The Orchard - Refurbed Studio w views of Clew Bay

MarianneRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Patricia was a very friendly and helpful hostess. The studio is tastefully decorated. The beds were very good. Patricia had given us a lot of useful tips for excursions and restaurants in Westport. We found good restaurants there and one of the best Irish pubs.

The Studio On The Square

AntoineRating, 5 stars5 days ago
The weather was bad, and our host warned us that the accommodation was free an hour earlier. A big thank you to him for this follow-up and the welcome. The studio is peaceful, very close to restaurants and shops. The town of Clifden is close (30 minutes by car) to many tourist attractions. The discovery of Connemara while staying in Clifden was very pleasant.

The Amazing Panoramic Penthouse- Free Parking-

LauraRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Really great spot - an easy walk to the Latin Quarter, the Westend, and the boarding location for ferries to the Aran Islands. The apartment is beautiful- clean, stylishly decorated, with great views of the water. Getting in involves a bit of a scavenger hunt and a series of codes, but Martin sent excellent instructions that made it easy. Highly recommend!

Spectacular apartment in Clifden Seaview Connemara

DanRating, 5 stars1 day ago
A box of chocolates and bottle of Baileys greeted us upon arrival at the exceptionally clean and well appointed apartment. Spacious kitchen, living room and stone walled patio made our 2 couple stay delightful. The view of Clifden Bay was serene and private. Lounging on the patio in the Irish sun with a cold Guinness made it hard to leave at times! SuperValu grocery, deli, bakery and wine, beer and spirits a 2 minute walk away. And downtown with a wide selection of shops, pubs and restaurants only 3 walkable minutes nearby as well. Great location to visit Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park, Sky Roadand the charming coastal village of Roundstone. Host, Liz, endlessly attentive and available. So fortunate to have such a caring soul as part of our visit! 5+ 🌟 s

Furbo Suite, at the Granary Suites

NickiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
From beginning to end our 3 days in Furbo suite was amazing. Irene was very accommodating when we had to move our check in to later. The suite, including the kitchen, was fully appointed and very clean. Very walkable to every part of city. Laundry was a huge plus as we were half way through a 2 week trip and needed it. Irene was absolutely amazing and spot on with her recommendations. In fact when she found out our next stop, she provided recommendations for a few restaurants and hikes! Only caution I would say is for those with limited mobility. The stairs going up to the kitchen/living room area are original and narrow. I thought it was charming but I know it might be harder for some. Also, no on-site parking but the lot is only a 3 minute walk. I do suggest carefully pulling into the alley to drop off luggage before parking. If ever in Gallway again, we will be back. Highly recommend.

Loved staying here for a family wedding. Great location near everything but a couple of blocks away from the crowds. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. I had one question about check in (due to my careless reading of the check-in information and she was immediately available. Highly recommend!

Spiddal, near Galway. On the Wild Atlantic Way.

JaneRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We greatly enjoyed our stay here. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, yet surrounded by so many great places and things to do. The house was cozy and very unique. Sheila and Redmond are fantastic hosts. They cared very much about us having a great experience and provided support and a wealth of knowledge on the area. This was the perfect place to call home for our few days in County Galway. We hope we can make it back one day!!

Cong Holiday Let

Gary & VikkiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were 3 adult couples touring Ireland. The place is lovely with the river running next to the house. Hugh was there to meet us with instructions and recommendations and Anne had left us some homemade brown bread . It’s only a couple of minutes walking distance from the picturesque Cong village with lovely pubs and music on Thursdays to Sundays. Some lovely walks as well. Overall a great find and would defiantly stay again if in the area. The film The Quiet Man with John Wayne was filmed in Cong in 1951 so worth a watch before you go or you can watch on the DVD provided at the house.

Relax in our tranquil seaside village haven

ColleenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Geraldine's beautiful seaside retreat and can't say enough positive things about her helpfulness throughout the week. The house is in a quaint location, great for exploring the southwest country. We enjoyed coffee each morning in the sunroom with a beautiful ocean view that couldn't even be ruined by the wild wind and rain. We struggled with operating some areas of the house (showers, thermostat), but Geraldine was right there to respond immediately and help us figure it all out. Please note this is not due to issues with the home, but us being American and unfamiliar. If you stay here to see the Cliffs of Moher, I would strongly encourage that you go south to the Kilkee Cliffs and Bridges of Ross. We found them even more mesmerizing and far less touristy.

Red Island House, on the shore of Lough Mask

SilkeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
A fantastic location with views in every direction, each very special and therefore never boring. A good starting point for several (hiking) tours. Get tips on this, too. Sun (if you shine) from morning to evening at or in the house. We have already decided after a few days that we want to come back next year. To relax and unwind one of the best accommodations I know. And don't worry about the driveway, is really absolutely doable and does not require a special car or a special driver.

Exclusive Luxury Seafront 2 Bedroom Apartment

JuliaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Lovely spot in Salthill! Everything was clean & bright, parking was excellent, & the space was very well-appointed. We have the following thoughts as a couple traveling with a young child: - VERY helpful to have the dedicated parking! - It was really a treat to have such nice amenities throughout the unit, from big items such as the washer/dryer to nice touches like an ice tray (we Americans definitely appreciated that!). - The view and location really can't be beat. Such a treat to watch the ocean and promenade from the balcony, and we were able to walk to dinner/to get groceries easily. - Note that the unit has fireproof doors throughout which are quite heavy and were a struggle for our child. Two doorstops were provided, which helped, but I mention just in case it's helpful. - The security provided at the building level was inconsistent; the gate and front door were sometimes locked and sometimes not, with no rhyme or reason. - Overall, we were very pleased & would stay again!

Harbour Mill Westport apartment.

MichaelRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a very enjoyable stay at Catherine's apartment, which was very comfortable, nicely laid out, very well equipped and very spacious. It's located on the top floor, at the rear of the building, which makes it very quiet and peaceful. Another positive is the fact that there is a parking space in the building as on-street parking outside always seemed to be full. It's in a great location, with bars, restaurants etc., in walking distance and there's even a convenience store nearby. We also found the location to be very convenient for access to the various attractions of the area. Overall, we were very pleased to have found this property and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

No 4 The Mill Apartments

JulieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Super location, great hosts and the cleaner, Sally was also helpful and friendly. The listing omits the fact that there are two shower rooms with toilets, so the facilities are better than you would expect. We were staying for a wedding at The Lodge at Ashford Castle. The location is great for that and you can see where you were staying on the wedding pictures.

Atlantic Retreat Luxury Apartment 2 - Burren views

MakenzieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb. The location was beautiful, it was incredibly spacious! It was spotlessly clean and the host was very helpful, and really took time to think of all the little details to make the stay comfortable. I would just say to be aware that others are renting the main house below you. You have your own door to lock so it’s not uncomfortable, but you do enter the same front door as them. And if you want to use the laundry you need to walk around back and enter the house from the back ; so it is possible that the other family is outside or can see you from the dining area. It didn’t bother us , but the other family staying there wasn’t aware we would be there, so just thought it worth mentioning. But we loved the stay!
