After having spent two and a half weeks touring Ireland with family, I stayed on and met a friend from Germany. We wanted a nice quiet waterfront B&B away from the hustle and bustle of the city. That's exactly what hosts, Tom and Colette provide. The room was typical of Irish B&Bs in terms of size and amenities. Nice separate... More

Room: Very spacious and nicely appointed and overlooking the bay from our window. We had asked for twin bed and we got # 3 - and our room came with 1 double bed and 1 single bed so we had plenty of space. The bedroom and bathroom were spotless clean. Breakfast: Eggs I ordered was perfectly cooked, I hate overcooked... More

Tom & Collette were wonderful hosts. They made us reservations for the Aran Islands and recommeded an exit route when we left the area to avoid the construction. Breakfast was made to order and quite good. We had a lovely visit with them and really enjoyed talking with them. It was a long walk into Salthill but it was beautiful... More

Colette and Tom were most gracious and welcoming. The rooms were beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. Even the bedrooms in the back looked into a lovely garden. Breakfast was excellent. Tom and Colette provided great directions to help us by-pass heavy traffic areas. They recommended a wonderful restaurant 5 min. away. We had a family group of 11 and Colette... More

When my friend and I arrived it seemed like a nice place but was a bit far away from the main area of Salthill. We went out late that evening, when we were preparing to leave the following morning the owner arrived at the door and demanded that we pay for a second night because there was fake tan on... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. Tom & Colette were fine host and helpful with our travel planning (helping us avoid road construction sites while sightseeing). The meals were excellent, too. More

From the minute we were 'greeted', it seemed our host was in a very bad mood. Very curt, and even rude. He seemed to want to hurry us away so we stayed only one night. His manner or lack of manners was unsettling. We had had great hostesses and hosts until this night., as well as the nights after. If... More

Our bedroom had views out over Galway Bay - what a wonderful sight to wake up to in the morning. The roooms were generous in size, the bed comfortable, and Tom's cooking was amazing. A warm, friendly atmosphere made us feel very much at home. Highly recommended. Thank you. More

Nice B and B. I was given room # 3 which had a twin and a double. My friends were given room #4 which had two twins. Decent location but had to drive to get food. It's about 1.9 miles to Barna which has at least two decent restaurants. Our hostess said it was about 1.25 miles and we tried... More
