Corrib House Guest Accommodation - A restored 1830s Georgian townhouse with riverside views and boutique rooms at Galway's Salmon Weir

Located on the edge of the Salmon Weir, this 4-star Galway hotel occupies a heritage-listed Georgian townhouse from the 1830s. Corrib House Guest Accommodation features five individually decorated boutique rooms with king-sized beds, flat-screen cable TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Each room includes a private bathroom equipped with free toiletries and a hairdryer, while the Riverside Suite spans two levels with a separate living area. The property's tearoom serves freshly prepared breakfasts, lunches, and house-baked treats daily until 5pm, featuring locally sourced ingredients and Fixx coffee. River Corrib and Salmon Weir views are visible from most windows, with opportunities to spot local wildlife including herons and swans. The property stands three doors from the Galway Court House and Town Hall Theatre, with a five-minute walk to Galway's main shopping district and nightlife areas. Corrib House positions guests 0.5 miles from Galway's center and 21.5 miles from Connemara.
