Frank who runs the bed & breakfast deserves the nicest guy of the year award. He was the most accommodating person. We stayed one night at the Petra House, a night on the Aran Islands, and another night at the Petra House. He moved and stored our bags for us while we were on the Aran Islands. We came back... More

My husband and I stayed here May4-6. Our last leg of our trip and it was perfect from a-z. Joan is the best cook and Frank bent over backwards to accommodate all our needs. Felt part of the family and even met their new grandson. Perfect!

We were so impressed with the service and the incredible breakfast. Frank took care of us flawlessly making us feel so welcome. We loved the Wifi too. We will stay here again... More

Frank and Joan were such wonderful hosts for our 2 days in Galway. Their B&B was a short walk to town and very comfortable. They had all of the amenities and a most wonderful breakfast. I had bailey's oatmeal on the day we left-not a usual breakfast choice for me, but we were on vacation and it was so yummy!... More

Petra House, about a ten to fifteen minute walk to all the best sites in town, is a lovely B&B with elegantly appointed dining and sitting rooms. The house was extremely clean and the rooms were very comfortable with bottled water and in-room tea service. There was a lovely, enclosed rear garden spilling over with roses and potted flowers that... More

This is a quiet and comfortable home a close walk to the center of Galway. Easy to find. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, plentiful with lots of choices. Frank was a great host. The home immaculately clean. These people know what they are doing and do it all very well. We would easily stay here again if given the opportunity!

We decided to book with Petra House for our trip to Ireland because it not only had the highest rating on Trip Advisor but because every review talked about how clean it was and how friendly the hosts are. It did not disappoint. Our room was spotless and comfortable and Frank (we didn't really see much of Joan) was a... More

Frank was a wonderful host, full of excellent information on the area. The house is a short walk to the centre of town - cobble stone streets. The room was comfortable and, like everything in the house, beautifully presented. Breakfast was superb and filling. The chocolates we received as a parting gift were the icing on the cake.
