Owner run B&B, adjacent to Galway City and Salthill. All rooms en Suite, prices start from €40 p.p.s.

pm me for phone no.

No offence but I don't know how you can describe yourself as adjacent to Galway City if you're also adjacent to Salthill. That's pretty much like saying Lucan is adjacent to Dublin City.

Where are you, Fr Griffin Rd or what?

CSON, my son your 'caravan travels' have quiet obviously, not frequently at least it woulsd seem, taken you to Galway city or indeed Salthill. If you must know, once you leave the city at the end of Fr Griffin Road 9The Crescent/Lower Salthill) then you immediately enter Salthill. So to answer your rather impertinent question, yes you can be adjacent to both. To compare Sheilas description of her location as similar to Lucan/Dublin (Lucan is 15km from Dublin city centre and is in County Dublin, not city) is being a bit smart. Therefore Sheila would in my opinion, be better off without your particular type of 'attituded' custom! Try somewhere else to park that caravan!

Hi guys, a friend of mine has a house right beside the University (Newcastle), 10 mins walk from town. Buses & taxi rank right outside the front door. He has 7 bedrooms and I know the house is still available (but not for long). Hes looking for a group of between 6 and 10. That would be cheap for the week as he charges between €1500 and €2000 for the whole week. Hel'l cut a deal if theres less of you or if your only staying a few nights. Tel:0879667344.

Hi all, I have a place to rent for race week and the week after. It's a two bed apartment in Central Salthill which is pretty close to the City Centre (a lot closer than Lucan is to Dublin anyway!). I'm looking for about a grand a week, so let me know if there is any interest. Thanks.

Relax, I was only asking for clarification to be honest. Salthill is a pretty big place and even if you were on the Fr Griffin Rd it's still a nice bit into the City centre. The Lucan example is a bit of an exaggeration but all the same if someone had staye don the basis of it being close to the city would they be happy to find out they're a 20-25min walk from Eyre Square?

Its the same as saying you're adjacent to Inchicore and Dublin City Centre when your B&B is in Kilmainham.

Anyway I'm still on the look out for a bed/couch/floor and this argument isn't helping matters

Is it just yourself? Or are you looking for a group? Also how much are you willing to spend?

For definite I know that myself and the guy I'm living with will be staying Wed & Thurs night. There's possibly another 6-8 more mates of mine going those days too but I'm not 100% sure about them yet. Seeing as the last 2 times I've gone to the races I've been more than happy to kip on the couch/floor/kitchen sink I really only want to pay the minimum - something like €50-60 per room [or couch!] per night.

It's more in hope than expectation; I imagine we'll be packing the tent this time next week! :pac:

Stench Blossoms

I a have 1 bed apartment I can rent to you. Bed sleeps two. Then the couch would sleep one. But I'd want to know before exactly how many people are staying before I agree to anything.

Marklark

Anybody know if there would be any central apartments or houses available at a reasonable rate? Would probably just be for the Wednesday and Thursday nights. 4 or 5 of us considering going down but don't want to stay out of town and not paying any extorionate rates!

If you're coming back to the hotel late at night they will probably have security on, checking names against their room list to prevent loads of people staying in one room, I've seen them doing it at several hotels, and not just during race week. If you're back before the bar closes though ye should be fine...
