I took a spontaneous trip to Galway this summer and found this B&B the perfect place to stay. Its located just a short distance from the start of the walking streets where all the stores, bars, and restaurants are located. Sorcha was very helpful in giving me all the information I needed to get around solo and even packed my... More

Herons Rest is very central so you can easily walk around & discover Galway, plus you have parking available right outside your door. Sorcha, your host gives an extra touch to your welcome with a crystal decanter and brandy for two plus a delicious chocolate to enjoy. The room was small but clean. Our own bathroom was outside our room... More

The Heron's Rest is not only ideally situated for exploring Galway and the surrounding area, but its owner, Sorcha, really makes your stay special. She is charming, friendly and gracious, and went out of her way to make our stay perfect, helping us book tours, for example, and a table at a very trendy Galway restaurant at the last minute...

Located in a quaint area overlooking the harbor; it is an easy walking distance to all the wonderful sights of Galway City. The rooms are very clean and comfortable,... More

My father, my partner and I stayed at this B&B for one night. Sorcha the proprietor was available to deal with all of our questions/issues and very attentive.
