Walk to Salthill Promenade, where you can have a coastal walk before going to one of the bars for a drink - it only takes 20 minutes from the hotel.

The hotel is perfect for both solo travellers and couples alike, or anyone who likes to be beside the seaside. Having breakfast in the conservatory-style room looking out the large windows to the green garden starts the day off well.
Nothing was ever too much trouble and we felt very welcomed. Staff were more than happy to advise on where to go for dinner, as well as recommend the best pubs to go for live Irish folk music.

As it is a B&B, only breakfast is served, but staff are happy to recommend local restaurants. The breakfast spread was fulsome, including cereals, homemade bread, fresh croissants, muffins and cake, with decent marmalade and jams, juices and a choice of cooked options. The spiced fried baby potatoes with smoked ham and onion was tasty, and not much beats good homemade bread - so that went down a treat.
Breakfast room: conservatory-style dining room, serving continental options as well as a traditional Irish breakfast and other cooked options. Served daily.
