My husband and I stayed at Brian's Galway Hideaway for three nights. The moment we pulled into the driveway and saw the lovely cottage, we were immediately excited! The cottage is quaint, cozy, and just as Brian described. The views of Galway Bay from the front yard were beautiful even through the rain and hail we experienced while there.
Brian and his dog Puff welcomed us warmly when we arrived. Brian took time from his busy day to show us around and make sure we were settled. He recommended some nearby pubs in barna and gave us directions (Donnelly's Pub is a must - delicious and what I imagined an authentic Irish pub to be!).
The cottage was very clean and Brian provided us with all the amenities we could have needed, including some breakfast items. He even provided a hairdryer when I inquired. A hairdryer seems trivial but it helped me to pack light!
I highly recommend Brian's Galway hideaway cottage for anyone that is looking for a quiet, cozy, and affordable spot just outside of Galway City and a short drive to the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren. We hope to stay there again on our next trip to Ireland!
Thank you Brian! Cheers!
