As part of a string of good luck in finding exceptional accommodation in Ireland, I came across Dolores's B&B in Galway.

I booked over my phone while on a train from Dublin, slightly nervous I would not find a place to stay. Dolores responded to me quickly and offered me a room for my two nights in the town.

The location of her B&B is close enough for many to walk from public transportation, and a tenner from the train station/Eyre Square.

It is perfectly located for those who wish to be close to the picturesque water views, pubs, and restaurants, and just far enough from the action to ensure a quiet nights rest.

Dolores was a friendly and uncomplicated host who without intrusion ensured I had everything I needed as promised in her listing.

Breakfast was lovely, and my room was comfortable and spacious considering the reasonable price.

I was glad to have encountered Dolores on my stay in Galway, would not hesitate to stay with her again, and highly recommend her accommodation if you are looking for a place to stay.
