"Lovely hotel and staff, good feud and music very centrally located in old town"

"The Kinvara Guesthouse is a jewel. It's big-city lodging in a small, cozy Irish town. It's the kind of town one sees in Irish travel books and brochures. Parking is available in front of the guesthouse, on the street, essentially. They have an elevator (lift) which was a big help for my wife (and me with our luggage). We had a huge room on the second floor with a view of the "plaza" in front of the guesthouse. The bathroom was more than adequate. Our only complaint is that there were no wash cloths (but none of the Irish hotels we used had wash cloths - must be an Ireland thing). The included breakfast buffet was delicious. No white or black pudding or sausage or fried egg, but had more than enough other choices to be satisfying. We liked the location very much. The nearly lake and Dunguaire Castle is very picturesque. Pier Head restaurant has delicious fare. Galway is a short 25-minute drive on the motorway. Even the drive to Rosaveel Harbout, to catch the ferry ot Innishmore, was quite easy from Kinvara. While there are other pubs in town, we thought Tully's Bar, just around the corner from Kinvara Guesthouse, was a joy. They had live music two nights in a row - bluegrass one night, traditional Irish the next - by musicians who just showed up to "play for fun." In any case, Kinvara Guesthouse made for a very relaxing, pleasurable, and comfortable three-night stay."
