We had an incredible experience at the Mountain View Guest House!
Patricia was extremely kind and accomodating. We arrived late asking to look ariund the area, and she actually drove us to the castle nearby to arrive there before closing. As well, we had an early morning tour and Patricia went out of her way to make us an early breakfast. She was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend her B&B to anyone.

Ideal stay for work
I had a fantastic stay - perfect for a business trip.
Patricia made it feel like a home away from home with her hospitality and personal touches. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious.
Patricia was also incredibly helpful with local tips, from restaurant recommendations to navigating Galway’s traffic. I highly recommend this guest house and will definitely stay again if I'm in the area!
