Galway City Centre Stay

n the heart of Galway City, this newly refurbished apartment is located adjacent to Galway's infamous Woodquay, where everything is at your front door. It is one street away from Galway's main shopping and nightlife street. This apartment was renovated in 2019 but as the original building is over 100 years old there were limitations in the level of sound proofing that could be carried out. As a result sound can travel from within the building and from main city centre street.

Live like a King in my Castle

SusanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Peter has done a wonderful job refurbishing this very old castle. All the amenities are current and up-to-date. One thing that Guest need to know is that this is a 18th century castle and the spiral stone staircase is wonderful and unique, but you will not really be able to comfortably carry a suitcase up so just be aware we didn’t have a problem with that. Also be aware of that. The main living area is on one of the floors and the bedroom is on another which again is not a problem just unusual as it would be if you were staying in a castle. And keeping with this primitive castle, which again is very well done and refurbished the bathroom is primitive. You won’t find a shower, but he did have a chance to show us his ingenious hidden bathtub.

JeannieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

I immediately felt welcome and at home in Ann’s house. Her attention in the morning to everyone who stay’s there is incredible. She makes everyone breakfast, and has fresh baked croissants every single morning. The house is easily within walking distance to Galway City. Her daughter Paula is there also to welcome you and recommend places to eat at night. What a true treasure it was to find Ann’s home. All I can say is thank you for making a solo traveler at ease. You truly embody the saying Cead Mile Failte.

Claregalway Castle - River Room (1st Floor)

GraceRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Staying here was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The moment we drove through the gates, our jaws literally dropped—the castle is absolutely breathtaking in person! From start to finish, everything about our stay was magical. Our hosts were so warm and welcoming, and even gave us a personal tour of the castle grounds after a delicious breakfast. Our room was immaculate, cozy, and full of charm—we loved every second of it. As an added bonus, we were greeted by their adorable local cat, Elizabeth, who instantly made us feel at home. The location is also fantastic—just a short walk to several great restaurants, making it easy to explore and enjoy the local cuisine without needing to drive. I can’t recommend this place enough, 10/10!

The room is small but really cozy, perfectly clean and the premises is in a quiet corner around a lot of greens so really easy to relax with a walk around. Phil is kind and very welcoming, when I told her I could make it to the breakfast starting at 8 she offered to prepare some pastries and yogurt for me to take away.
