“A wonderful stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

We missed meeting Breda because she was out of town, but can't say enough about Mike's warm welcome at his immaculate home. His breakfasts were delicious! Ardawn is a quick walk to downtown and a much needed walk home after eating delicious Irish dinners! Having stayed in other B & Bs with cramped rooms, we immediately appreciated the ample closet space and drawers. Galway is a lovely town with lots to see and do. Again, Mike exemplified Irish hospitality at its best when he drove us to the train station! We'll be back!

“Lovely B&B would stay there again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

I stayed with a group of friends and the accommodations were lovely and the breakfast was excellent. Would definitely stay there if I am in Galway again.

“Lovely people and a nice place to stay...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

The proprietors are so generous and lovely - Breda opened her kitchen to me to help myself after I missed breakfast for a meeting - and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this B&B when visiting Galway.

“Superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011

This was our second time staying with Mike and Breda. They are wonderful hosts who look after their guests like family. We arrived on an overnight flight from NY totally jet-lagged at 8:30 in the morning. They invited us in as our room was available and graciously let us catch up on some much needed rest. Smoked salmon for breakfast with the most amazing brown bread. Mike and Breda are avid hillwalkers, and gave us good advice on which mountains to climb in Connemara. A short, but memorable visit. We hope to return!

“Just as good second time around!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011

This is the second time we have stayed at Ardawn and we have found the location to be ideal for exploring Galway - around ten minutes walk to Eyre Square. Breda and Mike are excellent hosts, very obliging and always willing to help make a stay more enjoyable. The breakfasts are great quality (poached and scrambled eggs cannot be beaten!). There is always coffee and a range of teas in the lounge whenever you need it. The bedrooms are well presented and we have never had any problems with noise. The beds are also very comfortable. Looking forward to another visit in the future!
