“Excellent accommodation in idyllic site, adjacent to Galway City but remote enough to be ‘socially distant’ in these unprecedented times.”

Lovely, hospitable hosts in Sally and Gerry who live in neighbouring house, provided an ample supply of freshly baked scones and tea, on our arrival. Their two ponies in adjoining fields were just as friendly, our 13 month granddaughter delighting in feeding And stroking them as often as she could. Great base for discovering the natural beauty of Connemara and treks, over our five day stay, across Galway Bay, into County Clare. Galway City itself is 25 minute drive with it’s fine array or eateries, shops and Latin Quarter, doing their best in the new ‘normal’. All in all a welcome break and priceless family time.

“Tigh Darby was just perfect.”

Sally and her husband were amazing hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The house was beautiful, spacious and extremely comfortable. The perfect spot in Galway. I highly recommend Tigh Darby and we are looking forward to our next visit!

“The house is in a very convenient location just 1 mile from Spiddal, where there are bars shops and a hotel with a very good restaurant.”

Galway and Salthill are easy to get to along a main route. Sally is a wonderful host, extremely friendly and helpful. We arrived to a basket of lovely fresh baked scones. The house was warm and comfortable and had a really well stocked kitchen with lots of pots, pans and dishes. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Mrs Jenkins August 2019

“The owners were so warm and welcoming.”

The scones that we had upon arrival were delicious! Definitely was a home away from home. Excellent area for exploring many of Ireland’s beautiful villages and landscapes. We would definitely stay at Tigh Darby again. Everyone in my party was so pleased with our accommodations! Thanks to Sally and Gerry for sharing their lovely home!

Moreover were the housekeepers very friendly and the landscape was beautiful. The key delivery went perfect without any misunderstandings and also the location of the cottage is fantastic.
Mr Edge April 2019

“Fantastic Holiday, made even better by the Cottage.”

The location was perfect for us and the amenities in the Cottage were better than being at home! We all enjoyed feeding the horses who were right next to the Cottage, as well as a daily visit by the Black Cat. The Cottage is very clean, and we were greeted on arrival by a lovely Lemon cake and Easter treats which were enjoyed by our little girl! Thankyou very much to Sally for brining in the washing when it looked like it was going to rain! It was also lovely to snuggle down of an evening in the main living room and watch the TV as a family with the fire on. I would highly recommend the Cottage for a large group/family, as the lay out of the rooms suited us all. We will certainly return.
Mr Power April 2019

“Stayed one week while working in Galway.”

SPIDDAL, COUNTY GALWAY

Furbogh 4 miles; Galway City 12 miles; Oranmore 16 miles.

The small seaside village of Spiddal, on the Irish Coast, overlooks Galway Bay and the Aran Islands, and is a very popular destination for visitors. With numerous restaurants and pubs, two beaches and a lovely coastal golf course it has something to suit all tastes. Located close to Shannagarraun Wood, a Special Area of Conservation, Spiddal provides lovely places to walk and explore. Try sea fishing off the pier, take a walk down Tra na mBan Blue Flag sandy beach or indulge in a round of golf at Rosshill Golf Course. Only 12 miles to the east lies Galway City, where you can discover some of Ireland's long and varied history; visit Lynch's Castle, or trace the origin of the famous Claddagh Ring, which originated in a village near the shore of Galway Bay. Why not take a day trip to the Aran Islands? Catch a ferry from Rosaveel, or, alternatively, charter a boat and take a leisurely journey to one of the three islands.
