We LOVED staying in this beautiful 3 bedroom with Cathedral view. Such a beautiful home with bright happy colors and exceptionally comfortable beds and a beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking the stunning Galway Cathedral with bells tolling throughout the day and were glorious. Doreen was amazingly in touch and so kind and helpful. We highly recommend staying here and the location in the Galway city center is fantastic!

We'll definitely consider this property again! We loved the space available to us so that our family group could relax together or retreat to quiet rooms. Doreen made sure that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we really appreciated it. The location was perfect for us. We comfortably walked to events and shops. It really was a wonderful place for us to stay. Thank you to our host!

The location, comfort and cleanliness, along with the well-kitted accommodation, were exceptional!The host was very gracious, providing breakfast beverage supplies (tea, coffee, milk) and snacks (muesli, brown bread, jam and butter) that lasted most of our stay. There were also some lovely sweet snacks for afternoon tea (Cadbury anyone?). The bathrooms were also well kitted with paper products, soaps,etc.Four of us (ranging from 9-71 yrs) relaxed comfortably in the lounge and bedrooms. The location was central to Galway Shopping, The West End, Riverwalk, and local coffee, grocery and parks/playgrounds. I highly recommend this location and would gladly stay there if we return to Galway,

From the start of the booking the host was responsive and helpful. The host also met us upon arrival with coffee and snacks waiting. We were also able to check in about an hour early due to the timing of our train arrival. It fit our family of 6 perfectly. While two of the bedrooms are small, the beds were comfortable. The walk to the city center was easy and quick. Overall an excellent place to stay!

Delighted you enjoyed the accomodation. 6 adults stayed 2 cars cannot be accommodated on site. There are lots of parking facilities nearby which have a minimal cost for city centre parking. I did allow access to parking anytime it was requested. Unfortunately a busy time with university returning.

Perfect location

Wonderful stay here! Accommodations are clean and just as described. Cool view of the Cathedral right across the street. Easily walkable to everything and close to all the activity but just far enough away that it is quiet. Also right across from University of Galway campus so very accessible to that as well. Highly recommend this place and Doreen is a great host!

This property has the perfect location near Galway Cathedral. This is a relatively quiet site and a very quiet building...every wall that I knocked on was solid concrete so there was no transfer of sound from neighbouring units. It is an easy walk from the Property to just about anywhere you would want to go while visiting Galway. Doreen, the Host, equipped this suite with everything one could possibly need, which for us included a travel crib and high chair for the 15 month old and...a plethora of welcome treats to enjoy after a day of travel. Upon our arrival I realized that I had inadvertently left some items that I had purchased in Dublin on the train and Doreen hopped in her car, drove to the train station and retrieved them for me...talk about going the extra mile! With 5 adults and an infant in our group we might have wished for slightly more bedroom real estate and a third bath would not have gone unappreciated but all-in-all the space met our day-to-day needs nicely. We would choose this Property again in a heartbeat. Doreen was a model host and we couldn't say enough good things about her.

We loved this place. It was right next to the river walk & only a ten minute walk to pubs and shopping and Galway sites. With its own parking lot and gated entrance, it was a little hide away amidst the busyness of downtown. And the view of the cathedral, and sound of the bells, from all the rooms was a bonus. Additionally, holy cow it was so well stocked! Really set up for cooking at home, or hosting a big group., not just equipment but oliver oil, salt, tin foil, etc, Great big roomie living/dining area. And my 81 yr old mom wanted to make sure I said that the sheets were amazing - scrumptous high quality cotton. My 20 yr old daughter wanted to point out there were instructions on everything - how to use the microwave, the washer, etc. On the first floor so a little cave like but we appreciated that when we got home after running around Galway all day. Note - there is a big music venue next door & the weekend we were there had three very large concerts with storms of people entering at 7pm then leaving at 11pm - but the gated area kept them far away from our entry. Plus, the concert staff cleaned up debris immediately after the concert, and the place cleared out by 11pm each night. And the place has really good windows which blocked a lot of the noise. So it didn't bother us. Just big thumbs up for this place!
