Always Enjoy the Irish Cottage

We always enjoy our time at this relaxing hotel in Galena. It has rooms to play cards, read or just relax and the deck is great to enjoy the nature in back of the hotel. Add to that a walking path behind the hotel and you have a great setting for a getaway.

Was hoping for a traditional Irish breakfast since it’s an All Irish themed hotel. That was disappointing and the breakfast offered was not very good either unfortunately but it’s still a great place and very convenient for Galena. Would definitely stay again

Food at Frank o Dowd’s was so good. Room was so clean and the ambiance of the whole hotel is so charming and welcoming. The Library was so charming and a nice quiet place to just relax and read a bit. Breakfast put out every day was nice and hot and tasted great with nice options. Even the hiking trail was relaxing. The room was charming with a sofa area and small table and super comfortable bed. Can’t wait to come back here again.

It was awesome!

We’ve never stayed in a hotel that was this cultural and antique-ish! We loved it and we were in awe the second we walked in. I’d 100% recommend staying here if you’re visiting the Galena area!
