It is located 10 min from Galway city center, which was very convenient.
Our hosts were very kind to us.
We would definitely come back if we have the opportunity!”

“We found Mary and Jarlath's place to be like a home away from home. If I could live there, I would!
We found the house to be even more beautiful than it looked in the photos on the listing! The decor was modern but approachable and the furniture was beautiful and comfortable. The appliances were new and of high quality. Everything was clean and clutter free, but still had character and personality, not a "sterile" feeling.
The house felt private but not isolated. The surroundings were beautiful. The sound of birdsong in the morning was a lovely thing to wake up to.
We appreciated Jarlath's welcome and him giving us a thorough briefing of how to properly operate everything in the house so we weren't left wondering, "how does this thing work?!" He also gave us an overview of the area, shopping tips, and maps to reference, all with a healthy dose of wit and humor.
Safe parking right in the driveway was also a huge bonus.
Favorite Airbnb stay of our entire Ireland trip!”

“Mary and Jarlath’s place is fantastic! My family and I were greeted by Jarlath after a long day of travel and he walked us through the space and made us feel right at home. The place was super clean and Mary and Jarlath even left breakfast makings and fruit that made our experience even nicer!
Quick drive into town and a great place to stay to explore Galway (way closer to the town center than we thought)! Would definitely stay here the next time we visit Galway!!”

“An absolutely fantastic accommodation in a beautiful location, with the friendliest and most welcoming hosts. Not too far from the centre of Galway by car, but also really peaceful and manages to feel like you’re in the middle of the countryside. We’ve just spent a few nights there and were really sad when we had to leave. Will certainly look to return in the future.”

“The guest house was amazing ! Very beautiful,comfortable and well appointed. Jarlath met us, let us in and gave us a tour of the place, he was warm , welcoming, & charming. It was a bit tricky to find the house , but their clear instructions to use the eirecode helped. we drove in and out of Galway, mostly due to weather , but one could probably walk. Not many restaurants or pubs nearby , but a tesco was close. The property is a wonderful getaway from the city .”

“What a great location outside of Galway. Perfect to watch the rains, trees swaying and see the birds of Ireland. They even left us an informative visual sheet that assisted in getting to know the feathered locals. This spot has all the amenities — we didn’t go without thanks to the fabulously stocked kitchen! Plumbing can be a tad loud but it runs hot and provides an excellent shower. Wonderful people, wonderful home — so glad we stayed here. Will recommend to our friends! Go raibh maith agat”

“I am sad I am only limited to five stars. This place deserves 10 stars! Mary and Jarl have gone out of their way to make this a wonderful sanctuary for the traveller! Lovely pristine place surrounded by beautiful gardens, and lots of birds. You really feel like a little bit of paradise was captured for you! We enjoyed our stay and all the amenities of the apartment! Also I have to mention the extras that they gave us, fresh fruit, and all the food essentials, eggs, milk and bread plus other extras as well. It truly felt like you were staying with family! Loved it!”

“Mary’s place is squeaky CLEAN. I felt like I was home and everything we needed was available. Mary’s husband let us in and he gave us a quick tour to explain where everything was. He even showed us a list of birds that we can watch right outside the window where the bird feeder is. The place is immaculate. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable and clean. Water in the shower had great pressure and plenty of hot water. The location is very private and peaceful. Latin quarters is not too far. Maybe about 12 minutes away and there are tons of restaurants, nightlife and pubs to visit. We rented a car so we drove everywhere. Street Parking is not always available but there are parking lots everywhere. The Airbnb is far enough to give you a quiet stay with all the nightlife not too far from you. Plenty of supermarkets around the area for groceries. This is definitely a gem and I would come back and stay again. Highly recommended.”

They also were very sweet and provided some recommendations for the area as well as great instructions on how everything worked in the house which was very helpful. It was also really lovely that they gave us some food to make breakfast with for the next day. Truly one of our favorite places we stayed in all of Ireland and would definitely recommend!!”

“The pictures don't do this place justice! What a beautiful private addition to the host's home. Check in was easy after a long drive from Dublin. The space is a private entrance from the home, which is situated in a beautiful property with a beautiful garden and greenery. The house although private and tranquil is only a 5 minute drive to the heart of Galway where we spent a couple of nights dining and drinking. Cabs/Ubers were easy to come by for nights out.
The space we stayed in was an architectural gem - lots of unique features but modern & clean. There's a full kitchen, dining area, large living area, private bedroom and large bathroom with a washer/dryer. There were lots of amentiries and toiletries. We loved bird watching in the mornings and gazing at the stars at night.
If we're lucky enough to ever come back to the Galway area we'll definitely look to stay here again!”

“This space was a very nice place to stay. Washer/Dryer, large dishwasher all inside the place. The garden was a nice retreat outside with many different birds visiting the property. Owners live right next door so any issues (which we had none) and they would be right there to solve. Place is an easy drive into Galway. There is a bus that goes into town, but we did not partake. The location is very private from the main road even with the driveway leading directly out to the main road. If our future journey's take us back to Galway, we will definitely keep this place in mind to stay again.”

“Perfect, wished we stayed longer. The home was stocked well and the hosts were very friendly. Jarlath left us the fixings to make our own Irish breakfast which was a lifesaver after traveling. The home is just a few minutes from the grocery store and in a perfect spot. Felt safe and the area was so peaceful. My 6 and 9 yo girls loved the treehouse and the large windows. We loved bird watching every morning. Beds were comfortable and the linens were spotless. Home was very warm too which felt wonderful in the cold rainy weather. Overall this was a wonderful experience! Would definitely return.”

“We really enjoyed our stay here! The home is beautiful and the yard/landscape are very tranquil. The hosts were very kind and flexible with giving us the option to stay an extra day if needed after we had rental car trouble. Very clean, well-kept, and kitchen had everything we needed. The hosts checked in on us regularly and made sure we had what we needed. The only complaint is we did not have hot water when it got later into the evening, and the hot water did not come back on until the next morning. But other than that, we'd highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again if we are ever in Galway in the future!”

All amenities within the unit were top-notch and spotlessly clean with VERY soft and comfy linens. Mary and her husband were so lovely, and incredibly kind, and they left us quite a lot of food and sundries so we felt right at home. They also left us some wine, which was greatly appreciated! They have helpful maps and brochures for the area laid out and it was peaceful, quiet, and very private. We didn't want to leave! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we would love to come back and stay here again one day!”

Everything we needed was available and extra rations in the freezer. Large bowl of fresh fruit on the kitchen top was appetising.
Lovely outlook over generous gardens and a perfect view of the goldfinches feeding throughout the day.

My husband, parents and I stayed here for a few nights while we explored Galway and took a day trip to the large Aran Island, Moir, which was definitely a highlight if not the best part of our trip across Ireland! Our favorite pub here was O’Connell’s.
Best Airbnb experience we have ever had!”

“Mary and Jarlath's place was such a beautiful stay in a great location. They were beyond accommodating with our group and they could not have been friendlier. The communication was clear and super helpful from the moment we made our booking.
I really could not recommend this lovely place enough. a great spot run by lovely people.”

“visiter le connemara en ayant un port d'attache comme cette location, c'est juste du bonheur ! tres bien accueilli, avec des échanges tres agréables et amusants, nous avons pu profiter de l'emplacement pour visiter Galway, et faire un petit road trip jusqu'a clifden
tout y est propre, de tres bonne tenue et en prime les fruits nous attendaient ainsi que de quoi faire un petit dejeuner irlandais. Une attention qui a ravi toute la famille ! et si vous aimez les oiseaux, il suffit juste d'observer et d'écouter !”

“would highly recommend it. the place was sparkling clean, very comfortable and cozy. with 2 couples there, we had plenty of space and our own comfortable bedrooms. Mary and Jarlath had left us some food for us for breakfast which was greatly appreciated as we didn't have time to go grocery shopping.
it was so quiet and peaceful. Best thing to do in the morning with your cup of coffee or tea : watching the birds!
it's also very closed to the city center by car (5 to 8 min)”

“This accommodation exceeded all expectations. We were traveling with our 15month old & another couple and their 10month old. One cot supplied and we brought our own travel cot. Plenty of space in each room for these. The cleanliness of the property was second to none, absolutely spotless. Lovely and spacious for our group even with all the luggage you need for two babies! The gardens are so well maintained - beautiful! My son had an absolute ball exploring! Bbq available to use which we availed of each evening since babies were with us. Property is beautifully decorated with fresh, clean, modern vibe. Galway city only a 5minute spin away (provided traffic is light). Salt hill another 10/15 min spin away too. Recommend visiting Loughwell Petfarm in moycullen if visiting with kids. 10/10 for this property. Thank you so much Jarlath & Mary!! Karen & co”

Jarlath gave us an entertaining and helpful tour of the space upon our arrival. We walked into a sparkling clean space with great amenities of which included a giant bowl of fresh fruit. We wish we could have stayed longer we felt so at home there. Thank you for a wonderful visit to Galway, Mary & Jarlath! You made it difficult to leave :)”

“Magnifique logement de grand standing,Mary et Jarlath nous ont accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse et de disponibilité.
Nous avons eu beaucoup de marques d’attention :vin ,corbeille de fruits,petit déjeuner typique.Bien que la maison soit attenante ,Mary et Jarlath respectent l’intimité de leurs hôtes.la maison est à cinq minutes du centre mais le jardin est un havre de paix
Allez y les yeux fermés vous serez comblés”

“The house is a very spacious, comfortable and high-quality place. We particularly enjoyed the well equipped modern kitchen and dining area. Big windows and lots of natural daylight as well as tasteful furnishing and decoration complete the amazing overall impression. Mary and her husband were very helpful and even provided everything for breakfast which we found very thoughtful. The whole house is very clean and shiny and offers the perfect frame for your stay in Galway.”

“I don't know where to begin - amazing experience! No wonder Mary and Jarlath are super hosts, they really have thought of everything. From the friendly greeting on arrival and very informative tour, the lovely welcome touches like bread and milk, breakfast ingredients, two bottles of wine (😃) to the wonderful location and beautiful, spotlessly clean accommodation with literally EVERYTHING you need. Our grandson loved all the toys and books (and treehouse and swing in the garden) and we loved the fancy-dan kitchen, showroom-style bathroom, super comfy beds with crisp sheets and cosy duvets, TV with satellite and digital channels galore and lightning fast Wi-Fi. Location is good, too, quiet neighbourhood but only a short drive from all the shops you'll ever need. Don't hesitate to book, you won't be disappointed.”

“We really enjoyed our stay. The place was immaculate. Excellent quality towels and bed linens. It is beautifully appointed and so many thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay so comfortable. Could not recommend this place more. This is the place that all future Airbnb stays will be compared to and it will not be easy to surpass.”

“Mary and Jarlath were wonderful hosts. We had a mix-up with dates (my fault) and they went above and beyond to help accommodate us. Their beautiful, modern rental is set in an amazing garden not too far from Galway’s city center. It was stocked with fresh fruit and breakfast items, and it was as comfortable as it was pleasing to the eye. We absolutely loved our time there. If you are coming to Galway, it’s an great choice.”

“Mary's cottge is lovely. Close enough to Galway but far enough out of the city to feel like you're having a good break. The cottage is beautiful, sparkling clean surrounded by lush gardens - even better than in the pictures. The hosts are super accomodating, friendly and helpful. Everything you need and so much more. If you're heading up the west coast, and looking for a base for your adventure, definitley stay here.”
