The Heron's Rest was the perfect spot for our family of five, and we loved our stay there. The home was spacious, clean, comfortable, but best of all was the location - so close to the Latin Quarter, we could walk to all the pubs and restaurants and sights. Also just over the bridge was the West End, and the Claddagh, and a short scenic walk to Salthill. We loved our stay at the Heron's Rest and would highly recommend it! Read Less

Hard to describe how idyllic this place is. My husband and I and our two daughters and one daughter’s fiancé shared this lovely waterfront townhouse on Galway’s Long Walk. Every room had a beautiful, relaxing view of the river rushing by, and we woke to the sound of seagulls. Heron’s Rest provides a stocked kitchen so we could make our breakfast at our own pace every morning — eggs, cheeses, sourdough bread, smoked salmon, granola, yogurt, milk, juice, coffee, tea, jam, fruit and everything we needed for our three-day stay. We were steps from the Spanish Arch and the Latin Quarter and also could walk to Salt Hill and other parts of the city. This stay was at the end of our travels around Ireland, and it was the perfect place to relax. We all fell in love with Heron’s Rest and Galway. Read Less

We had a wonderful time staying at the Herons Rest. The location was amazing and our host, Sorcha, was wonderful and had great suggestions on things to do from Galway. I would definitely stay there again. Read Less

My husband and I staying here on during our honeymoon in October 2019. Silvia was an amazing host. She was wonderful to make recommendations for local eateries and things to do. I loved that she had muffins available and they were delicious! We couldn’t have stayed at a more welcoming place. The breakfast was delicious and refreshing. We absolutely would come back! Read Less
