Not only does the Devondell have an excellent location, charming character, and a fantastic breakfast menu, but the true gem here is Berna herself! My husband and I had traveled Ireland for 2 weeks and Berna's was our last stop. Let's just say she made it TRULY hard to leave Ireland! She was such a warm and welcoming host who... More

We were so well taken care of at Devondell! Berna offered us refreshments as soon as we arrived, but we were in a hurry to get out and about - maybe an error since we missed an opportunity to chat and enjoy her goodies! The breakfast she served the next morning was awesome, beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. Our room... More

Our stay at Berna's Devondell was perfect. We didn't have a car, but the location was central enough that we could easily walk for 20 minutes to great shopping and eating. Berna was a wonderful host, giving us information on the day tours and even doing the bookings for us. The tours either came to the door or stopped a... More

Our stay at Devondell was amazing. Berna is a perfect owner and her kindness is really rare. Entering into her B&B you find a very elegant but warm and sweet atmosphere. The breakfast and the preparation of the table for breakfast is unbeliveble. The choice is wide and food is home-made. You can't miss it! Rooms are very clean and... More

We first met Berna in 1993 when we traveled to Ireland on our first of 6 visits. Berna's welcome made us immediately feel like we were her very special guests and that has grown over the years of return visits. Her recommendations are spot on, both good and bad, and we have continued to correspond over the years, bringing small... More

We first stayed at Devondell in 2009 and have often reminisced about the cozy & clean accommodations in a quiet part of Galway. But the best part of Devondell was spending time talking with the owner, Berna Kelly. As described by many, Berna is most definitely the friendliest, most charming and accommodating inn keeper in Ireland! She is truly an... More

My friend and I were in Galway for 2 nights. We spent the 1st night at a horrible B&B near the city center so we wanted to find a nice place for the 2nd night. We read that Devondell was the best and were shocked when Berna had 2 single rooms available for us. I cannot express how wonderful our... More

The place is relatively small, and cozy. It's around 15 minutes by foot from the center of Galway; the walk goes through safe areas, so you have little need to use public transport. Berna is really friendly and welcoming. She provided all the informations I needed during my stay. The rooms are clean and warm, and they have the look... More

Devondell is an amazing place to stay if you are in Galway. If you are in the city to enjoy the atmosphere and people than it is perfect for location and an idea of the culture. Berna is the hostess of the place and I can not gush about her enough. She should be added to a list of people... More

Berna is wonderful character and makes the most amazing breakfast spread, you may want to skip lunch or dinner the night before so you can try everything. A haiku: Berna knows Galway B&B with kooky charm When can I return?
