I recently had the pleasure of staying at Arus Grattan, Grattan Road, Upper

Salthill, Galway. This is an ideal location for an individual or family vacation. The facility is beautiful, clean, safe and very well cared for.

The location is wonderful; right across the street from the Galway Bay with views that are breathtaking morning, afternoon and night. Salthill has a 4 mile Promenade that is great for exercise, meeting the very friendly neighbors and having a swim if the weather is right. The walk will take you to central Galway in 25 minutes with great restaurants, shops and historic sites. 5 Minutes in the opposite direct in takes you to the village of Salthill with many restaurants, some shops and even an interesting little casino.

Both Galway and Salthill have cultural events good for adults and families. Check out “Trad on the Prom” for Irish music and dancing (a ten minute walk). Regional tours and day trips will be easy by car and all of the local touring charters will pick you up in Salthill.

Sean and his team are friendly, professional and take the extra steps to make sure you feel welcome and oriented. I have already made a reservation to return. If you want a place on the Galway Bay – I strongly recommend the Arus Grattan Holiday Home.
