Tara Lodge Galway

We were going to spend a week in the western part of Ireland and decided to make our base in Galway. I stumbled upon Tara Lodge and decided to give it a try. It was a great decision. The B&B is about 2 miles from the main part of Galway so you probably will want to drive into the city though we did walk it one day and it wasn't a bad walk at all. If you don't mind being away from the center of the city, this is the place to stay. Orla was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and quiet though the bathroom was extremely narrow. That said, there was plenty of hot water and a good shower so it was not bad. There is free parking as it is in a residential neighborhood so that is also a plus. However, we did have to pay 5 Euro a day when we drove into Galway - I recommend parking at the Cathedral as you can stay all day for your 5 Euro there as opposed to garages or metered street parking which are more expensive. After 6:30 pm, the cathedral parking is free. Anyway, back to Tara Lodge. The wiifi signal was very good even in our room and breakfasts were great. I would definitely stay there again if I am ever in the area.
