I was so impressed with Breda's B 'n' B that I'm not sure quite where to begin. The basics are a given- the guest house was clean, temperature appropriate, lovely decorative style, etc. Breda is more than fantastic- at several points she made additional arrangements for our group (I was part of a university group studying in Galway) with no...

As soon as we walked in the door, the lovely Breda greeted us with all the warm, Irish hospitality that immediately made us feel at home. The room we stayed in (2) was lovely, spacious, and very clean. Every morning, Breda and her son made us breakfast, which was always FANTASTIC! She was so helpful and went above and beyond... More

I have never been to a bed and breakfast like this before. It was like staying in somebody's house. The hostess was very kind to my group and the breakfast was very good. My only complaint is that the wifi is not very consistent, but other than that I highly recommend staying here if anybody travels to Galway.

Mike and Breda Guilfoyle are the ideal hosts and their B&B is truly exceptional. From the moment my son and I arrived to the time we checked out (and even beyond check out) Mike and Breda were friendly, hospitable and helpful. My son and I used Galway as a home base for exploring the West of Ireland and Ardawn House... More

The Ardawn House was the best B&B we stayed at during our vacation to Ireland. Mr. and Mrs. Guilfoyle were fantastic hosts, and kept their B&B very clean and hospitable. Mr. Guilfoyle even went out of his way to give us a ride to the train station, so that we would not miss our train as we were running late.... More

Galway was our first stop after arriving at Shannon airport for a 12-day vacation in Ireland in September 2011. Ardawn House was a great introduction to the people and the culture. Mike and Breda were wonderful hosts, gave us recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants. The breakfasts were delightful, filling, and as typical as we wanted. Breda gave us her recipe... More

Spent one night there early May 2012. Host was accommodating and very friendly. House is nice: not the most beautiful but tastefully done. Room was plain and bed was comfortable. Bathroom was small but clean and useful. Water pressure was excellent. Breakfast was very good - the full Irish if you want it.

We arrived in Galway after 6 without reservations. Mike from the travel agency on Forster Street not only helped us find Ardawn but called for us and made reservations. We got excellent recommendations where to have dinner. Breakfast was awesome. Mike and Breda were tremendous hosts. Very friendly. Not only found us a golf course but called and got us... More

Lovely B&B - even lovelier hosts. Mike and Breda were so welcoming and made us regret we only had 1 night's stay with them. Gave us TERRIFIC dinner recommendation - one of the best meals we had while in Ireland - Bar8. I could see being friends with these 2 - if only we lived in Ireland!

We were amazed to find a room right next to the Connaught ground. The greeting was friendly, the room was great, we couldn't ask for much more. We had time to spare so we went in to Galway for a dinner/snack and a pint before the game. We chose a burger shop, Supermacs, a common chain in Ireland but awful... More
