The Sea Breeze is a beautiful and well run place. Fred, the owner, greets you with warmth and it feels like you’ve are a long awaited guest when you walk through the door. There were so many special things waiting for you when you arrive; a glass of wine, fresh fruit, snacks, even fresh cut roses in your room. All of it was done in a professional and caring way. Then there is the rooms themselves. Comfy bed with beautiful linens, a beautiful bathroom with high end finishing a, even a towel warmer! We were on the top floor and our skylights even opened to enjoy the fresh air! If I ever return to Galway I would not hesitate to stay at the Sea Breeze again.

Immaculate and convenient!!
The Seabreeze Lodge is immaculate! The owner couldn’t have been more accommodating! The breakfast was excellent with homemade pastries and hot food to order. The location on Salthill was convenient to Galway Bay and the city. We highly recommend!

We had a lovely experience at the Sea Breeze Lodge! Excellent hospitality. We enjoyed the extra touches to our room including fresh fruit and flowers, snacks and complimentary water and soft drinks. Very clean and well maintained. Breakfasts were also fantastic. We would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Galway overnight!

If you’re looking for a place where the personal preferences and schedule of the innkeeper take priority over your holiday, this is the place for you. The property communicated that check-in was from 4 to 7, and that to check in later would cost an additional 60 euros. However, we were travelling from the south with plans to spend a little time in Killarney National Park, as well as a stop at the Cliffs of Moher. We just could not make the deadline without altering our plans. He left our key taped to the front door. When we went downstairs the next morning for breakfast, we were greeted by our disgruntled innkeeper. He confronted us, actually. In the hearing of some of the other guests. Rather than welcoming us to his B&B, he said, “Well, it’s the Late Arrivers,” as though that were our name. Then, “I sent you an email 7 days ago letting you know to arrive before 7 pm.” Then he paused, waiting for an explanation. We stood there in stunned silence for about 3 seconds not knowing what to even say. He then gave us body language that said he was waiting for an answer. I told him “We couldn’t make it” and then moved past him. We literally felt scolded by this man as though we were school-aged children that needed to be corrected. How this inhospitable man made his way into the hospitality industry is a mystery. We are both 60 now, so we’ve done quite a bit of travelling through the years. But this rude experience puts this place in the bottom 5 worst experiences of all time.

This is a spacious, well appointed, beautifully maintained guest house with all the comforts of home. The gracious, accommodating host has thought of everything. Our room was sparkling clean, beds were comfy, bath was luxuriously new and spacious, all with a lovely water view our large windows. 10/10!

Amazing B+B in Galway
This is our second stay at Sea Breeze and it was just as wonderful as our first visit. Fred and his staff are very kind and welcoming. The rooms are spotless, well organized and maintained. For breakfast you have a great selection of fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt, cheeses, granola then several hot items to select from. The orange juice is freshly squeezed. The breakfast area is very nice as you see out to the backyard where there are so many plants, trees and shrubs which makes it very easy to relax. Thanks Fred for your hospitality and if we are back in Galway again we will most definitely book our stay at your home!

Our stay at SeaBreeze was met with perfection from beginning to end. Fred is an exceptional host who showed us to our well provisioned room with fresh fruit, cheese, nuts etc… and insured we had everything necessary for our stay. The room had view a beautiful view of the coastline and sunset. Breakfast in the morning was exceptionally tasty, varied and presented beautifully, served in the sunroom while soft music played in the background. The cheery staff started the day off brilliantly. A truly nice experience all the way.

I don't have much experience with B & Bs specifically but our stay at the Sea-Breeze surpassed any expectations I may have had. We were greeted at the door by our host Fred who immediately made us feel welcome in his "home." He offered us complimentary beverages (displayed nicely in the beautifully decorated seating area) then showed us to our rooms. The rooms were gorgeous, clean and spacious. Fresh fruit, nuts, candy & flowers on the counter top with crackers & cheese & water in the fridge. Again, all complimentary. Beds were extremely comfortable & breakfast was delicious! Presented so beautifully in the sunroom. And, on our last day, when we had to leave early to catch a flight, Fred and his staff accommodated us by preparing an early meal. Such a lovely ending to our fabulous trip to Ireland. I highly recommend the Sea-Breeze Lodge - true Irish hospitality with a French flair

Galway hospitality at its finest
BEST B&B experience!! Fred and Michelle were wonderful hosts. Room 6 was gorgeous--the views of the bay, skylights and details, details, details. The bed/pillows/linens/towels were luxurious. The little fridge filled with treats, binoculars to watch birds, and spa bathroom (speakers in the ceiling for music), we slept so well and woke to a delicious breakfast. Lots of fresh fruit and best coffee! We loved this place and wished we could have stayed longer. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

We loved our stay at Seabreeze Lodge. Fred was friendly and informative, the breakfasts delicious, the views amazing, and it was so wonderful to be a little out of the frenzy of the Galway Festival. We recommend this B&B wholeheartedly. We travel a lot and are used to luxury and this was perfect.

Only great things to say about the Sea-Breeze Lodge. Upon your arrival onto the property you are greated by some amzing coast line views. Just an apatizer for truly wonderful accomodations. Michelle and Fred welcomed my wife and I into their home with energy and warm smiles. Really personable and genuily cared about making us feel comfortable. We were fortunate enought to stay in the Garden Suite on top floor. You dont really get a scope for how large th property is until you walk up stairs and are open the door to your room. Generous floor plan with smartly designed bathroom. The nuts, flowers, drinks, biscuits, cheese, fruits were perfect. The king sized bed was quite comfortable with top quality sheets. Breakfast in the morning was amazing as Chef Fred prepares amazing dishes. The omlets were made to order, and if you feel daring ask for Fred's Seasoning. Check out was snap, and make sure to sign guest book, classy tough. All of that said, the true treasure of the B&B is Michelle and Fred, they are what made Sea-Breaze and Galway for that matter most memorable for us. Thank you, and hope we cross paths soon!!

This place is one of the best we stayed in. We thought we were going to a nice but simple B&B, but this is just a luxurious, incredibly cozy and warm home (5 star hotel). Fred and the staff here are super nice, very welcoming and accommodating (we were even offered a discounted room upgrade and got this amazing room with a bay view) and Fred is the perfect host with great storytelling. The best way to explain this place is to compare it to visiting a nice family home with all the most advanced amenities; our room had an amazing bathroom with a great shower and bathtub, interactive Tv, music sound system, electronic-automatic trash cans and so on. In addition the decoration and obvious attention to detail of this place makes you feel super cozy and comfortable. Location is very nice, not far from Galway (15min walking distance to Salthill, 25-30 to Galway- 5min by car) and it has very nice views of the quiet and peaceful bay. If we come back to Ireland we will be staying here again. Oh, and the breakfast is very good (menu a la carte and buffet) in a beautiful bright, French window, garden looking living room. Great stay.
