We stayed 2 nights, our room was lovely, clean and spacious. Frank and Joan were wonderful hosts, helpful with our questions, warm and welcoming. Breakfast was fantastic, best we had anywhere on our Ireland trip. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends.
One of the best B&B’s that we have ever experienced, and at a reasonable price. The rooms are beautifully decorated and meticulously maintained. The location is a short walk to the center of Galway. The breakfast menu was as good as you would find at a good restaurant and the food preparation was excellent! Highly recommend the Petra House B&B!
It has been many years since I last stayed here and I was hoping the standard would still be high. I needed have worried. Bright, modern room, excellent facilities and lovely breakfast with a huge choice. I won’t leave it as long the next time to spend a night in Galway city and return to Petra House.
