The spacious guest house features a flat-screen TV. Towels and bed linen are available in the guest house.

Galway Greyhound Stadium is 7.9 km from the guest house, while Ballymagibbon Cairn is 44 km from the property. The nearest airport is Shannon Airport, 87 km from Cosy Rooms in a Stone Cottage.

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.

Wild Atlantic Stay Guest House Self-Catering, a property with a shared lounge, is situated in Galway, 22 km from St. Nicholas Collegiate Church, 23 km from National University of Galway, as well as 23 km from Eyre Square. This guest house features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

The property was like renting out a single room airbnb. You had access to a kitchen and living area but basically on your own. It was quiet, and clean. The host were kind but we didn’t see too much of them as we were out and about a lot. Perfect location for visiting Galway, Canamara, and Aran Islands. Also the views of the ocean and the cute walk down to the shore was a nice benefit.

    My time in Galway was amazing & way too short. My stay at Griffith Lodge was very special. Anne the Host was so lovely & kind. I loved our little chats & time together. She was great support & helped me to navigate around Galway on foot My room was very comfortable & the Guest House was a great location. I was given the most beautiful breakfast & Anne made sure she took care of my special dietary needs. I would highly recommend Griffin Lodge & hope I get to come back soon. Thanks Anne you are very special 🙏❤️

    We were welcomed by a very kind host who provided great vegan options for breakfast. The house is located in a very quiet neighbourhood and our room was large and comfortable. Great to have free parking by the house, relatively close to the city centre.

    10 mn walk uphill from Central station. Not located directly in the city centre but easily walkable in 10-15 mns. Room was very clean and loveley, enough space for luggage (even a closet). Hostess couldn`t have been nicer. Breakfast was incredible, freshly cooked, be it porridge or full irish. Fresh fruits, self cooked cakes, bread, cheese.

    The location, the host, the guest house in general were all wonderful. Shauna is a very attentive host who knows her city well and has lots of helpful information for guests. The guesthouse is close enough to the city center to walk everywhere but far enough away for a quiet stay. Breakfast is an incredible spread, and you can't beat being right on the ocean in Salthill.

    Amy and Paul are very welcoming Hosts and their breakfast was great. We enjoyed our stay. Great location in a quiet neighborhood but only 10 minute walk to the city center. Possibility to park our rental car in front of the house was convenient.
