Weekend break: Location key for Galway's Harbour Hotel

Galway’s Harbour Hotel is ideally positioned just a few minutes walk to the city centre. Better still, it’s just had an extensive refurbishment, Susan O’Shea checks in.

We timed the journey badly. Very badly in fact. Kick-off in the Ireland V Wales Six Nations game was about to begin as we pulled out of our drive heading for Galway. This meant the only voices in the car for the entire trip were Michael Corcoran, detailing the action, and my better half roaring his advice as he frantically gripped the steering wheel.
