We enjoy providing a home from home experience and strive to offer you a personalized locals insight service. On order our continental gourmet breakfasts, provisioned from local and organic produce give you a taste of the best of the west. In each stylish sea view bedroom lots of thoughtful touches enhance your comfort and panoramic views of the bay give a feeling of idyllic hideaway whilst still located in the city centre. We love to share up-to the minute advice with you on the best restaurant recommendations and help you with your reservations. Galway is the perfect base for day tripping and we offer a number of tours which can be booked directly on our website in advance of your arrival. If you are driving we would be happy to help you with personalised route planning to ensure you can avoid the tourist traps and find unspoilt secret spots. Why not let us pack a gourmet picnic for you? and let us recommend our favorite places to stop. Breakfast is included and can be re-ordered during your stay (extra charge). This is made up of Irish farmhouse cheeses, local artisinal products and fresh baking. In our next door property we offer a 3 Double Room Bed and Breakfast. We look forward to welcoming you to Galway.
The Herons Rest is uniquely located by the waterside within a stone’s throw from the city centre action, we call it keeping it country in the city. Turning right out the front door takes you to the Spanish arch, the historical city walls and across the fish market plaza to the pubs and restaurants of the Latin Quarter. The view from your room overlooks the Claddagh quay where the river Corrib meets Galway Bay. It is a tidal harbour with an incredible rise and fall of 15 feet. This sheltered harbour is home to the traditional black boat with rust coloured sails known as the Galway hooker. Alongside the pleasure boats Lobster and crab fishermen can frequently be seen landing their catch. The Mutton Island lighthouse is situated at the mouth of the harbour and the blue limestone hills of the Burren lie on the opposite shore, making it a very safe harbour for sailing. On our doorstep Corrib river is the shortest an fastest moving river in Europe and its bank is teaming with wildlife and home to one of the largest colonies of mute swans in Western Europe. Occasionly from your window you may be entertained watching wading fishermen seeking elusive salmon. Enjoy the best of both worlds
