Overlooking the famous Salthill Promenade, Galway Bay and the Clare Hills, Just 12 minute walk from Galway city centre, Westwinds Guesthouse is set over-looking the best of the Wild Atlantic Way on the scenic route to Connemara and County Clare. With flat screen TVs in all rooms at Westwinds Guesthouse featuring free WiFi, and free tea and coffee. Rooms also include an en-suite bathroom with a hairdryer. Some rooms also enjoy beautiful sea views. Full Irish breakfasts and other options are served each day, in our breakfast dining room all made from locally sourced produce. My husband Mike and I own and run a catering company called Corrib Catering, so your Breakfast each morning is cooked to order by myself. Free parking is available directly outside the house, and our Guesthouse is located on Salthill’s coast road over looking the Sea and opposite the promenade
