Country farm house in Mayo, 3 bedrooms, sleeps 6
Great place to experience farm stay & local sight seeing

Amazing 3 bedroom house in City
Beautiful and comfy place with a lovely backyard. Maria was very helpful with her recommendations for restaurants and Galway market. Really short walk to groceries, and about a 30 minute walk to downtown.

Austin's Cottage, Ballyconneely
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Lovely views and so peaceful. House was perfect for us - clean and well equipped. The area is so beautiful, with great walks and beaches nearby. Excellent food at Sweet Nothings and at local pubs. Michael was extremely friendly and helpful. Hope to be back.

Wild Atlantic Bus at Aishling Cottage
We stayed as a family (two boys, ages 2 and 4) for three nights over the Easter holidays. I couldn’t recommend this enough-what a gorgeous experience for our fellas! They were delighted by the charm of the bus and loved taking turns in the driver seat. Richard couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful both in showing us around and recommending local spots. The campfire area was especially nice too. Not far from Galway and Wildlands Park; beautiful drives all around and a gorgeous walk by Lough Corrib. Huge thanks to Richard for hosting us-boys are already asking to go back. Many thanks!

Designer Luxury in the Woods
What a lovely home, nestled far away to get some peace but close enough to great restaurants and attractions. A lovely space for a group or family to enjoy time in the Irish countryside. Appreciated the welcome pack and website with recommendations and instructions. Great communication with our host throughout our stay, which made this a delightful experience.

200yr 4 Star Cottage on 450 acres
We absolutely LOVED this little cottage and everything around it! It is extremely peaceful and quiet. Surroundings are beautiful! Being able to walk all over the property on the trails and to visit the lake just made it even better. Everything was exactly as described. John is very responsive and even came by to show us how some things work and just for casual conversation, which was extremely nice! He gave us the history on the lands and recommended places to visit and eat. He was just so nice! We will definitely be back!

Finlough House, Delphi
Absolutely gorgeous house and grounds, like something from a postcard. Everything you could need was in the house. House is bright and spotlessly clean. Great location. Handy adventure centre in the hotel a five minute walk from the house. Margaret is a fantastic host who made sure we had a great trip. Thank you Margaret. The Mancunian girls will come again!

Restful retreat beside the lake
Great place to stay in a beautiful location with an excellent host.

Cosy Apartment/ Explore The Area/Enjoy our Pub
We had a super stay at Willie's place. The apartment was very stylish and comfy and had everything we needed including a great coffee machine. The pizzas (and pints) in the pub downstairs were delicious! Will definitely return in future.

The Old Forge
Our stay with Regina was wonderful it's a great little get away; nice, peaceful, relaxing and great views all around. Regina was the perfect host greeting us at the door making us feel very welcomed, giving us tips on what to do in the local area and leaving us some of her signature scones to enjoy. I would highly recommend staying with Regina.

Heights Chalet House
Beautiful view from inside the unit. A lot of care taken for the comfort of guests and small touches well appreciated. Perfect location to explore Galway and Connemara!

Carraroe apartment
A great place, local to all we required. Lovely clean beds, bathroom etc.

The Red Glen Lodge - The Burren
We had such a lovely stay at Shirley’s lodge! The cottage was absolutely charming—cozy, clean, and full of character. The views were breathtaking and made our time in Ireland feel even more magical. Shirley was the sweetest host, and the fresh bread she made for us was such a thoughtful (and delicious!) touch. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a peaceful and authentic Irish countryside experience. Thank you, Shirley!

Riverside Marina Apartments (Apt 2)
Hanleys Marina is a beautiful location which is ideal for exploring both Longford and Roscommon. The apartment was very comfortable and clean, and had everything you would need. The host was very helpful and responsive! I would definitely recommend.

Clonbur House - One bedroom apartment
Three nights is this lovely village. Comfortable bed and well equipped kitchen with easy parking right outside the apartment. Cheers to friendly John Burkes pub with live music 7pm each night and good food too! Enjoyed hiking woodlands to Guinness tower and Ashford castle in Cong.

Cummer Cottage Joyce Country Escape
Nora’s cottage is a one of the most beautiful, peaceful and lovely places I’ve ever visited. Sitting around her kitchen table with my family is a memory I’ll never forget. Peace and beauty. She thought of absolutely everything to make one feel welcome, cozy and comfortable.

Bundorragha Cottage in Delphi, Connemara
We had most amazing days at the cottage. The location is stunning with great access to the pier and activities. The cottage the spacious and has everything one needs including for a family like us. Would definitely come again and highly recommend! Thanks Deirdre !

"Cuach Cottage" reg 2025.
Liam’s place is an absolute gem. It is a beautiful and comfortable cottage in private and quiet surroundings with breathtaking views. Liam was kind, welcoming and extremely accommodating. I hope to have the opportunity to stay here again. Thank you Liam!

CONNEMARA LAKE SIDE COTTAGE
Oh my goodness this place!!!! Absolutely stunning location, peaceful and private yet handy for a great choice of restaurants in Clifden. The cottage itself is just totally beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable and the views are unreal. We’ve never spent so much time wanting to look out of windows!! The deer and the ponies were a bonus. Mary was great at communication. All in all my favourite Airbnb. Thank you so much for letting us experience this fabulous property in a magical area.

Cottage 431 - Oughterard
The landlords were always friendly, helpful and quick to reach. Fantastic setting directly at the lake. The furnishings are functional, the furnishings of the kitchen leave nothing to be desired. We felt right at home. I highly recommend it!

Galway Period Coach House
What a charming place! We loved staying here.

Joyce's Cottage
The photos do not do this location justice. It’s magical and a perfect place to relax. The house is super comfortable, clean and warm. Great host too!

Knockbroughaun Restored Stone Farm Cottage
Pat has given us the warmest welcome we have ever got at an airbnb. He is just a terrific host. The cottage is lovely, spacious and well-equipped. Great to have 2 bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal. We loved the fire in the dining room and living room and enjoyed playing boardgames with the fire on, on a rainy day. Pat's dog, Lily and the neighbour dog, Hunter are both a delight. Connemara is a beautiful part of Ireland with beautiful scenery and wonderfully warm people. A week is not enough to see everything. We managed to get to the national park, Clifden, Roundstone and its beaches, Lennaun, the Killary fjord and the famine walk, as well as nearby Loch Corrib and the castle. Some of these destinations are about 1 hour away but you drive through beautiful scenery. Galway is only half an hour away and is a buzzing, vibrant city. All in all, we had a great time and would like to come back.
