We were driving through Salthill and decided on this B and B due to free parking. From the minute I rang the bell Anna was absolutely delightful to my fiancée and I. Our room was lovely, free wifi and a very delightful conversation at breakfast. The breakfast was wonderful and Anna kept asking if I was still hungry (stuffed from... More

Just want to say thank you to the team at Tara House, I have stayed a few times and each time the experience gets better. I arrived with 3 friends and nothing was to much trouble. its a must stay place in Galway. It was a great help to get the information on the good local places to eat out.

We were two tired couples on motorcycles and were told of this place and so glad we searched it out. We were six days into our tour of ireland, now we are home i can say it is the best place we stayed in. The owners Michael and Anna were the most welcoming nicest people, nothing was too much trouble,... More

I’ve made three trips to Ireland over the past six years and I’ve begun and ended each at Tara House, in Lower Salthill, Galway, with Anna and Michael Doherty. I don’t go there for a room with a view (though the rooms are always fresh and clean and inviting and only a block from the sea), or for the amenities... More

I've always thought that the best part of visiting Ireland was what I call the B&B experience. More than just a bed for the night and a meal in the morning. But being made welcome and to feel that you were visiting old friends. And feeling reluctant to leave. So if you want that experience, this is certainly the place... More

In the Salthill area with bus stop outside. Not too far from town and within easy walking distance of pubs and eatieries of Salthill. We stayed in a spacious diouble room with good-sized ensuite. Anna, our hostess, was extremely helpful and friendly.

Tara House is about a twenty minute walk from the centre of Galway - easily manageable even after a couple of pints of the black stuff! It's also a five minute walk from the shops and restaurants of Salthill, which was very convenient after a long and tiring day being on holiday. According to Trip Advisor, Salthill's Lohan's and the... More

Tara House is located in Salthill area which is a popular waterside suburb on Galway Bay. This is a bit out of town but a bus pulls in right outside the front door. Anna greeted us and has a lovely personality being friendly, happy, jovial, extremely helpful looking up directions etc and she was quite happy to cook the hot... More

We showed up late on a Saturday evening and were desperate for a room. Anna the owner gave us a warm welcome and was full of local knowledge of the area. The room was very bright and spacious and all amenities, including free wifi which is always a bonus when you are traveling. We were really very comfortable and decided... More
