Can anyone recommend a Bed and Breakfast / Hotel for Race Week in Galway
 
In case you haven't been before, Galway is very busy during race week with most places booked out months in advance. (Some I believe are permanently booked out, with standing reservations from year to year).

Tried it and its also booked up
 
Go to [broken link removed] and do a search for accommodation Galway.

When the list of accommodation is shown, start at bottom (very important, most start at the top thus nothing available) and ring every single one of them until you find a vacancy!!

I do this every year 2 weeks before the races when I eventually decide to go!!! Usually takes about 20 or 30 phone calls but you'll find something.

Funny, I thought the results form Ireland.ie were random as there's no obvious ordering. However just tried the same search twice & it came up the same both times, so worth going with the bottom/middle of the list strategy.(Sorry for going slightly off topic)
 
I thought it should be easier in Galway now with so many new hotels. Are they just too expensive ?

Foxylady, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay in Crookhaven.....it's owned by a friend of mine !

Now I understand why I don't even have spare floor space during race week. Every couch & blow up mattress is put to good use with all the relations !
