We spent 3 nights at the charming Ardawn House in Galway. It is in a perfect location to walk into town to the sights, restaurants and pubs. Breda and Mike were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome in their home. The breakfast they prepared was delicious and sharing stories and info with both of them was a treat.

Mike and Breda are amazingly hospitable. We've been in Ireland for 2 weeks now and the Ardawn house was by far the best stay. My only critique would be that the wifi does not reach upstairs, but in every single other hotel we have been at the wifi has been more horrendous so I think the Ardawn house is the... More

Staying here is just like being welcomed into a traditional Irish home. Its just five minute walk from the city, The rooms, and breakfast are great. But the host really is the most. Can't wait to come back!

Just got back from Galway and stayed at this B & B. What a great place. It is close to the town and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. Lovely B & B with a great breakfast as well. Brenda and Mike were very friendly. I would go back.

Easy & short walk from the bus station, with luggage, even for a couple of seniors! Both Breda and Mike were very friendly and accommodating. Excellent breakfasts with wide choice of fresh fruits, breads, meat, eggs and more. This B&B was fairly newly constructed (approx 20 yrs ago) but was built to appear like an much older building with high... More

My husband and I stayed at Ardawn House in early April. The first plus is that there is off-street parking, so you are guaranteed a place to park in this lovely town. The house is clean and tidy, and our room was very comfortable. Unlike another B&B we stayed in while visiting Ireland, the bed was comfortable, the heat worked... More

Very friendly and comfortable. Excellent breakfasts. On College Road, which has dozens of bed-and breakfasts, so one needs the number (31) to find it. Ardawn is conveniently located 5 minutes walk from the Tourist Office and 10 minutes from the city centre. It is also easy to drive out of the city. The only disadvantage was cramped parking space, requiring... More

Ardawn house is the best accommodation in Galway. I was greeted by Mike who made me feel extremely welcome! I met Brenda the next morning, who was just as lovely. They were both wonderful hosts. Together they whip up a 5 star breakfast. That Irish breakfast will keep you pleasantly full till mid afternoon. Mike was especially helpful in directing... More

We spent two nights in this bed & breakfast in July 2012. Everything was perfect and we appreciated the irish breakfast and the atmosphere of the place especially the typical furnitures. The informations supplied by Mike were perfect. We really recommend to stay there.
