House holiday rentals in Portlaoise

Loved our stay - the house, surroundings, sauna and the friendly hosts!

Cannot fault this stay- I'd recommend it to anyone! We had the most gorgeous two night stay at the Deerstone & it was the perfect getaway to switch off and get away from the hustle and bustle. The decor is incredible; you can tell everything has been carefully curated & thought of with the nature surroundings. LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I'd go back in a heartbeat. Lastly, the owners are such friendly, accommodating and pleasant people; you can tell they're so passionate about what they do.

amazing place and host could not do more for us. on last day drove some of the group to there booking for a tour then dropped our luggage off at airport for us so we didn't have to carry around all day. ABOVE AND BEYOND hosting

we had a function in the hotel so location was excellent. accomodation brilliant. as described very cosy and very private

Comfortable and comfortable home, perfect cleaning. It has three bedrooms, plus another for a child and 2 very large bathrooms on the upper floor, 2 living room, large kitchen, and laundry room with small bathroom on the lower floor, plus a large outdoor garden. We have used the appliances present, washing machine, dryer, dishwashers, oven, fully functioning and modern. The property is located in a quiet and elegant area of Dublin, with buses you can reach the center in 20 minutes, nearby there is an excellent supermarket and a shopping center reachable by bus in 5/7 minutes. Nearby is the bus stop for the airport.

We had a beautiful holiday here in the coach house of Kilmokea Country Manor. The coach house is fantastic, full of character and the bedrooms are large and airy with views of peacocks from the windows. The setting is quiet and peaceful and the wild and bountiful gardens are just magnificent to wander through in awe. There is a great tennis court and beautiful swimming pool framed with French Doors and ample changing areas. Emma and Mark were absolutely superb hosts. They are warm, friendly, accommodating and a pleasure to meet around the place. My only tiny note is that I would have liked a list of extra charges in advance - just so I had more awareness of costs I was incurring as I went along. The jacuzzi is extra, as is the sauna, and there is a daily charge for utilities. I am sure this is all in the provided info knowing these careful hosts but I somehow missed these details. Anyway nothing could possibly detract from what is an absolute hidden paradise. Book immediately !!

As two couples traveling together, we enjoyed a wonderful 3 night stay in Aoife Mary's gorgeous, very spacious and comfortable home. We took day trips to Kilkenny, Cashal and Waterford. We loved spending one day not driving, but enjoying the beautiful and extensive surroundings of Mount Juliet Estates. Afternoon Tea was a highlight at the Lady Helen Restaurant. The staff of the Estate were very gracious and friendly.

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at the Gables cottage, Natalie was extremely helpful and responsive with any questions we had about our stay. Lovely cottage, great enclosed big garden for the dogs to run around and a bbq which was ideal. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing stay in this gorgeous little cottage Neil

Great place, has everything you need. The hosts were really responsive and helpful and made sure we had plenty of stuff for our baby whilst we were there i.e travel cot and high chair. We would definitely consider coming back!

Pat was so kind and his place is beautiful! It’s was within perfect walking distance to the Greenfields festival that we went to this weekend! It was wonderful being able to walk around the town as well with the Blue Barroway right around the corner! He was also very helpful in offering tips on how to drive around Ireland in the next leg of our journey. Whenever I find myself in Athy again I’ll be back!

Absolutely great stay all the way around. The building itself is very quiet, cozy and comfortable. Everything worked as it should. Water was hot, bed was comfortable, wifi was strong, and the countryside view from the windows was phenomenal. Kitchen was well stocked, and made our 10 day stay very easy, as we had the choice to cook in as well as going out. As great as the place is, Amaya, the host, went above and beyond. She was very responsive to any questions I had, from specifics in the unit, to suggestions about how best to utilize the public transport and car parks. Amaya's responsiveness, clarity and assistance made our stay even better than it would have already been with the accommodations alone. I would highly recommend Amaya's listing to my closest friends and family.

An absolute gem of a location. Loads of room,incredibly comfortable and all the amenities that you could want. It's also just a short 5 minute drive to Portarlington, but we decided there was little need to leave the house, as it was so relaxing. Margaret is a wonderful host and really made sure that we all felt at home, and we loved our (far too short!) stay. You simply can't go wrong with this place!

This was the first time me and my family has went out of the country together. All of us felt right at home walking into the house. Everyone enjoyed the space in the house and being located almost in the middle of Ireland made it convenient to travel to most sites we wanted to visit. Sandra was the most gracious host. She had extra touches in the house for my family which made it special to our visit. She was easy to get in touch with and this made our over all experience great. Next time I visit, I will definitely stay here!

I can’t recommend this place highly enough, we lived our time here. Bernie is a fantastic host and has clearly gone above and beyond to furnish every part of the bungalow to the highest standard. You will be very hard pushed to find a better place to stay.

I absolutely loved my stay at the lodge. It really is the most gorgeous place and is surrounded by woodland to one side and rolling hills to the other. I needed somewhere to escape to for a relaxing weekend away and this couldn’t have been more perfect - it’s so cosy, comfortable and the attention to detail is just wonderful - it felt like home (a very beautifully styled version of home) and I didn’t want to leave. The gardens are lovely too - lots of different spots to relax and enjoy the sunshine and the sound of the birds and the river. Ken was a lovely host - he organised some food and drink for me for when I arrived so that I didn’t have to worry about shopping. He shared recommendations of things to do and checked in with me during my stay to make sure all was ok. I really did feel thoroughly spoilt!

Ioan and Roxanna are gracious and accommodating hosts. They were informative, gave us great recommendations and made us feel very comfortable. Our stay was peaceful, safe and relaxing. Highly recommended!

Perfect place to relax and bring your pet with you. Really peaceful and lots of green around. Our puppy absolutely loved running around and playing with Buddy - the owner’s dog. The cottage is really well equiped and we felt like home. Really close to Glendalough what was a plus for us. But staying in by the fireplace was special too. Next time we go we will be prepared for a barbecue outside the cottage too, there’s a lovely space you can do that. Orlaith was so kind and fast in responding when needed. She even left us a homemade bread and some eggs, which where absolutely delicious. 10/10

Great house, very spacious with large kitchen and utility fully kitted out. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms spotless . Fran was extremely helpful with helping us get a taxi from nearby Kilkea castle where we were attending a wedding. He actually went over and above any expectations when he offered to come himself and pick us up if there was a problem! Nowhere was within walking distance so a car is essential. Nearby Athy is a nice little town with plenty of bars, eateries and shopping . Would highly recommend, thanks.

It was a nice staying in Sarah’s spacious, beautifully decorated apartment. Everything was as described and shown on the pictures. The apartment was ideal to explore different surroundings as it‘s close to both nature and little villages.

Myself and 5 friends had a great couple of nights at Brendan's house. He provided clear instructions and was a great host. It's approximately a 25 minute walk into town where there are plenty of places to eat and drink.

Wonderful location. Had a fabulous few days. Carmel has thought of everything - we shall be back!

We had an amazing stay at Ethel’s home. Peaceful location but only a short drive from many amenities. The house was pristine, spacious and has everything you would need. Ethel was a great host and regularly checked to see if we needed anything. The personal touches were much appreciated also. Would recommend staying here if you want to feel right at home from the minute you enter.

One of the best places to stay. Arthur was very welcoming and informative and always responsive to queries. The place was spotless and very modern and close to activities and sightseeing.
