This is as good as it gets. You look out at the bay & watch the tied rise and fall, impromptu musicians pop up occasionally, shopping, museum, are a few minutes away. It would be hard to go back and stay anywhere else. 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

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

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
