We had a wonderful stay were greeted on arrival by a young friendly man who made us feel very much at home. Carrying our cases to the top floor . Nothing was a problem and went out of the way to meet our needs . Breakfast was great and we requested brown bread which was available the next morning. The... More

We stayed at the Lighthous B&B on Sat night and let me tell you, we were treated like royalty! A young man greeted us by opening two big doors positioned underneath the B&b allowing is to park out car in a double garage. From that moment on we felt like we belonged at this wonderful homely place. The young man... More

I stayed here on a Sunday with my sister and boyfriend. We were greeted by a friendly young man who helped us squeeze my car into a tiny car park before checking us in. He showed us to our room and pointed out the room's facilities. We got ready to go out. The shower was warm but took a long... More

After reading the reviews here (after booking) I was terrified. However, I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The room had a wonderful view of the water. It was quiet and clean. I would have given it four stars, but when we checked in, the man who greeted us told us breakfast was included. At 10:30 that night, when we... More

I can not understans all the bad reviews at all. It's absolutly nothing wrong with this place. We had a great stay for two days. Every day we get full irish breakfest with Bacon, beans and Toast. Room and bath have been clean, WiFi for free and the young Guy at the reception has been very friendly. He helped us... More

Easy to be reached by car and only 10 minutes far (walking) from city center. During our stay only a poor russian lady showed every now and then. No Irish hospitality... And even breakfast wasn't that Irish, after all, especially if compared with other locations. The worst part has been that during our 3 days stay nobody (not even a... More

She said that she did not want to stay here as they were advertising under false pretense.....and she said she wanted to cancel the card payment..... They took the... More

Perhaps I am not the most qualified person to write a review of this place as I didn't actually get to stay here, but herein lies the problem and this subsequently poor review. I had booked two rooms for two nights through an on-line site;Booking.com. It was only after I had booked that I read the two reviews on Trip... More

I agree completely with the other reviewer. The location is not great, but not terrible either, but the hosts are downright nasty (or, at least, one of them is). I arrived on a Thursday night and asked the man who checked us in if we could do laundry (we had visited the Cliffs of Moher and gotten our pants muddy).... More

It looked kind of ok, when we saw photos on the net. The name is slightly misleading though, it doesn't overlook Galway bay, but Lough Atalia which is not really spectacular. Still, it is in walking distance of the inner city, 20 mins maybe, that's not really special in a small place like Galway. What was really terrible though was... More
