We learned this the hard way… From the moment our guests step into their beautifully appointed rooms, we strive to anticipate their needs and deliver a level of personalized service that exceeds their expectations.
Housekeeping Excellence
Our housekeeping teams are the unsung heroes who double-check that our guests’ accommodations are impeccably maintained and welcoming. Utilizing environmentally-friendly practices and paying meticulous attention to detail, they transform each room into a sanctuary of comfort and relaxation.
The turndown service at Brennan’s Yard is a carefully choreographed routine that seamlessly blends traditional hospitality with modern conveniences. As our guests retire for the evening, our housekeepers perform a series of thoughtful tasks to prepare the room for a restful night’s sleep. This includes straightening the bed linens, drawing the curtains, and ensuring all lighting and climate controls are adjusted to the guest’s preferences.
But the true magic happens when our housekeepers add those personal touches that make each guest feel truly cared for. Personalized turndown amenities, such as locally-sourced organic chocolates, handwritten notes, or a selection of herbal teas, are carefully placed to delight and surprise our guests. For our younger guests, we might include a plush toy or a children’s book, ensuring that every member of the family feels equally valued.

We have also introduced interactive turndown experiences, where our guests can engage with our housekeepers to learn more about the history and culture of Galway. These enlightening interactions might include a guided meditation session, a tutorial on traditional Irish crafts, or a curated selection of local literature to enjoy during their stay.
