    Not sure if it's within 2 hours of Galway but Kilkee in Co. Clare is really really nice.

    Stay in Westport, Brilliant, Home away from home. Lovely town. Stay in the helm. They have apts or B&B's whichever you want. If there is a gang of you and you want to go self catering try this one www.tridentholidayhomes.ie/counties/mayo/westport
    Promise you I am not on commission just adore Westport. Enjoy!
    Castlebar would be the next but its a bit like Dublin!
