Super spot for a great time in Galway! The Heron's Rest is just brilliant- the host was superb, the accommodation a cosy home from home. The view across Galway Bay was priceless and the location is perfect for exploring Galway City, Salthill or even, further afield. Loved the food hamper - delicious, quality Irish produce! The place was spotless and had all that we needed for our stay. All in all a perfect spot. 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

Staff was helpful, especially with a last minute booking. Space was comfortable and enough for to make breakfast easy. Safe and easy parking. Only issues was the street staying pretty busy, so a good amount of street noise later into the night (we had clear weather so lots of folks out). And the wash/dry machine never really dried the clothes. If you don't like stairs, toss wouldn't work, but otherwise comfortable. Read Less

The Heron’s Rest is the best of the dozens of accommodations in which we've stayed over the past 17 years. Its location on the Long Walk is unbeatable: the views are terrific and it’s a stone’s throw from the shops, bars, cafés, restaurants, and bustling scenes of both the West End and the Latin Quarter of Galway. The lovely townhouse itself is spacious, and well organized. Delicious food and drink awaited us when we arrived. Sorcha, the owner, was very accessible both by WhatsApp and in person. If we return to Galway—and we probably will because we loved it—we would stay again at the Heron’s Rest without a second’s hesitation. Read Less
