Corrib House Guest Accommodation – A Favorite for Families in Galway

Corrib House Guest Accommodation holds two major Irish travel awards: McKenna Guide's 100 Best Places to Stay on the Island of Ireland 2023 and Irish Independent's 50 Best Places to Stay 2022. The building is a restored Georgian townhouse located directly on the River Corrib, offering views of the salmon weir from most rooms. The guesthouse has only five rooms, each individually decorated to preserve the historic charm of the property.

Each of the five guestrooms offers a unique layout, including the Salmon Weir room with a direct view of the river and the Anglers Rest room with antique furnishings. Spacious en-suites come with traditional roll-top baths and separate showers, and some rooms feature split-level layouts with a sitting area on the ground floor. The property also provides a courtyard garden and outdoor seating for guests to enjoy the riverside setting.

Breakfast is made from scratch daily using locally sourced ingredients and includes a buffet with homemade scones, granola, and fresh fruit, plus à la carte options like full Irish breakfast and eggs Benedict on boxty. The on-site tearoom serves high-quality teas, snacks, and lunch dishes to the public, and guests can order coffee at the barista station. Evening access to the tearoom's scones and other baked goods is also provided for overnight guests.

The guesthouse is a 6-minute walk from Eyre Square and within a 7-minute walk of St. Nicholas Collegiate Church and the Spanish Arch. The National University of Galway is 600 metres away, and the Latin Quarter with its pubs and restaurants is a 5- to 10-minute stroll along the river walk. Street parking is available outside (max 2 hours during the day), with overnight parking at the Cathedral carpark a 2-minute walk away.

Security is provided through CCTV coverage throughout the property, and guests can use private check-in and check-out for flexibility. Daily housekeeping services are included, and the staff offers personalised recommendations for local restaurants and attractions. The property is non-smoking throughout, with a designated smoking area outside, and heating is available in all rooms.
