A Connemara Gaeltacht village on the Galway coast, best known as the gateway to the Aran Islands by both ferry and small plane.
Indreabhán, known in English as Inverin, is a Gaeltacht village on the R336 coast road through south Connemara, around half an hour west of Galway city. It is Irish-speaking country, home to summer colleges such as Coláiste Lurgan, and the landscape here is classic Connemara: stone walls, small fields and a rocky, indented coastline running out towards the Atlantic.
For a B&B in Inverin, the draw is what sits on the doorstep rather than in the village itself. Rossaveal, a few kilometres along the coast, is the main year-round ferry port for the Aran Islands, and Inverin has its own small regional airport with short hop flights out to the islands too, so it works well as a quiet base the night before or after an Aran Islands trip.

Booking Tigh Chualain direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed guest house
Tigh Chualain holds a 3-star guest house 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.
