The first two nights of our two week vacation in Ireland were spent at the Devondell. This was our first experience staying at B&Bs, and we now understand why travelers rave about B&Bs. The Devondell was a little difficult to locate, even though we had a GPS and the coordinates (we drove by it three times before realizing it, probably... More

Travelled around the country for 2 1/2 weeks, this was my favorite B&B for many reasons. Berna is such a sweet character that truly cares about her guest enjoying their stay. Ready with tips, info and directions; managing to make everyone feel they're the only ones. Excellent breakfast; I enjoyed a place with other guests at the big, beautifully decked... More

Stayed in a variety of lodgings during recent week in ireland, and this was by far the best. Very quiet, spotless, comfortable place in Salthill section of Galway. Berna is a terrific host, very helpful with recommendations, great sense of humor, very caring and accommodating, and serves a wonderful breakfast (the best we had anywhere in Ireland -- made the...

Berna is a treasure and the Devondell is such a wonderful place to stay. The Breakfast is so good, great coffee, homemade bread, fresh squeezed juice and fresh fruit and then cook to order a hot breakfast. Keeps you going through your day of visiting the great places that Berna recommends. We also went to the amazing italian restaurant close... More

My wife and stayed with Berna in her well maintained home last month. She was most helpful in many ways. Her Breakfast was one for the books. Plenty to eat and excellent. When we first arrived, she gave us an option of what we wanted for the main course and was told us the balance would be on her table.... More

Devondell may be a bit tricky to find (but what isn't with Irish roads driven by an American), but it's worth the trip. Located near the end of a cul-de-sac, it provided our family with a welcome respite as Berna makes you quickly feel right at home. We can echo other reviewers is saying the breakfast spread which includes associated... More

What a treat. Yes the rooms were wonderful and yes the position is excellent however it is Berna herself who is the real find here. Within minutes of meeting her we were all in fits of laughter and felt like we had known her for years. The breakfast will stay in my memory for a long time, homemade cakes and... More

We loved our time in Galway and staying at Devondell was a big part of this. Berna welcomed us when we arrived early, made up the fire and served tea and scones. Devondell is an easy 15-20 minute walk to downtown.The breakfasts were wonderful, homemade and creative. The room was clean, comfortable and homey. Berna makes you feel like she... More

This is a delightful place to stay right outside of the heart of Galway. It is quiet and clean and Berna is the most wonderful hostess to her guests. She is always there to give you a helping hand and provide you with whatever you need. The bus into Galway center is steps from her house but this neighborhood is... More
