Mountain View Guesthouse
What a lovely guesthouse! It is spotlessly clean and quiet, and Patricia is a welcoming and gracious host. She prepares wonderful breakfasts each day. I highly recommend Mountain View if you want a Galway-area stay, a bit outside the city.

Camillaun Lodge
Lovely couple who own this B&B were very accommodating and helpful. Nice facilities. We enjoyed the spa and the full size snooker table. Easy walk into town for dinner.

SUPERB COTTAGE ON 9 ACRES PROPERTY
This is undoubtably the quietest, most private and most relaxing accommodation that I have ever booked. Bring a good book, a set of field glasses and chill out.

Beautiful cottage. Everything was wonderful. Very clean. Central location to access the area. Short driving distance to Galway and Connemara. It was the walking distance to Oughterard was fabulous.

Historic Georgian Country House with Private Garden & Riverside Charm
They took out deposit with zero communication. We booked and paid half, they didn’t contact us for the further payment, just took the deposit and cancelled without notice, ruined our joint family reunion, then kept the large deposit.
