Detailed Reviews
My sister and I had a wonderful time staying with Anna at her B&B! The room was spotless and overlooked the ocean, the breakfast was incredibly good and generous (you can choose a full English breakfast, just tea and scones, or anything in between), and the host was so lovely and helpful. It's a beautiful 60 min walk to downtown Galway along the ocean, or else an easy bus ride. Definitely recommend this delightful B&B!

My sister, mom and I absolutely loved staying with Anna at her beautiful and most delicious B&B. She felt like family by the end of our stay. Her bed is the most comfortable. Down comforter and pillows. We all slept like babies. The location of the house is great while staying in Galway and the view from the house overlooks the water. Can’t wait to stay here again!

The Claremount house was our last B&B in our two week Ireland adventure and we enjoyed it immensely. The room was comfortable and we felt at home. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed watching the golfers across the road as they played through their game. The breakfasts were wonderful! I'm disappointed with myself that I didn't ask for the scone recipe - some of the best I've ever had. The B&B is in a great location as we were able to visit Galway City, Connemara, and Kylemore Abbey. It was a wonderful stay.

Good and not so good points
The house and bedrooms were very cold when we arrived and when we asked for the heat to be turned on, Anna said she would put the heat on at 6pm but not before then so during the day it was uncomfortably cold.
There’s no coffee facilities in the room and breakfast stops at 9am so no hope of a ly in, usually it’s served until 10.30 or 11am.
The bed was very comfortable and had a lovely cosy duvet. It was dark and quiet.
Nice breakfast with a stunning view of the bay.
Overall, for the price it’s pretty basic and unremarkable. I wouldn’t return in a hurry, especially in winter when it’s so cold.

Response from Anna Monaghan, General Manager at Claremount House
Responded 8 Jan 2024
Hi . I have responded to your review on Booking.Com. From the time you arrived 3 hours early at 1 pm when it states check in is 4pm you were not very happy as you wanted to cancel 2 days before arrival and stay at the hotel were the conference was been held that you were attending . You asked for the heating to be put on at 1 pm when your check in time is 4pm. The heating is on from 4 pm and you were told this. You came down for breakfast at 8 30am and left the table at 10 20am. I have given a description of all that is on offer at the Claremount House in my response to your review on Booking. Com. You order was poached egg and spinach which was served hot to you and then you complain on your review that it was cold. It took you almost 2 hours to finish breakfast. You did eat everything. You were offered coffee and scone on your arrival. Guest can have tea or coffee anytime during the day and enjoy the views over Galway Bay from our beautiful sitting and dining room. Our room price is based on 2 persons sharing and you booked for 1 person. I feel this review was already written by you before you arrived as it was the hotel you wanted to stay. I had lots of guest staying the same weekend for the same conference and each and everyone had an enjoyable experience.

We stayed 3 nights here as part of our Ireland trip. We were extremely well looked after by the lovely Anna.
The large bed was very comfortable in our garden view room. As we had not taken shower gel with us and it was not supplied, Anna kindly gave us some of her own
Breakfasts were very filling and everything was of a high quality. It was lovely to have fresh strawberries and blueberries each morning. As we stayed several days, we alternated the hot dishes between the full Irish and porridge and pancakes. Anna gave us some foil to wrap her home made scones in for us to eat later in the day.
Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Beautiful home in a great location with parking and convenient to the Galway area attractions. Our rooms were impeccably clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. Bathrooms were en-suite and had a great shower. We enjoyed breakfast and our host was so welcoming- she directed us to a restaurant for dinner within walking distance and offered directions for a scenic route to our next destination. A lovely B and B outside the hustle and bustle of Galway City.

Our stay at Claremount House was wonderful. Anna is very sweet and serves a lovely breakfast complete with local knowledge and good advice. It was a great base from which to explore Connemara and the Aran Islands and to listen to trad music at pubs in central Galway. The location is nice, right at the end of the Salthill Promenade, and very nice trail along the waterfront. We would book here again. Thanks, Anna!

Loved our short stay at Claremont House. The beds are SO comfortable - like sleeping on a cloud! Showers are perfect - super hot & have great water pressure! The standout however is the service Anna provides! She is so caring and puts on a superb breakfast. Loved our stay! Highly recommend!

We stayed with Anna on Friday night as we attended a wedding in the Salthill Hotel. Anna is a wonderful host, very helpful and hardworking. The room had a beautiful sea view but unfortunately it was raining for our visit. Room was spotless, very comfortable bed and enauite bathroom was immaculate also. Breakfast was beautiful as was the fresh coffee! Thanks again Anna and we will be staying with you again in the future I'm sure.

Don't let the location make you move on (it's beside a petrol station on a busy road). This is a great place to stay with the best bed, towels and shower that we experienced in Ireland. (A good bed and bathroom is all you want at a B&B anyway.) Steve, the owner, ran a pub for over 20 years, so he knows how to be a genial and welcoming host. Anna, his wife, welcomes you into their home and you feel part of their large family.
It's only a short drive into the city of Galway or you can take the bus that's just outside their door. The Galway Golf Club is just a block away and you have an excellent view of the bay with a superb walk along the Promenade down into the village of Salt Hill.
