Furthest Point West in Galway provides accommodations with a private beach area and a garden.

Laura and Tommy were amazing hosts and truly added so much to our Ireland experience! Their property is in one of the most beautiful (and remote) parts of Connemara and as others have reviewed, the photos from the listing don't begin to explain how gorgeous the area is. The room we stayed in (1st on the left) had one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in. We were able to hang out by the woodstove at night with Laura and Tommy (and their two cute AF doggies) and talk about everything from Ed Sheeran to sheep farming to the upcoming presidential election. It was so meaningful to be able to connect with such amazing folks and they couldn't have been more welcoming into their home. To top it off, Laura made us cinnamon rolls and cappuccinos for breakfast.

    Of the B & Bs and guesthouses we enjoyed in Ireland, Adare House was the best. Location was perfect--beside a park, in a safe neighborhood, in walking distance to the Spanish Arch and other attractions. Breakfast was phenomenal, so many choices, perfectly prepared, and served in an elegant dining room. The room was beautifully decorated, spotless, light, and airy. Ciara, our hostess, was congenial, relaxed, and attentive to our needs. Felt like we were staying in a luxurious private home.
