The Guard House was a wonderful cosy space right in the thick of everything. The noise pollution was minimal and it was scrumptiously clean. Although the space was small, with two adults and two teenagers we had plenty of room to relax and hang when we weren't out exploring. The space was wonderfully decorated with a modern industrial vibe. Joanne (our host) was very thoughtful to get the heat on for us before we arrived so it was lovely, cosy and warm when we stepped in from the cold Galway air. Everything was there that you would expect (Hair Dryer, Electric Kettle, Fridge etc) and some that we didn't expect but were thrilled (Barry's Tea, Taytos, Snacks). Although there was no parking at or near the building, Joanne did recommend where to park and the daily parking rates were inexpensive and the lot was safe for overnight. The walk was about 7 mins from the Nest Apt, but easy and accessible. Highly recommend this cosy clean haven in the heart of Galway.
