    Our stay at Cosy Room in a Stone Cottage was simply amazing. The accommodation itself was beautiful and spotless. It’s surrounded by beautiful Irish countryside and is a stone throw away from Galway city centre. Ronnie was so kind and attentive to our every needs; and made us feel at home from the moment we stepped inside. He gave us all the local tips a tourist could wish for. We can’t recommend our stay here enough.

    Lovely cottage, small and cosy, with comfortable sofas and beds. Very quiet and isolated from the noise and busyness. The location is good, 20 min or so drive from Galway. Kitchen is overall good for cooking and there is enough cutlery for a big group. The heating works very well unlike what other reviews say. WiFi is very good as well.
