The Herons Rest Townhouse B&B

We stayed 10/2/24-10/4/24. This was one of the best stays I've ever experienced. The location is top notch, the service is quick and kind and our unit was impeccable. It feels like you're staying at a friends house, which is exactly what we wanted after a staying at string of generic hotels. The units are right on the sea and a short 5 minute walk from shopping, pubs and some of the best food in Galway. Do yourself a favor and opt for the Heron's Rest, you will not be dissapointed. P.S. If you take the train in, it's only a 15 minute walk to the units from the train station.

Perfect central location for exploring the lively city and local area. In a wonderful position right next to the water’s edge. Stayed in the small courtyard house - comfortable, well maintained and quiet. Super breakfast ingredients, and Sorcha was a lovely host.

We really enjoyed our stay in Galway, and our accommodation at the Herons Rest was perfect. We were delighted to discover some thoughtful touches like local jam and butter in the fridge, and a loaf of bread from a nearby bakery. The downstairs is living space with a sofa and chairs, and a kitchen with bar seats. The kitchen is well appointed, with all you need to make a simple meal. The upstairs is the bedroom and bathroom. There is plenty of space to put your luggage and hang clothing. The location is really the best--just steps from the rushing Corrib river and the Latin Quarter, and an easy walk to the town center and train station

Great location within walking distance of everything. Spacious house overlooking the water, wonderful breakfast food basket provided by the hosts. Hope to go back to Heron’s Rest on our next visit to Galway

The Heron's Rest Townhouse is a gem in the shamrock of Galway; minutes away from the Spanish Arch, Galway City Museum, and the Latin Quarter- but proximity is only the tip of the iceberg to staying here. The apartment is four floors and immaculate in terms of cleanliness and stocked full of amenities. To name a few: Projector on the fourth floor to conduct a movie night using your own streaming services; a shelf library and reading area to catch up on all your Irish Literary icons; a fully stocked kitchen with utensils, dishes, cutlery, and pans; food and beverages including juice and milk, eggs, condiments, charcuterie items such as Smoked Salmon, Irish Cheese, Bread, granola, and cherry tomatoes. I made open-faced Smoked Salmon and Tomato Tartines for breakfast with their specialty select items- so good! Instructions are provided for all of the logistics in terms of parking, as well as appliances through their own App which you can download to your phone. If you are the next guest to stay here-- you will agree with me -- that it is tantamount to finding a four leaf clover in the heather on the hill-- you are super lucky and you will not regret it-- and the memories you produce within this haven of an accommodation will be indelible.

Great place, best location Galway. Very clean and well equipped. Very nice breakfast basket. Nice views of the river and Spanish Arch. Would stay again. Very responsive host. Definitely recommend reserving the parking spaces. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee
