The property was squeaky, clean and had everything we needed. We were in Europe for a full month and stayed at many properties, and this place had the most comfortable bed. The host Ronnie, went out of his way to welcome us with warm apple pie and to help us plan our days for a while we were there. He even packed a scone, butter, and water, and had it waiting by our door in the morning before we left on our adventure.

    Our stay at Cosy Room in a Stone Cottage was simply amazing. The accommodation itself was beautiful and spotless. It’s surrounded by beautiful Irish countryside and is a stone throw away from Galway city centre. Ronnie was so kind and attentive to our every needs; and made us feel at home from the moment we stepped inside. He gave us all the local tips a tourist could wish for. We can’t recommend our stay here enough.

    Cottage is cosy, clean and beds were super comfy. Lovely to see the sea from back of house and down the lane. Lovely location, close to Bearna and Salthill. Buses from Bearna to City 424 but timetable will need to be checked as not that regular which is to be expected. Sean was super responsive to messages!
