Maire MacDermott goes far beyond being proprietor of a terrific B&B. She goes all out to care for her guests in every way possible. The lodge itself is an historic property with very special features, including a rear "sunroom" that is ideal for breakfast. Maire prepares a breakfast almost beyond description, with her own homemade granola, jam and items prepared... More

We stayed at the Nile Lodge for a few days in November. It was such a delightful stay we didnt want to leave! The house is truly picturesque and full of history.

Let me start by saying I never write reviews. However, I felt this gorgeous B &B and its witty, hard-working, delightful owner deserved a thank you for making our recent stay in Galway so wonderful. Maire made every part of our trip fantastic, starting with an over-the-top breakfast (homemade granola, yogurt, fresh fruit, juice, tea, coffee, eggs bacon, grilled veggies,... More

Loved this place! The rooms, furnishings and grounds are beautiful. The breakfast was delicious and more than enough. But... the best part was our host and owner (Maire). She could not be more accommodating to our group. She handled our every need (local directions, directions to next stop, dinner reservations, taxi reservations, luggage storage.....). Could not recommend enough.

My partner and I couldn't have asked for a better hostess or accommodations. We weren't worthy of the breakfast (homemade granola, fresh squeezed orange juice, free range eggs cooked to order, on and on). Spacious room and great atmosphere.

We just returned from a weekend stay at this lodge. While the lodge itself has such history, the owner, Maire MacDermott, was warm, gracious and just lovely. She made our stay so much more than a regular B&B. The location was perfect for myself, husband and 10 month old daughter - central to Galway city center but not so close... More

Thank you very much for taking the time to send your lovely review in to trip advisor. I appreciate it particularly because life is so hectic with a little one. I also appreciated the lack of fuss that you and your wife made about things that are not perfect when you are staying away from home with a little one.... More

I stayed there in July. The lodge is in a quiet location between Salthill and the city centre. I was with my partner and we were very well welcomed. We were upgraded to a beautiful room, with extra king bed and antique furniture. Very nice linen and many towels. Breakfast - 4 course, very delicious, organic, many choices, with a... More
