Cottage at Doonagore Castle
Magical cottage in Doolin’s countryside. Easy 10 minute walk to town if wanted a bite to eat or drink. Super friendly hosts. This place is gorgeous and a must visit. Hope to come back again one day.

Live like a King in my Castle
An amazing experience! The castle is fabulous, the surrounding scenery is magnificent! Peter and Eva greeted us, gave us the lay of the land, showed us everything about our space. Peter gave us great recs for sites! We loved it!

Single room in Galway City. Bed No 3
Comfortable space for one person with a kitchen and nearby supermarkets for those looking to cook their own meals before venturing to the pubs. Close to Eyre Square and walkable to what Galway has to offer.

Sea-Renity Cottage on The Cliff
Jean’s home was a bit of heaven. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and this was the perfect spot. So much to do an hour’s drive in each direction. Spectacularly beautiful views. After long summer days exploring the area we loved coming back to have a drink in the back overlooking the bay and watching the sunset. I can’t rave enough at how fabulous this place is!! Thank you Jean for a lovely stay.

Abbeyglen Castle Hotel Economy Room
Staying at Abbyglen was a magical experience. Brian and the staff made me feel very welcome and everyone was super friendly. I had a wonderful meal at the restaurant and breakfast was a treat every morning. The prosecco reception added an extra something that made my stay even better. Even though I was travelling solo, I never felt alone. Walking distance from Clifden center, easy bus connections to Connemara National Park. Rented a bike and cycled the Sky Road. The room is very comfortable, with a beautiful ensuite bathroom. Don't forget to have a drink at the piano bar in the evening, and enjoy the live music and amazing atmosphere!

Nualas Seaview Haven
We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed staying at Martina’s. Everything was exceptional from the location to the amenities to communication with our host. We immediately felt at home and the neighborhood was very welcoming. There is so much to see and do in Salthill and the view from the balcony of The Prom and Galway Bay were amazing. Pubs and restaurants were in close walking distance and although a car is not required, the place comes with its own parking space. The location is also on the bus line so we were able to hop the bus and head down to the Spanish Arch, the Latin Quarter, or Eyre Square to easily enjoy all that Galway has to offer. We highly recommend Martina’s Airbnb in Salthill!

Spectacular and Contemporary Penthouse in Galway
We loved our stay! It's roomy and has great views. The rooftop terrace was beautiful. It was immaculately clean, a great location, and an easy walk into the center of town. John was very responsive and the checkin/checkout instructions were clear. There's a binder with explanations and photos for all the appliances, TVs, and WiFi connection, as well as info on restaurants and food markets. I highly recommend staying here, and I look forward to my return trip.

City Centre Chic. Breakfast included
Marie Louise is a delightful hostess and we loved chatting with her. She is so friendly and accommodating with brilliant suggestions for seeing Galway and the surrounding area. Great location within walking distance of the railway and the rooms were quaint and comfortable.
