The hotel was lovely but it was a 30 minute drive outside of Galway. We wanted to enjoy the pubs and music of Galway but we're out in the middle of nowhere. The hotel features a upper Terrance patio however it was closed during our stay for a private function. The staff at the hotel were great and the food was very good. If we were looking to get away from the city I might have been a good choice. A cab ride to Galway was 50 euro.
The 4-Star Lough Rea Hotel & Spa is situated in the town of Loughrea, 20 minutes from Galway city. Conveniently located just off the N6, Dublin is 90 minutes away and Shannon airport is around a 45 minutes drive.
The hotel has great access to the major roads within the region, making it an excellent base from which to visit Galway, Ballinasloe, Tuam and Ennis.
With the hotel providing a comfortable and luxurious base, you can explore this beautiful area’s superb golfing facilities, great fishing and wonderful historic sights.
