Lovely quiet location out of the business of the Galloway but convenient for the excess to the road to see the beauties and sites of Ireland.
Host Ronnie rolls out the welcome mat for guests that began with bowls of delicious apple crumble and ice-cream. During our three-night stay in Ronnie's spotless and comfortable home, he shared his local knowledge, provided personalised routes for our day trips and perfect restaurant recommendations. Thank you Ronnie for making our Galway stay so memorable.
Our room had sloping ceilings - a challenge for two tall people - and bed could be a little creaky.
Host Ronnie was zeer gastvrij!
Perfekte Lage und es war sehr ruhig. Sehr netter Vermieter. Man wurde auch gut mit Infos versorgt
The host was amazing
Wonderful host in a wonderful part of the world
Excellent location close to Galway with plenty of local restaurants and facilities.
Nothing….
We stayed in Ronnie’s for 2 nights as part of our roadtrip around Ireland. I can’t speak highly enough about the property but more importantly Ronnie. What an amazing host, so friendly and accommodating. His recommendations of where to go on days out were invaluable. Plus the apple pie and ice cream when we arrived was gorgeous.
Nos encantó el alojamiento! La habitación grande, limpia y muy acogedora. Un wc enorme. Ronnie was absolutely kind on our whole stay. He welcomed with a delicious Apple pie, and other day a piece of cake. Kind and helpful. El entorno tranquilo y precioso y cerca de Galway. We Would repeat if We ever come to Galway again. Many thanks.
Nada que reseñar.
The owner was so warm and welcoming. The position quiet and peaceful.
Ronnie is an exceptional host. He went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. We highly recommend the venue as a base for your travels in western Ireland
Μου άρεσε πολύ το ποσό φιλικός ήταν ο ιδιοκτήτης. Και η εμπιστοσύνη που μας έδειξε.
Το μπάνιο ήταν μικρό, και το πρωινό σχετικά απλό.
Very helpful and friendly host Bed very comfortable room of good size and most of all. Room spotless ✨️ Perfect peaceful location 👌
That I stay couldn't stay longer
L’accueil, l’emplacement, le petit déjeuner et la convivialité du propriétaire.
Pas suffisamment de place pour les affaires de toilette dans la salle de bain.
Sehr gemütliches, schönes Zimmer in traumhafter Lage. Ronnie ist ein unglaublich freundlicher und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Man fühlt sich, als würde man zur Familie gehören. Wunderbar!! Um es mit Ronnie zu sagen; HAPPY, HAPPY!!
Absolut nichts!!!
Sind von unserem Host sehr herzlich mit Apple Pie und Eis empfangen worden inklusive umfangreicher Insidertipps für unsere Tour. Haben sogar Reiseproviant für unsere Tagestour vor die Zimmertür gestellt bekommen. Großartiges, ruhig gelegenes Haus, komfortables Zimmer und noch großartigerer Host - Herzensempfehlung!
All thd accolades for the host, Ronnie are well deserved - a generous, kind and responsive host. Comfortable accomodation in peaceful location - ideal base for Connemara on outskirts Galway. Good breakfast. Great suggestions from Ronnie re scenic routes. Thank you!
All great!
Ronnie was very friendly and welcoming. Very comfortable room. Felt very relaxed. Good location near to Galway. Good continental breakfast.
Ronnie è fantastico. Mi ha dato un sacco di dritte su dove andare sia nel Burren che nel Connemara. È allegro, sorridente, e mi ha messo di buonumore. La casa è bellissima, silenziosa, nel verde. 10 min da Galway, ottima posizione come punto di partenza sia per il Connemara che per le cliffs of moher. Ha il WiFi e la colazione
- familiäre, sehr gemütliche Atmosphäre - Ronnies und seine Reisetipps :)
Ronnie is a terrific host and treated us more like friends than guests! He put a lot of time into making sure we enjoyed our experience in Galway, giving us a detailed map and notes to get the most out of our day in Connemara. The location of the cottage was in a peaceful area that was a few minutes drive from Galway. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Thank you, Ronnie!

We felt super relaxed at Ronnie’s home and the room we stayed in and breakfast each morning exceeded our expectations. When we arrived we were given some delicious apple pie with ice cream which we were super grateful for. In addition to that Ronnie had some helpful tips on the area and made sure we were welcome and comfortable. We hope we get the opportunity to stay at Ronnie’s place again.
Ronnie, the host, is a great guy. Ths Cottage is in great condition and close location to Galway City Centre.
I just loved this place,,I would highly recommend staying here,the host was very welcoming,and a great conversationalist,very down to earth. The Apple tart and cream and the cup of coffee both evenings of my stay went down a treat,I have stayed in lots of places, but the "Cosy Rooms in a Stone Cottage had a different touch, a touch of class and a home from home, isn't this what we all strive for, when we go for our long or short breakaway.. I will definitely be returning ☺️ Joan Brosnan, Woodford Co.Galway.
I don't have any.
A beautiful cottage & warm welcome from Ronnie had us feeling like we were home, a fabulous feeling in the midst of a few weeks of travel. Apple pie & ice-cream soon after arrival was delicious & a lovely treat. Ronnie suggested a few things to do while in Galway. His most helpful map & a couple of notes ensured we had a brilliant day and got to see & experience Galway in ways we otherwise would have overlooked. Can’t thank Ronnie enough for his 11/10 hospitality, thoughtfulness & sharing his much loved and very beautiful cottage with us.
The Cottage with the red door was a really lovely stay.
Our stay at Cosy Rooms was exactly as described in the listing. Everything was truly clean and well maintained, which made us feel comfortable from the very first moment. Ronnie is an excellent host — he genuinely cares about the people staying with him and is always willing to help with anything you need. On our first day, he welcomed us with homemade apple pie, and one evening he even prepared dinner for us, which made the experience feel incredibly warm and personal. The room was always warm, cozy, and perfect for resting after a long day. We felt at home throughout our entire stay. We definitely recommend this place and enjoyed it so much that we are already planning for our family to stay here when they come to Galway.
Everything was perfect.
The place is beautiful and quiet. The owner was lovely and super welcoming, we loved the stay!
El alojamiento es espectacular, la atención de Ronnie era de 10, no pudimos estar más cómodos y contentos tanto con la habitación como con su atención. La casa está a 10/15 minutos en coche de la ciudad, pero a la vez en una zona muy tranquila y con mucho aparcamiento en la parcela, lo cuál era positivo. Además, Ronnie, dejaba un poco de desayuno para todos los huéspedes (cereales, café, té, galletas y croissants), sin coste extra. Nos gustaría volver.
Sólo tengo dos quejas: 1.- La principal queja es que no nos pudimos quedar más tiempo 2.- Como pequeña crítica, estaría bien que preguntase a los huéspedes si tenemos alergias alimientarias para que nos pusiese algo sin gluten (pequeña crítica)
La casa es muy bonita y acogedora, el comedor precioso, y la cama muy cómoda. Pero lo mejor es Roonie y su hospitalidad, una persona amable y simpática. Nos ayudó mucho.
Nada, todo nos gustó mucho!
I couldn't have stayed with a kinder, more welcoming host. Ronnie welcomed me with apple pie and ice cream, then gave me a tour of the area in his car as I was attending a training course in the area the next day. He even shared his own dinner with me on the first night as I was tired after travelling. The room was spotless, great hot water in the shower, good WiFi and comfy bed. Easy to park at Ronnie's too. If you have time to do his recommended Connemara route, do! I'm already looking forward to planning my next visit back.
La tranquillité du lieu.
Un petit déjeuner "complet" bien frugal et très irrégulier en diversité ! Une chambre en sous pente peu pratique !!
La casa, l'ospitalità, il servizio, la colazione, il supporto per le visite turistiche, i suggerimenti
Il meteo :-)
Superleuke host! Attent, iedere dag flesje water en zelfgemaakte taart of koeken. Bracht ons zelfs naar het centrum en haalde ons weer op. Echt superaardige man.
Alles was top.
Ronnie was a super nice host, he gave us some freshly made apple pie on the first night, and the accommodation was really nice overall
Nothing
Hôte très acceuillant, attentionnée avec une tarte aux pommes à l'arrivée, un petit déjeuner le matin. Très bon emplacement non loin de Galway.
My wife and I stayed here while visiting Galway, and our host Ronnie made the entire trip unforgettable. He was truly exceptional—honestly a 12 out of 10. Staying here felt like having our own private concierge. Ronnie went above and beyond with thoughtful recommendations, pointing us toward hidden gems and local spots we never would have found on our own. Thanks to him, our time in Galway became something far more special than we expected. If you want a stay that feels personal, welcoming, and elevated by a host who genuinely cares, this is the place. We can’t recommend it highly enough.
Tout était parfait, Ronnie est un hôte accueillant et la chambre était parfaite ! Il nous a donné un goûter à notre arrivé et tout les matins un petit déjeuner ! L’endroit est magnifique!!
This is the ultimate in B&B home experience. From the apple pie and ice cream on arrival, everything was absolutely fantastic. Ronnie is the most welcoming host and his home is magnificent. His communication and recommendations were excellent! Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The location is great, so peaceful and quiet, and a short drive into Galway. Loved our stay here and really enjoyed meeting Ronnie.
Lovely homely feel and such a welcoming host with fantastic local knowledge
Very friendly and helpful owner, comfortable room, good breakfast, quiet location.
Nothing really. One potential issue is that you need your own wheels, there's nothing within easy walking distance, but we knew and expected that.
La atención de Ronnie
Comfortable bed, very friendly host
To był super czas. Czuliśmy się jak u przyjaciela w odwiedzinach. Polecam!
Very clean and comfortable in a handy location
Nothing to complain about
Non ero mai stato in una casa privata a diretto contatto con il proprietario. Devo dire esperienza positiva. Il proprietario molto gentile e disponibile. Casa bellissima e ben tenuta. Colazione ben organizzata e con tutto il necessario. Posizione in una zona tranquilla a pochi minuti dal centro. Camera pulita e con tutto il necessario. Complimenti al signor Ronnie !
Ronnie was very welcoming and gave excellent advice on the sights that we should see. We loved the location in the outskirts of Galway, reached through narrow country lanes.
Breakfast was plentiful, tasty and self service. Cooked food was not available.
Nothing
Colazione buona, ottima accoglienza da parte di Ronnie molto gioviale e disponibile a offrirci utili informazioni sui luoghi da visitare e sui pub/ristoranti in cui mangiare. La casa è fuori dal centro di Galway. Noi l’abbiamo apprezzato perché è stato piu’ facile raggiungere le nostre mete nella costa occidentale e nel Connamara evitando l’intenso traffico cittadino. L’unico problema è che la casa è raggiungibile solo in macchina.
Very nice room and Ronnie was a very helpful host. He gave us heaps of good tips including for our trip further afield (we headed north to Sligo), as well as a beautiful loop around the Connemara area.
Nothing - but Google maps took us on a “back roads” trip to get there - to fellow travellers, we suggest you take the N59 and turn off onto Oranswell road, and use the property eircode once you are on Oranswell road - so much easier.
Tout! Super acceuil Ronnie est super gentil accueillant, nous a donné de super infos pour le Connemara. Super tarte au pomme 😘 la chambre jolie confortable propre un lit super confortable. Une maison "cottage" typique on a adorer on recommande a 1000% merci de France
Il cottage è molto accogliente e pulitissimo, la nostra camera per due dotata di bagno con doccia era molto intima, luminosa e confortevole. Letto comodo e stanza silenziosa. Dotata di ogni confort. Il cottage ha un comodo parcheggio di fronte alla casa che dista 10’ o 15’ dal centro di Galway per cui comodo per gli spostamenti. Inoltre è vicina alle attrazioni più interessanti come Salthill, il Connemara National Park che merita una gita in giornata A/R, e ai traghetti che ti portano alle isole Aran, la località è Rossaveel e il primo Ferry parte alle 10:30, meglio acquistare i ticket online. Ronald è l’host perfetto che vi potrà dare tutte le informazioni per vivere al meglio la vostra vacanza.
L'accueil attentionné de l'hôte qui fait honneur au B&B. Le sentiment d'être reçu par un ami.
Un lit un peu petit, mais on ne peut pas tout avoir quand on va chez des amis
L’host
Fantastisk och personlig värd som gav många fina tips på trevliga utflykter. Vi gjorde en lång dag norr om Galway och en ’normal’ full dag söder om Galway. Mycket trevligt. Boendet överträffade våra förväntningar.
Det låg ca 15 min från Galway centrum. Men det visste vi när vi bokade.
Loved the experience. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, it was amazing. Very nice house, with good breakfast included, such amazing hosts. I highly recommend it.
Nothing, everything was perfect
Very convenient location to explore Connemara, Galway, as far north as Mayo. The host, Ronnie, is very hospitable and helpful, and he gave us great tips on the area and our journey. He welcomed us with apple pie and gave us water and snacks for the way! The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and we felt like we were staying at a friend’s place. Big bonus points for the huge bathtub in our room’s bathroom! Breakfast was provided, which was lovely.
Cottage curato ed accogliente alle porte di Galway. Facilmente raggiungibile (noi eravamo in auto) e in mezzo al verde. Stanza molto pulita e dotata di tutto il necessario. Padrone di casa adorabile! Ronnie ci ha accolto con torta di mele e gelato e ci ha fornito consigli sul viaggio durante tutta la permanenza.
Suggerirei solo di arricchire un po’ la colazione, ma tutto perfetto!
Seimininkas Ronnie - nuostabus!
Viskasnbuvo puiku!
Il soggiorno è andato molto bene. Siamo stati accolti dal proprietario con torta di mele e gelato, una mappa utilissima per il nostro giro del Connemara, infinita gentilezza e simpatia. Ronnie è un ospite unico e la sua casa è pulita e accogliente. Ve lo consigliamo!!! 🤩
Ronnie è stato un host davvero unico ed ospitale! A partire dalla Apple pie e gelato offerta al nostro arrivo. La struttura è molto comoda per raggiungere molti punti d'interesse della zona. Ottimi anche i consigli per la cena!
The owner was very friendly. Clean and tidy place. Very good location.
Ronnie is an amazing host; so welcoming and friendly. Super comfortable bed with great linens. Such a nice welcome with hot apple pie and a welcome packet with snacks!
Felt welcoming,room nice size and clean , easy parking, quiet, location great , around a great place .
Notting.
Ronnie was very welcoming ,nice quiet place with a friendly host
A great and clean room. A special thank you to our host Ronnie, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and gave us fantastic tips for day trips in the area. His recommendations made our stay truly memorable. Highly recommended!
Ronnie was excellent host and is taking care of everything. Rooms are cosy, with comfy beds and good breakfast is served. We really enjoyed the stay there during our visit to Galway. Ronnie gave good hints and supports all the time.
We had an incredible stay with Ronnie! He was friendly, welcoming and attentive. He greeted us with apple pie and plenty of local recommendations, and even packed us a picnic lunch when we continued on our road trip. Everything is well set out, the room was clean and spacious. Excellent value for money. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Galway!
I really appreciated the cleanliness and comfort. The host has put a lot of thought into making us feel comfortable and have a good rest. The communication with the host from booking to checking in was outstanding. We were coming late and the host waited and was in touch with us during the whole time. That piece of pie before going to bed was not only delicious but heartening touch of care and thoughtfulness. Very grateful for a lift to the nearest bus stop! It was more than I expected.
The breakfast was a pleasant bonus. I didn't think we would have anything to eat there. However, I'd prefer to have a more nutritious food. I can't complain though. I'm grateful we had some food in a very welcoming and hospitable home.
Stunning property, the owner Ronnie went above and beyond to make sure our stay in both the property and Ireland where memorable, Ronnie’s recommendation for a day trip where perfect.
Ronnie was the perfect host. He greeted us with chilled bottles of water and apple pie & ice-cream upon arrival. A lovely help-yourself continental breakfast was provided and chilled bottles of water daily. Ronnie carried our cases to our room, and down again when we left. Beautiful and comfortable home. Very clean and welcoming. Ronnie could not be more helpful even providing a light packed lunch and giving us a map and very useful advice regarding our excursions. Thank you Ronnie, we 100% recommend and hope to be back.
I love staying in this beautiful house on my trips to Galway. Ronnie is an amazing host who does everything possible to make sure his guests have a great stay and visit to Galway. He has a huge knowledge of the whole region and is happy to share travel tips. The house is spotlessly clean with loads of parking in a great location on the western side of the city.
I can honestly say this place ticks all the boxes so no negatives to report.
The B and B is exceptional particularly due to the owner. Everything was customer focused unlike some others we experienced. The room was spacious and well set up. Good bathroom. The owner went out ofhis way to ensure our stay was the best it could be. Many pleasant surprises. Thoroughly recommend.
Nothing.
Ronnie's so helpful. Drove us into town and picked us up at bus.
You do have to drive everywhere but I chose that to be out of the city.
Ronnie went above and beyond to make this stay as seamless as possible! Such an incredible host who truly loves his home and knows all the best places to explore nearby!
Ronnie was amazing !!
Not only does Ronnie run an excellent B and B, he offers a spirit of hospitality that is rare and second to none. He could not do enough to ensure we had a great time and went above and beyond to assist in a personal issue of our own making.
Nothing
Great location, nice district and neighborhood Ronnie is a real superhost
Ronnie was an awesome host, very thoughtful and helpful. We were well taken care of and provided with unexpected extras which added to a wonderful stay. Our accommodation was lovely, clean and comfortable. Ronnie had great suggestions on places to visit and provided detailed directions. I highly recommend this B&B.
NA
Ronnie was possibly the most gracious host we have encountered anywhere. He met us at the door, offered warm apple pie as he chatted with us about our travel plans, made several great recommendations about the area, and generally tried his best to make our stay outstanding. He checked in with us several times before and during our stay and was very attentive. He put a lot of effort into small details to make you feel comfortable. Nice room and an outstanding host.
All the stars for Ronnie's incredible Stone Cottage! I had an incredible time here, loving it so much I stayed a third night. From the beginning Ronnie was warm and welcoming, sharing tips for exploring Galway and further north in Mayo. The best surprise was having a picnic bag for my first day exploring and warm apple pie when I came back! I would stay here again and again.
Very lovely guest house. Comfortable, cozy and clean. The host Ronnie is wonderful. He was super helpful in recommending us amazing places to have day trips to and see all the magical places in this region of Ireland! Galway is conveniently close but for us exploring the incredible scenery and villages to the west and north west were awesome! Thanks Ronnie for your great suggestions!
We had a great stay, no complaints!
The property is lovely, warm and comfortable. Our host, Ronnie, welcomed us with a slice of delicious home made apple pie and provided us with really useful information to support our travels around Galway. Ronnie very thoughtful throughout our stay and we highly recommend this accommodation.
Everything was perfect! Even better than what we had imagined, Ronnie was extremely helpfull and nice, and the room was extremely cozy, we couldn't have chosen a better place to sleep during 10 days !
Ronnie was the nicest host we could’ve asked for! He provided us with local knowledge as well as rides to and from the city center! The bed was so comfortable and everything was exceptionally clean!
Absolutely everything!! The cleannesses, the warmth, the smell, and the treatment from Ronnie was absolutely the best! The tv on the room.. all the channels you can ask for !! We will come back soon!!
