I had a wonderful three-night stay at the Herons Rest. The owner Sorcha is a friendly and gracious hostess who warmly greeted us at check-in and helped us get settled quickly. Sorcha knows the town and surrounding areas very well so she was able to make some wonderful restaurant recommendations (Kai Cafe was our favorite) and suggestions on local crafts,... More

My husband and I picked the Heron's Rest upon reviews on Tripadvisor. The B&B is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The place is spotless and the breakfasts were amazing, table was set with cheese's and fresh baked mini muffin's and beautifully set. We were very impressed with Sorcha as she was training a new chef the first morning that we... More

Wonderful room all by itself on the top floor - great big window opens out to a view of the river and many birds in sight. Breakfast is delicious, as noted by many others. Locally sourced foods when possible. Really nice people run and work at this B & B. Although near the Spanish Arch which is a big gathering... More

The Herons rest is a small and very nice Bed & Breakfast with a view of the sea in Galway. The breakfast is very fresh, tasty and amazing compared to other hotels I stayed on this trip. The owner/cook is extremely competent and friendly and gave us a lot tips and ideas for our stay in Connemara. The only negative... More

A group of friends and I just returned from an advenure to Ireland. We stayed at The Heron's Nest for 3 nights and couldn't be more pleased. The house is in a wonderful location, as it overlooks the water for a peaceful retreat. However, it is just a short walk to shopping and anything else you could possibly want to... More

Our family of four adults stayed here for three nights on our visit to the Galway area. I had seen some negative reviews but noted that they were from several years ago; I am glad I did not heed them. The Herons Rest was absolutely delightful! We had two rooms, each with its own bath, each on its own floor.... More

My husband and I stayed at this wonderful B&B for 2 nights. It is a perfect location...right on the water on the edge of town. It is a few minute walk to the center of the action...but just far enough out to be peaceful. The breakfast was the best we had in two weeks in Ireland...fresh everything! Sorcha is the... More

I stayed in The Heron's Nest twice so far and I'm sure I'll stay there again. The house is in a great location, combining a peaceful view over the water with the convenience of being only a stones throw away from the hubbub of the city. The welcome is warm and the breakfasts are particulary fantastic.

Last summer I stayed at this wonderful B&B for 2 weeks - so glad i found it! Perfect location with a gorgeous view - right on the water near the spanish arch, unbelievably excellent breakfasts - beautiful and delicious - starts with fresh yogurt parfaits with homemade granola and fruit, fresh baked muffins and scones, fabulous irish cheeses and wonderful...
