About the place
Where
On Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way in the pier village of Kinvara, the Merriman Hotel sits on the south shores of Galway Bay. Steps from photo-famous Dunguaire Castle and a short drive to the Burren, it’s about 30 km from central Galway—perfect for coastal exploring and easy day trips.
Details
This 32-bedroom, thatched-roof hotel blends traditional Irish charm with simple coastal style. Rooms feature en-suite bathrooms with shower/tub combos and deep soaking tubs, desks, tea/coffee makers, TV and complimentary toiletries. The house vibe includes live traditional music most weekends, a bespoke locked drying room for cyclists and motorbikes, and a massage room for downtime.
Amenities
Expect free on-site parking, complimentary wireless internet, a bar/lounge and a dedicated whiskey bar pouring premium—and house—Turlough Whiskey. The hotel offers tour and ticket assistance, wedding services, room service (limited hours), and outdoor parking. Small sensory note: you can wake up to sea-breeze mornings on the bay.
