We chose Irish Cottage as an after Holiday couples vaca. The spa was wonderful, we enjoyed eating at the pub and our room was cozy, the only thing that could have made our visiy better is a newer mattress. I spoke with staff at checkout and they ensured me new mattresses are being purchased in phases. I recommend the Irish Cottage.
We enjoyed everything about the Irish Cottage
The room was clean and bed was very comfortable
The staff was nice and helpful especially Johnny the shuttle driver and our bartender at Frank O’Dowbs, the breakfast was awesome as well
We will be back in the spring to try the spa and revisit the town
Everything was as expected. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.

The Irish Cottage was a very nice place to relax. Our room was very nice and clean. They read in the main area, library, and had a nice cup of tea. Loved how close it was to downtown. Breakfast was also very good! Would definite stay here again!
Charming suite and hotel. Cozy places to sit in lobby, and delicious breakfast in an Irish-style pub. Bed and couch in room were a bit too firm, but otherwise everything was great for our overnight in the quaint town of Galena.
