The Waters Country House
We happened to find this gem and we will definitely be back. We were only there for one night, which was definitely not long enough. Gorgeous views, cozy rooms and delicious breakfast!

Leonardo Hotel Galway
This hotel is just ok.Nothing particularly wrong with it but nothing that wows either. Not particularly GF friendly which actually was the first of many hotels we’ve stayed in throughout Ireland that wasn’t.
