Glenarde House

This was a lovely large room in a stately home tucked away from the lively Salt Hill seaside promenade. Unfortunately we hit rush hour traffic as we approached. inching through the busy Salt Hill city center. We arrived during a rare heat wave. Like most accommodations in Ireland, there were was no AC or fans and no television. There was not a tea kettle in the room, but the house offered use of a large communal kitchen where some guests apparently cooked dinner (based on cleaned dishes drying next to the sink). The owner left out tea bags, milk and wafer cookies and there was a lovely patio outside. It was about a half hour walk into Salt Hill and a drive into Galway city center. We met the owner who graciously advised us where to get a coffee with a view of the ocean, not to mention generously sending a print of my ancestor's house I foolishly left behind. There is also a cafe in a hotel a few minutes walking distance from the site. If you are looking for a quiet, tranquil place to rest and relax on your trip to Ireland this should be at the top of the list.

We had everything we needed for our stay. Our host was very nice and gave us many tips for our trip.

The room was clean, access was easy, I liked that they had a communal fridge and kitchen available. I did not meet any staff. But we saw a cute fox by the window in the kitchen nook 😁

Good quiet place ! Super calm well located
