    We had a great stay here. It was the perfect distance from the city centre. Really clean and a great size, the kitchen facilities were a big bonus as we were heading off early the following day to Aran Islands so we could easily make our own...

    Lovely cabin with all of the amenities of home. So good to be able to cook for ourselves and wash and dry our clothes after a few weeks on the road.

A home away from home. Whether you are looking for a romantic break with that very special someone, a quiet working place, a relaxing holiday or a base to explore Galway and the Wild Atlantic Way with family and friends this ultra cosy sylish Guesthouse is a great find. Situated within 5 kms of Galway City and overlooking beautifully matured gardens, this spacious two bedroom guest home offers a safe haven for families and friends who want to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the countryside and yet remain within touching distance of the hustle and bustle of Galway Centre and the Salthill Promenade. Rest assured we have everything that you will need for your stay. Inside, the interior is beautifully decorated to the highest standard with brand new furniture and fittings in a spacious open-plan living area with fully equipped kitchen, dining and sitting area to comfortably accommodate four guests, two luxurious bedrooms (one king, one double, with premium linen), a family bathroom with high powered electric shower and new washing machine and dryer facilities. All our accomodation is on the one floor so ideal for children or those with limited mobility. A cot is available on request and a toy box is provided to keep all the younger children entertained. The accomodation is light and bright with windows overlooking beautifully matured gardens. Guests have free access to high speed WIFI and smart TV (Netflix, Prime etc). Ample parking is available to the exterior.
