The warm welcome and a stunning space infused with happy thoughts (as well as a playful cat) just made our weekend. We did not, as advised, jump into the sea, but we followed the other instructions and tips and found them invaluable. Breakfast at Ard Bia was icing (mascarpone cream) on the (pan) cake. Do book dinner there at least once if you plan to stay. No trip to Galway is complete without it.
