The hosts were amazing. We were able to check in a little early. The gentleman knows so much about the area and directed us to some things not on our list. The room is huge and only place we’ve stayed that had a bathtub. Our window had a castle outside of it with beautiful green pastures around.The little town had a great pub and pier. One of our favorite places we stayed on this trip

Connor (the owner) checked us in and he was delightful! Very friendly, showed us to our room and gave us info on the area. Our room was perfect and had tea & hot water kettle available. His wife made our amazing breakfast in the morning and we are still dreaming of the porridge. Would definitely recommend.

Connor & Margaret were fantastic! Both were warm & welcoming. Location was perfect to explore Galway, Cliffs of Mohr and surrounding areas (by car). The best part - their make to order full breakfast choices. Literally, you sit down and they are preparing while serving morning coffee/tea. Loved this place!
