The Boat Inn is an incredible spot to stay in while visiting Oughterard or Galway. The rooms are so clean and well maintained. The check-in is really easy. I would highly recommend staying here. Plus it is in the middle of everything so you have plenty of food options and if you like nightlife it’s perfect.

This place was amazing and so glad we took a chance with no posted reviews. I will say the only down side is the two twin beds were not separated when looking at pictures provided.
