Is there parking available for my daughter and our rental car
Thank you for contacting us. Parking is limited to 3 cars in our driveway. So I would expect parking available for your car.Answered on 9 April 2022Hi- is there a closed door policy for the b&b? We are going down for a concert in Galway and want to make sure if we come in late it’s allowed?
Hi there, YEs that is not a problem for us. You will have your own key to gain entry into our home. I would ask that you be respectful and quiet when returning as other guests would be sleeping.Answered on 16 February 2022Hi do you supply towels ?
YEs towels are provided in our bathrooms. Regards BridieAnswered on 7 September 2021
