Unfortunately we weren't over impressed with this B & B. The room was small with hardly any hanging space for clothes. The ensuite was a joke - it was put into what could only be explained as a wardrobe. Hardly any room in the shower and the sink was tiny. The bed was comfortable, but because the room has dormer...

Nice B&B in a great location for seeing Galway. Maureen is an excellent hostess who made us feel very welcome and was very helpful. The Dormers is nicely furnished. Our room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was very good. We would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting the Galway area.

We enjoyed our stay at the B&B and can't brag enough about the breakfasts! Now that I'm home, I'm really missing those scones! This location was very handy because it was a five -minute walk to the nearest grocery and ATM. Our hostess also helped arrange for a tour bus to pick us up right outside the B&B for the... More

The room was very nice decorated and clean. The beds were really comfortable and the bathroom was clean. Maureen is an awful nice person and very thoughtful. And the breakfast was the best we had during our time in Irland! The guesthousse is situated close to the beach and in walking distance (10 min.) to the town. We hope to... More

We stayed two nights at the Dormers over St. Patricks Day weekend. Maureen, the hostess, could not have been nicer. Our room and bathroom were clean. The down comforter was nice to have since the weather was so chilly. The only issue I had was the water pressure for the shower wasn't very good. Otherwise, i'm glad we stayed there... More

Maureen is a sweet Hostess. Our room was cozy and clean. Very good Irish breakfast and porridge. Helpful when we needed to find a place to have laundry done.

The finest thing of our stay here was the great kindness of Maureen, the owner of the B&B. The B&B position is very great, it is near Salthill beaches, with wonderful views of the sunset on Galway Bay, and not so far to the city centre. Our room was very fine and bright with tea and coffea facility to start... More

We spent three nights at the Dormers in Salthill. We were initially worried about being outside of Galway proper, but this worked out perfectly. We were no more than a 12-minute walk from Galway (with free parking) and were also able to explore Salthill a bit. Breakfasts were fabulous and the room was spotless.
