Noel was an amazing host. Made us coffee and tea as soon as we arrived. He made wonderful recommendations for dinner and things to do in Galway. Room is clean and comfy. His full Irish breakfast rivals that of Lough Eske Castle in Donegal. We know because we had stayed at the castle the night before. His place is tucked away in a quiet, peaceful side of town but still conveniently located near Galway town center. We highly recommend!
