The Light House

Overlooking the ocean, The Light House offers beautiful sea views and a convenient city-centre location, a 3-minute walk from Galway train and bus stations. It is very well-placed for all Galway city has to offer, and you can relax watch the sun rise and set over Galway Bay.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.
