Spent the weekend in Galway doing some sightseeing and this B&B was a perfect base of operations. It is a few bus stops from the city center but extremely easy and quick to go back and forth (there is parking for a couple of cars as well). My room was immaculate and very comfortable as was the rest of the house. The bathroom (en suite) was sparkling and did not feel cramped. Breakfast was plentiful and varied: yogurt, cereal, fruit, and coffee were available for us to help ourselves and then the owner cooked the hot items of our choice (eggs, sausage, puddings, etc.). As others have said, the owner of this B&B, Rita, is a real gem: welcoming, helpful, and generous. Her interest in giving people good experiences is clearly genuine, and it shows in the quality of the stay as well as when talking to her one-on-one.

Welcoming & comfortable stay

I stayed here in November 2017 as my husband was a patient in Galway Clinic.  This B&B is a short bus ride (about 3 or 4 stops) from the clinic.  

We both went to the B&B prior to going on to the clinic and even though my husband wasn't staying there, Rita the owner brought a tray with tea and coffee and biscuits to the room whilst I unpacked.  After this she actually ran us to the clinic!  Needless to say we were both amazed and very grateful for this act of kindness.

I stayed for four nights and am very glad I happened upon Moytura B&B.  The bed is super comfortable with a mattress that is about 6" deep - I slept like a very comfortable baby!  Snow white bedding (which I love) and very good pillows (4 on a double bed).  There is a bedside light for each bedside table and an electric alarm/radio.  The room has a small flat screen TV located on the wall in front of the bed where you can actually see it from the bed (something else that doesn't happen in some B&Bs and hotels!).  

My room had a wardrobe with plenty of good hangers and a chest with lots of drawer space.

My bedroom was at the front of the house and there is a busy road outside but it didn't bother me and I wasn't once awakened by noise (and I am used to sleeping in a quiet area at home), but maybe it would bother some so you could ask for a room at the back of the house if you thought it would bother you.

The en suite is a little bigger than some you will find in a B&B and was well stocked with good quality pure white towels, soap, shampoo/shower gel, cotton buds, loo roll etc.  The en suite is, as is the bedroom, sparkling clean.

Downstairs there is a spacious, comfortable living room which has a TV and is very well stocked with reading material from books to magazines.

Breakfast in the morning is served between 8 and 10 am and is served in a dining room with a separate table for each bedroom.  You can help yourself to cereal, yogurt etc.  Rita is very accommodating regarding breakfast and was happy to make me scrambled egg without milk and butter as requested and each day my eggs were cooked perfectly and she uses good quality eggs so they were tasty too.  She served my scrambled eggs with roasted cherry tomatoes which were delicious.  You can help yourself to freshly made coffee from the machine which was great for a coffee addict like me.

Outside there is parking for about 3 cars and is off road and on the property.

Regarding location, Moytura is directly across the road from GMIT.  The bus stop (Skerritt Roundabout/GMIT stop) is just around the corner and both the local buses and the National Express buses stop there.  Across the road from the B&B there is a taxi rank or Rita will telephone a taxi for you if needed.  And for Supermacs addicts like me, there is a Supermacs about 10 minutes walk away.  

Galway city is about 4 km from Moytura and so an easy walk or a short bus ride.  Oranmore and Galway Bay is a few minutes drive away.

I can't recommend Rita and her B&B highly enough.  She went way beyond what was expected and made me so welcome in her comfortable home.  And on my first night one of the guests was a man who stays there once a month and my final night had a lady who is there every 3 weeks or so so obviously people return time and again, as will we when next in Galway.  In fact I was so impressed I recommended this B&B at the clinic, to taxi drivers and to friends at home.  It really is that good!

EXCELLENT!

Rita, the owner, is a lovely welcoming lady.

She brought us a tea tray to our room while we were settling in. There was even low fat milk at breakfast after I mentioned that I couldn't take full fat.

The room was great and the towels were so fluffy.

Only wee thing lacking was a kettle in the room.

Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for B&B in Galway.

Another find

Really happy with our stay, booked 2 rooms for 2 nights.. Stayed with my elderly parents. Beds comfortable. Free fast WIFI. The highlight of our stay as other reviewers have said was the hospitality shown by Rita, such a lovely lady. On arrival she brought up a pot of tea and biscuits up to my parents room, which I thought was a great touch. Great cooked breakfast. She was good at giving advice on tourist things to do and recommended a great place for dinner, Park House hotel. You won't be disappointed.

Definitely recommend

We visited during a very quiet period and the owner even offered if we wanted a second room free of charge since no one else was staying there. She was so lovely helpful and made us feel right at home. She gave us directions and advice for the town centre. In the morning, she looked after us so well for breakfast. The room was lovely and the bed was very warm and comfortable. Wifi and parking was good as well. Highly recommend this b&b, it was a great one night!
