There were two issues we had with this B&B. It was too far from downtown Galway. We needed a place within easy walking distance and this did not fit the bill. Second, while the rooms are very nice, the bathrooms were the smallest we encountered on our trip. We had no problem, but the sink hangs over the toilet. Not... More

Although it was one of the more expensive rooms of our 4 weeks trip through Ireland this place is really poor ! The rooms a very small and although we stayed here for 4 nights we had a bathroom in which we hardly could turn. The room and bathroom were not very clean and some things like the light and... More

Nice location if you are driving or like to walk along the seaside. Sara and Gerry were gracious and very helpful throughout my longer stay. Breakfasts were excellent! and varied. Room was clean and fairly quiet. I highly recommend this B&B. The only drawback is that the common/breakfast room is locked in the morning, so we early risers have to... More

We found the Ross House from a recommendation from the tourist information center. After driving from the rental car lot in Galway ( our first Irish driving experience) we were so happy to settle in to the Ross House. Sara was so amazing. She took care of us as if we were her children! She gave us great ideas of... More

The room was small but neat and clean. Sara was very kind and the breakfast was cook to order and excellent. Location is great - a 10 minute walk to the city center. A very nice stop.

Walking into Sarah's b&b was like coming home. This is an incredibly warm and gracious environment with an excellent breakfast run by a totally accommodating woman who will absolutely help you out to the best of her ability. Ross House is clean, organized, calming and I can;t recommend it enough. If I am ever lucky enough to go back to... More

Ross House is in a great location – a short 10-minute walk to Galway city centre. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. Sara is a lovely hostess – very helpful with directions and places to go in Galway. Yes, the bathroom was small, but that is part of the adventure, and the three of us were able to share it... More

My husband & I stayed at Ross House for 3 days and had a wonderful visit. Sara was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were delicious and varied from a full Irish breakfast to fresh fruit, according to our wishes. Our room was clean & comfortable. The location of Ross House was nice - a quick 10 minute walk took... More

I hate writing bad reviews, but Ross House definitely merits a whopper. When we talk about Ross House now, my family joking refers to it as “Ruff” House. It was a huge disappointment. Yes, it is well-located from the perspective of being able to walk (20 minutes) to Salt Hill or (15 minutes) to downtown Galway. But don’t believe it’s... More

Sarah was an excellent hostess. She was very friendly and gave us excellent advice and help. Breakfast was the best of our tour. Sarah made us pancakes one night and french toast the other night. While the house was a bit difficult to find, the location is a reasonable walk from both Galway city (walking Street) and Salthill Center. On... More
