Claim this listingStaying in Clarinbridge
A south Galway village on the shore of Galway Bay, famous nationwide as the home of the Clarenbridge Oyster Festival and the oyster beds that supply it.
Clarinbridge is a small village a short drive south of Galway city, sitting where the Clarin River meets Dunbulcan Bay on the southern side of Galway Bay. The bay’s sheltered mix of fresh and salt water has made this stretch of coast one of Ireland’s best-known oyster-growing areas for generations.
For a B&B in Clarinbridge, that reputation is the main appeal: local oysters feature on menus around the village, and the Clarenbridge Oyster Festival, held every September since 1954 and billed as the world’s longest-running oyster festival, draws visitors from well beyond Galway for a weekend of food, music and the traditional oyster-opening competition.
The village is also a convenient, quieter alternative to staying in Galway city itself, with Galway a short drive north and the Burren and Kinvara within easy reach to the south.
Things to do near Springlawn
Clarenbridge Oyster Festival
Held every September since 1954, this is the world’s longest-running oyster festival, with a marquee on the banks of the Clarin River, live music and the well-known oyster-opening competition.
The oyster beds
The oyster beds west of the village at Dunbulcan Bay have been cultivated for generations, and the local oysters served in pubs and restaurants around Clarinbridge are part of the reason the area is known nationally.
Dunguaire Castle
A sixteenth-century tower house on the shore of Galway Bay near Kinvara, a short drive south of Clarinbridge via Kilcolgan, and one of the most photographed castles on this stretch of coast.
Getting to Clarinbridge
Clarinbridge is just off the N18, about 15 minutes south of Galway city, making it a straightforward base for exploring both the city and south Galway. Galway city’s bus and rail services and Galway’s own airport connections are close by, and the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher are under an hour further south.
Booking Springlawn direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Springlawn holds a 3-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
