SeaBreeze is a wonderful B&B and I highly recommend. It is just minutes from Galway in Salt Hill. The house is lovely with views of the bay. They provide delightful snacks, fruit and bottled water in the room. The place is spotless. Breakfast in the glass enclosed sunroom, surrounded by their garden. makes it very special experience. And the food is amazing. Best French Toast ever!!! And I can't say enough wonderful things about Fred who owns the B&B with his wife. He is a warm and caring person, always willing to assist and shares great tips on places to visit and eat. You truly feel welcomed in their home. And we loved talking with him about all different topics. And the grand finale was when he played the baby grand piano for us shortly before we finished our visit. …

We travel and traveled a lot around the world - as business and privat. We are used to stay in upper class hotels and during holidays also in higher B & B. The Sea-Breeze Lodge is surely one of the best or the best B & B we have ever been. The management tries successful to fulfill the customers wishes. The room is newly furnished, very clean and has everything you need or above which is not usual in a B & B. It is the little extra, which makes the difference. From the window of your room you can get a direct and nice view to the sea - if you get a sea view room. There is a car parking für guests in front of the house. The breakfast is done fresh and extra for every guest and is better than in all hotels we visited before during our stay in Irland. When I will come back to Ireland, I will stay longer time in this unique lodge to enjoy this beautiful lodge and place with it s warmhearted and friendly owners.…

That is high praise indeed, especially coming from someone who travels as extensively as you do!

We strive to create a comfortable and memorable stay for our guests, and it's incredibly rewarding to know that we've achieved this during your visit. Your compliments about the 'little extras' are especially touching. It's those details that we believe make Sea-Breeze Lodge a special place, and it's wonderful to hear that they made a difference to your stay. As the owner of Sea-Breeze Lodge, I also wanted to personally tell you how much I enjoyed meeting both of you.

My wife and I stayed here and had a fantastic time. Everything in the bed and breakfast was perfect. The hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in the door. The room was spacious and best of all was stocked with delicious snacks. Our favorite moment was just spending some time with Fred, just chatting about anything and everything. You cannot go wrong staying here.

Absolutely lucked out booking myself and my girlfriend into this amazing B&B. Run by Fred and Michelle, they really make you feel welcome, and can't help you enough. These traits are continued in the standards of the lodging itself, the rooms, the food - all very high quality (and usb charging ports in the plug sockets, finally!) Can't recommend this place enough, hope to return in the future.

Best B&B I’ve ever stayed in. Impeccably clean. Delicious food. Very comfortable room and bed plus lots of “extras”. Great hosts who work hard to make sure your stay is perfect. My only regret is that we didn’t book longer than two nights!

Everything about this place is nothing short of spectacular. This place is in a charming little area called Salt Hill. When we first arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Fred, the owner. He began by showing us around and telling us about his establishment and how and when things operated, to include features of our room. It's very obvious that Fred has significant knowledge and experience in the hospitality industry because no detail was too small and he made sure our comfort was his highest priority. Our room was one of the very top rooms with spectacular views overlooking Galway Bay and the Irish Sea. Later that evening, we met his lovely wife, Michelle and had a nice chat with both of them. In the morning, we were treated to another of Fred's many talents, his ability to cook at an extraordinary level. The options for both hot and cold breakfast were nearly overwhelming. I had the bacon and eggs the first morning and the potatoes and bacon the second. Fred has created his own blend of spices that he uses on his potatoes and it comes highly recommended. There are also a few tours available that can be booked through Fred. We were hoping to see the "real" Ireland and Fred was able to recommend the Connemara tour. Be advised, you're going to need cash when you book it through him, but it is a little cheaper than with the tour company. It obviously wasn't a problem with us. Needless to say, Fred's recommendation lived up to the hype. My wife fell in love with the village of Cong and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing Kylemore Castle/Abby and the greater Connemara National Park. After three days of staying with Fred and Michelle, we had to say goodbye. I've stayed at a few B&Bs over the years and you can generally expect exceptional service, but Fred and Michelle took it to a new level and set a bar so high that they may be the only ones that can surpass it. I can't recommend Sea Breeze Lodge more and next time we're in Ireland, we'll be seeing our old friends again.…
