I highly recommend Brian’s place for anyone planning to visit Galway but looking for a little quiet as well. The place is very clean and has everything you could possibly need. The location is wonderful, being only a few minutes drive from the water/local pubs and 15 minutes or so to downtown Galway. This was the perfect spot for our family of 3 that allowed our 15 month old to play outside safely with our downtime. Our only regret was that we didn’t stay more than 2 nights. Brian was such a wonderful host with a wealth of knowledge about the area and had tons of recommendations that we went to and enjoyed.
