserts reflect professional training and an artistic eye. They taste every bit as good as they look, too... I am still dreaming about the raspberry tart. Oh, la la. Fabiola herself is a welcoming host and will make you feel right at home as you enjoy her sun-bathed cafe, which overlooks the patio garden and fields beyond. A magical place, with cheerful touches of color and character in every inch of the decor...the perfect spot to sit and stay a while as you savor a mouth-watering pastry or scone and linger over a cup of dark, true coffee. Not to be missed if you are passing through Doolin. If the signs for the Doolin Crafts Gallery lead you astray, here is my best attempt at directions: take R479 northeast out of Doolin. About 1.0km out of town, you will see a large white church on a right-hand corner. Take a right on the lane just before it (L1036, I believe). The cafe and jewelry gallery will just a few hundred meters up on your right.

Real locals were coming in and out of Unglert's, taking with them some tasty homemade pastries. We got some too! There's a nice selection of goods under 1 euro, some under 2 euro. Good stuff! Unglert, a friendly fellow, saw us taking a photo of his shop outside, so he decided to get into the photo with me, and even gave me a free postcard so that we would remember his charming, tasty bakery. As for the pants Unglert was wearing that day? Spectacular! :)

The Molloys team were so kind, generous, and supportive of my situation and went well beyond my expectations to provide a beautiful and delicious catering arrangement for a family I care deeply about despite my great distance.

The sweets were a treat to both young and old. If you have the chance to visit them, do it often and tell them thanks from me.

Suitably smothered in chocolate on the limbs, with loads of sweets to decorate. They're perfectly chewy without being moist, and they're really flavourful with ginger. The staff are always so sweet in here-- once I had picked up two but only had a twenty to pay, and rather than run to break the note, she allowed me to take the two for the price of one. When I came back in the next time and paid for my free biscuit, they were just so grateful! It was really lovely.

From outside the place looks the part, from the inside it is a little pokey and doesn't feel right, a bit dark I think. The selection of cakes and baked goods was big and we chose a black forest gateaux and a couple of ginger bread men. Sadly the Gateaux was not overly nice and the gingerbread men were stale, overall, a bit disappointing.

For anyone with food allergies/intolerances, this is a great place to check out. My worst nightmare would be if they closed! The people are really nice and it's really handy I can ring ahead and order what I want so I don't have to rush in in the morning to get what's left on the shelf. It also means what I get has been baked fresh for me :) I can't praise this place enough! It's quite a small place but it's cute and nicely laid out in my opinion.

Americans on vacation, we were heading to our car from inside the center and stopped at a tiny gourmet patisserie and candies shop. We purchased a cake--it was Sunday and the cake was half off so why not. It was THE MOST DELICIOUS CAKE I HAVE EVER HAD. I am a candy maker myself and this is a very unique review because I know what I'm talking about. If you live in Limerick or are there for any reason, you may find yourself parking at Arthur's Quay (the largest and most centrally located public garage). Be sure to stop by Gourmandises Time. You will not be disappointed. Lovely owners too. (Summer 2017)
