Kinvara B&Bs and Guesthouses

Kinvara, lying east of Galway City, is an atmospheric little quayside village containing several pubs and restaurants, and some excellent bed and breakfasts.

Kinvara is the gateway to the world-famous Burren in County Clare with its unique karst-landscape; its profusion of Arctic, Alpine and Mediterranean plants; and its numerous historic and archaeological sites.

Dunguaire Castle, an early 16th century tower house restored  by Shannon Heritage, dominates the picture-postcard view.

Kinvara Bay is also part of a bird sanctuary.

Kinvara’s heritage walk focuses on the town’s principal places of interest.

Kinvara hosts two of the most popular festivals in the region:  “The Gathering of the Boats” (August) and “The Cuckoo Festival” (a traditional Irish music festival in April/May).

Kinvara is the ideal location when you want to shed the pressures of 21st century life for the easy-going pleasures of former times.

Book a bed and breakfast in Kinvara and slip into that summer afternoon dimension of hazy dreams, casual strolls and engaging conversation.
