ACCOMMODATION
REVIEW
Perched on the shores of Galway Bay, overlooking its impressive
golf course, the Galway Bay Golf & Country Club is unrivalled
in terms of its scenic location, which has proved the inspiration
behind some of W.B. Yeats greatest poetry. Situated adjacent to
Galway Bay Sailing Club amongst miles of forest walks, the Galway
Bay is one of those hotels that combines peaceful seclusion with
modern amenities. With excellent guestrooms and panoramic views
over Galway Bay, this is an oasis of tranquility, surrounded by
the Atlantic Ocean on three sides.
The hotel lobby, with its blazing open fire,
offers the armchair golfer a grandstand view of the first fairway,
while the Didean Bar is the perfect place to soak up the lively
atmosphere and enjoy a pre-dinner or post-game drink. The AA Rosette
award-winning Gráinne Uaile Restaurant offers culinary
excellence in an intimate setting, while the Galway Bay Hotel
is also well known for the quality of its golf course, which is
peppered with historic remains and is a must for all keen golfers.
Galway Bay lies in the very heart of Connaught,
the land of the ancient kings and is within easy driving distance
of the Burren and Connemara, two of Ireland's most famous regions,
both of which must be explored. The city of Galway, with all its
attractions, shops and vibrant pub scene, is about 15 minutes
away, while other "must visits" in the area includes
the Galway Races, Galway Arts Festival and the Clarinbridge Oyster
Festival.
