Wonderful stay at Heron's Rest unit #16. We are a retired couple from the USA, traveling with our adult son. The Heron's Rest turned out to be a perfect base for our three night stay in Galway. Everything was great, from the easy booking and check-in, to the fantastic location just a very short walk to the Spanish Arch, to the the beautiful view of the river from the front window in the living room, and the delicious breakfast basket (really, more like a stocked kitchen with meats, cheeses, eggs, yogurt, granola, coffee, tea, and more). They really thought of and provided everything to make our stay a wonderful experience. Additionally, the secure car park was just a short drive, or a quick walk through a courtyard away. Very convenient. We will definitely stay at Heron's Rest again the next time we're in Galway. Read Less

We loved staying here! The location is perfect. It’s super easy to get to many main areas. We walked from the train station, which was about a 10 minute walk. The townhouse is wonderfully laid out and beautifully decorated. We so appreciated the breakfast items that were waiting for us. That is a huge selling point in an of itself. The espresso machine was awesome to have. The one thing that we did not anticipate is the attraction of the house itself. A lot of people would stop to read the awards on the outside wall, as well as look at the house because it was in an Ed Sheeran video, Galway Girl. When we were in the kitchen, it was a little awkward as people would stand right there on the sidewalk looking in. The app that they provide has so much great information. It was super helpful. The management people were super helpful as well. We would absolutely come back to this townhouse again. Read Less

Wonderful stay! I highly recommend this place. Easily walkable to shops, restaurants and bars. It had everything we needed and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. As an extra special bonus, our host provided breakfast foods that took into account our son’s allergies. We are sincerely grateful for that care and concern! We would definitely like to come back for another stay. Read Less

Couldn’t be happier with our stay at Heron’s Rest! Wonderful accommodation for a family, we were able to have our own space and space to be together. Having the breakfast hamper worked perfectly and we took advantage of walking to the Saturday market to add more to our supply. Great location, close to the lively action on Quay street and easy walk to Eire Square and the cathedral. It’s right on the water, so while you are close to the action, it is also a quiet respite and nice to hear the birds. I was so happy to have the opportunity to make a contribution to plant a tree… it felt good to leave a positive mark behind. LOVED IT…HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Read Less
