Just a really cool chilled place to go , leave the kids run wild and explore , we had a lovely walk up to the graveyard mighty excitement as there was cows in the field . We will be going back !!

    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!
