Furthest Point West, hotel in Galway

Furthest Point West in Galway provides accommodations with a private beach area and a garden.

Laura and Tommy were amazing hosts and truly added so much to our Ireland experience! Their property is in one of the most beautiful (and remote) parts of Connemara and as others have reviewed, the photos from the listing don't begin to explain how gorgeous the area is. The room we stayed in (1st on the left) had one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in. We were able to hang out by the woodstove at night with Laura and Tommy (and their two cute AF doggies) and talk about everything from Ed Sheeran to sheep farming to the upcoming presidential election. It was so meaningful to be able to connect with such amazing folks and they couldn't have been more welcoming into their home. To top it off, Laura made us cinnamon rolls and cappuccinos for breakfast.

Traveled during January and of course it was cold but the heat would only turn on for a 3 hr peroid. After 3 hours you would have to turn it on again. Went to bed warm but woke up cold. Otherwise good stay

    We had a wedding in Connemara Coast Hotel booked this property for a group for two nights. Such a lovely property with beautiful views. Was a perfect location only 4 minutes from the hotel and right beside beach for a morning dip. Property was also immaculate.

    The location was a bit awkward but the bonus is I liked the peace, and the greenery outside the window, and the birdsong. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom nice. Mine was the KING room and was large, with bedside lockers and lamps. Michael the host was helpful. Bus to city okay, walking fine if no heavy bags. Salthill seaside nearby is a bonus too. I'd say it's quirky, and I like quirky. Luxurious it is not, but it was pleasant in its own odd way.

    Gorgeous beachfront property! This charming Irish home features a living room and a terrace with stunning ocean views. It's impeccably clean, warm, and inviting, providing a cozy and peaceful atmosphere. The host is incredibly attentive and cheerful, ensuring you have everything you need. We had a fantastic stay—we walked along the coast, enjoyed the fresh sea air, and relaxed completely.

    Quiet and clean room, located outside Galway city center but close to Salthill Seapoint Promenade and Blackrock Beach. City center can be easily reached by bus (bus stop a few steps next to the hotel) or by a nice footwalk along the seaside

    Well located in a quieter part of town, just a short walk to Salthill beach promenade (10-15mins) with all the usual amenities offered by a holiday seaside town. Free off-street parking plus free tea/coffee in main bar area. Rooms clean and functional but tired. Gerry and Joanna lovely hosts - keen to enhance everyone's stay.

    The location is super- right on the beach front. walking distance from Galway city. The room had double aspect views overlooking the beach. With our package we had wine and chocolates each day and bottled water. A lovely touch. Loved breakfast too.
