WHY IT MATTERS

Why on-site accommodation suits a wedding in Galway

Connemara is remote and worth lingering in, so a venue with rooms lets guests stay out west for the weekend rather than driving back to the city at night. In Galway city, on-site accommodation keeps the famous nightlife and the beds a short stroll apart. Either way, staying over is the way to do it.

With Connemara's mountains and lakes, Galway Bay and a famously spirited city on the doorstep and Galway reached via the M6 from Dublin, with Galway city as the western gateway and Shannon and Ireland West airports nearby, staying over lets guests enjoy the setting properly. It is the difference between a day out and a weekend away, and it takes the stress out of travel for everyone.
