I had the pleasure of staying at Villanova B&B for an entire month during my studies at NUI Galway…read more The rooms are lovely; cozy, fully furnished and with every amenity that could possibly make your stay more convenient. The hostess is incredible, she is one of those people who was born to be in hospitality, and she exudes care and genuine affection for her guests. There is WiFi in the house. The breakfast is fantastic, a beautifully set table awaits you every morning with a full spread of fresh fruit, orange juice, tea, coffee, assorted cereals, soda bread, jam, toast, and whatever combination of 'the full Irish breakfast' you could possibly desire. I cannot recommend Villanova enough - I will be returning as soon as I am able.

When i arrived I was greeted by the owner of the BnB, Joan, who I have to say made my stay that much better. I couldn't help thinking that she has an uncanny resemblance to Meryl Streep, maybe it is Meryl incognito?? Joan told me all the best places to visit, the best times to go, the best ways to get there. She was very knowledgeable about the local area, it helped massively. The room was lovely, a good size, lovely and clean. The shower is amazingly powerful! On arrival you are asked to select what you would like for breakfast, the choice is great. From Full cooked, to poached eggs on toast, to smoked salmon and eggs which is delicious! Breakfast is served 7.45am - 9.30am, check out is 11am. Overall, I loved staying at the Periwinkle, it made my stay in Galway that bit more enjoyable, if that's possible! I thoroughly recommend it!

Fantastic B & B with beautiful views of the bay in Spiddal. The hosts are extremely helpful and the…read morebreakfasts are really tasty. The building contains the original Irish stone walls which can cause issues with the wireless internet signal but it's a small price to pay for the ambiance. Highly recommended.

Families have other priorities than couples or singles, please keep that in mind while reading. Edwina and Maurice are just amazing hosts and the premises are clean, cosy and inviting. Our room was really practical and we were to able to store our stuff easily. The full Irish breakfast and the coffee from the french press are delicious. You have lots of options for (ripe!) fruit, cornflakes, yoghurt and more. Breakfast variants are always possible! Just ask. I even had some black pudding after I asked for it. The surrounding area and the small town of Oughterard is just great. You can walk to a great pub in 2 minutes and have a dinner with traditional food and music there. Fancy a Pizza? 2 minutes walk, next door! We needed a laundry service sometimes and that was just on the other side of the street as well. Shopping is easy in Oughterard - you can get food and souvenirs just along the main street. A few minutes away is also a playground for small and big children =) A lot of other places are within a short distance to drive and the Connemara region has so much to offer for kids and adults. If you're into hiking the "Western Way" start just around the corner (hence the name of the B&B). A wonderful beach - I compared it to the Bahamas - is just a 40 minute drive away ("Dogs Bay", Roundstone). Our hosts always had great tips for us which places were worth a visit and where to stop for dinner. After a long day we were able to relax in the TV lounge which was cosy and full of books. We will definitely stay there again to see more of the Connemara region!

The Auburn House is a special place, Mary (the owner) being a very very friendly person which makes…read moreyou feel like you are at home. The house is quite new and the rooms are very comfortable. They also have internet access which is great to check the weather forecast and send/read your emails. I've got one little negative comment, since the house is close to a main boulevard it is somewhat noisy (cars) but if you close the window you will sleep well. I have to say the breakfast is excellent, I loved every bite of the homecooked food. I would go here to stay again.
