We had an incredible experience at the Mountain View Guest House! Patricia was extremely kind and accomodating. We arrived late asking to look ariund the area, and she actually drove us to the castle nearby to arrive there before closing. As well, we had an early morning tour and Patricia went out of her way to make us an early breakfast. She was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend her B&B to anyone.

Ideal stay for work

I had a fantastic stay - perfect for a business trip. Patricia made it feel like a home away from home with her hospitality and personal touches. The rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Patricia was also incredibly helpful with local tips, from restaurant recommendations to navigating Galway’s traffic. I highly recommend this guest house and will definitely stay again if I'm in the area!

Our host, Patricia welcomed us warmly on arrival. We were upgraded to a family room upstairs which was roomy for the two of us. The ensuite was spotless and the bed very comfortable. Patricia cooked us lovely hot breakfasts plus there were plenty of Continental Breakfast options available. We would definitely stay there again if in the area.

We had a lovely stay with Patricia. Great location about 35 mins out of Galway so you can have the best of a big city then retreat to a quiet room in the country. Full Irish breakfast available and fascinating castle and Celtic garden very close by. Had a fabulous meal in nearby Oughterard at Powers Thatch too. Would recommend if you want to be a bit out of town.

A lovely property to stay at. Great and friendly service. The local pub serves great food. Please be aware that it is not walking distance to the nearest village due to the lack of a footpath alongside the road.
