A 25-minute drive from Galway City, this 19th-century cottage has a garden and terrace, and provides free Wi-Fi and parking.

How to get here

Thanks for your booking - Caroline at the Thatched cottage BnB here to confirm your reservation.

A top tip to locate the BNB is to download the app WAZE and input the Eircode H91DK8W and it will bring you straight to the b n b, otherwise follow the below directions.

If you have not done so pls confirm your check in time, noting check is from 3.30-10pm unless an earlier time as been previously agreed.

Directions:

Travelling from Galway the easiest way and the way that I strongly suggest you follow to the b n b is to travel north on N83 to Claregalway. DO NOT TRAVEL ON THE MOTORWAY M17 as we are off the old road. From Claregalway continue north on to Lydons Knockdoe (do not turn left nor right off this road (GPS will attempt to turn u off) and you will reach Lydons Pub Knockdoe ~ 5km). From Knockdoe continue straight on N83 for 2km further taking the first left by CURRANDRUM national school, the house is just under 2km on the right.

Mauvaise organisation pour les pe***** déjeuners qui ne pouvaient être servi qu'à partir de 9h30... Compte tenu de la route que nous avions à effectuer nous ne les avons donc pas eu. Dommage car ils étaient inclus ds le tarif qui lui n'a pas été modifié... Grosse confusion au départ qui a dû nous faire revenir sur place après 20 minutes de voiture.

Host's Reply:
Delphine Breakfast is NOT badly organised, it is the exact same as any other place, first come first booked in , you didn't arrive until 10pm but expected breakfast at 8 o clock, it does not work like that nor does it work like that in any other bnb house/ hotel/ restaurant either It is not up to me to give you discounts that;s up to bnb Ireland The confusion on departure was because you took another customer belongings Your review is totally unjustified as far as I would be concerned all the best

Chambre et salle de bain froides, petit déjeuner irlandais à prévoir en supplément aussi non continental, ce qui est dommage pour un B&B irlandais. La mère de notre hôte nous a bien accueillie.

This place had no rating by B&B Ireland and there is a reason for this. Very unprofessionally run. Previous review commented about host arguing and we were met with this on check in (wife hollering at husband to close doors and him hollering back). The day before we checked in we received an email saying she couldn't take any guests until 7:30 pm even though stated check in starts at 3:30 pm. Rooms have no locks on the doors. On a positive note bed was very comfortable. The cooking and cleanliness of kitchen could use some improvement. I had am omelet on our first morning and there was lots of liquid in my plate. Definitely would not stay there again. We stayed at four B&B's while in Ireland and this one was far below the level of the others.

Host's Reply:
Thank you for your review Mike and Sue. I was surprised to read your review regarding your stay with us. I apologise for the late check in which was due to a family commitment, but I am glad you enjoyed the dinner recommendation which we gave you. I am happy you found the beds very comfortable, and if you had mentioned your dissatisfaction with the breakfast you received, I could certainly have provided you with an alternative. As you will see from our reviews from previous guests we are often complimented for our delicious breakfasts with guests rating them as a good as 5 star hotel . I hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday in Ireland. Caroline.
