We only stayed for one night but it was comfortable and clean! Was a short Uber ride to the downtown area. Rooms are small but 4 of us (two couples) stayed comfortably:)

Highly recommend! This property is in a great location! Walkable to the beach and to the town center of Galway. It has everything you need including a washer and dryer, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, supply of towels and soaps and shampoos. The kitchen is well stocked and is perfect for making a meal in for a night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was the best property we visited by far!

We were in Galway with our daughter and her friend. The Blackrock Retreat was everything we expected. It was clean and well appointed. My husband enjoyed the sunrise from the Diving Tower and the restaurants and pups were just a short walk away. The only disappointment is that we had to leave!

We loved, loved, loved this VRBO property in beatuiful Salt Hill, Galway! It was very clean, spacious, well appointed . . . . what a wonderful welcoming place to come home to and relax when the busy touring day was done! The sweet garden with table and chairs out front was such a cozy space to relax in at the end of the day . . . .. admiring the beautiful flora and fauna, listening to the birds with a glass of wine and reading What the Wind Knows (fantastic book! I got it to celebrate our first visit to beautiful Ireland!) The location was PERFECT. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood which was perfect for us (we are both 65, retired and treasure peace and quiet!) easy drive into Galway proper, perfect for day trips to treasures like Cliffs of Moher and Kylemore Abbey. We were blessed with (mostly) good weather and it is an easy walk down to the beautiful Salt Hill Beach . . . so lovely, I wish I was back there right now! I normally book places where I can communicate directly with the owner, but I have to say Michelle with the property management company was AMAZING!! Gave all the information we needed, made recommendations, and promptly answered any questions we had. I highly recommend this beautiful Salt Hill getaway! We made memories there that will be with us forever. Thank you so much!
