High end Stay
The place is setup around a golf course very close to Gallway downtown. It has an older vibe. We had to book two rooms and really not "family" oriented. You are better off staying in town with young kids. A lot to spend on a overnight stay. The Pullman restaurant is a nice experience. It is expensive so be prepared. The staff were all incredibly attentive and had fun drinks. The food was more about art deco. The yards are pretty. Parking was easy. The staff was great.

This is a large property on a good of course a few miles out of town. It’s beautiful and quiet with large rooms and very attractive public spaces. Additionally the staff are friendly, outgoing, helpful and cannot do enough to make your visit comfortable. Dinner at the Pullman Restaurant - in train cars from the Orient Express was special and expensive but worth the splurge. The only negative was being charged 7 Euros for a bottle of tap water on top of many hundreds of euros for dinner.

Perfect Stay
Wonderful stay at Glenlo Abbey! The grounds and hotel are beautiful. We were upgraded to a one bedroom Lodge room. Access to the living room, kitchen and laundry were a bonus. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff here are wonderful, friendly, informative and attentive. The Palmer restaurant is very nice and the food delicious. A ride into the city center of Galway was about ten minutes. We couldn’t have had a better stay.
