Family-friendly vacation rentals in Aran Islands

Catherine’s accommodation is extremely homely and in beautiful surroundings. Not too close to the town but not too far either. Catherine is very friendly and welcoming and attentive to her guests. We enjoyed our stay from start to finish, we even stayed an extra night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grattan Holiday Apartments, car parking out the back, spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen and within walking distance to the beach, local pubs and restaurants. It's about a 20 minute walk into Galway city and taxi back is around €10. Highly recommend a stay here. Sean and Cathal are on hand if you need them and will recommend places to visit and eat

Our family loved the cottage. The views and sunsets were just beautiful. It is 2 minutes from Cliffs if Moher and about 8 minutfrom Doolin. It was a nice touch to have breakfast foods for the first morning. The hot tub was an added bonus. We had a great dinner at Russell Seafood and listened to music at McDermotts.

This was our second stay at Mark’s Eden Retreat Cottage. We stayed there last year and loved it so much we came again this year. The size was perfect for a small group of friends on a combined business and leisure trip. We love the spacious kitchen and especially the little fireplace. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and just a short trip into town for supplied, pubs, busses, shopping, etc. Last year we used the hottub but this year it was out of service. Mark notified us in advance of this and compensated us for the inconvenience, which I appreciated very much.. Mark is a great communicator! Will stay again. Thank you!

A beautiful building lovingly restored in a great location if you like walks, beautiful countryside while still being near to towns and villages for a nice meal out. John was so helpful and friendly, it just started our break off on the right foot. Ps bring carrots for the donkeys in the paddock next door, the stars of the show

Absolutely gorgeous! My family and I were overwhelmed by the beauty of this location, and by the house itself. We would definitely come back here again and recommend staying here!

Location, Location, Location!!! Michelle's place was immaculately clean and had wonderful amenities and decor. You are close to everything at this location and it really made our experience enjoyable. Michelle was super communicative and responsive to questions. We loved our stay here and would recommend it to anyone.

Location was out of this world. We were very lucky with the weather too. It was one to remember.

My favorite Airbnb on our Ireland trip! Our stay at Pat Mors Cottage was the perfect peaceful retreat in the countryside. The cottage is full of charm, cozy, and beautifully maintained, with stunning views right outside the door. William was a great host! We arrived pretty late but check-in was extremely easy and William even stopped by the next morning to make sure everything went smoothly for us. We loved getting visits from our neighbors (the sheep and cows 😊) and enjoyed taking the small hike up the hill in the backyard for an amazing view of the surrounding lakes and mountains. We can’t wait to return—this place is a true gem!

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.

The house and gardens are lovely; house was very clean and comfortable. Having a shelf in the showers would be handy for shampoos, soap, etc. The road signs in this general area are written only in Irish (most road signs around Ireland that we saw were written in Irish & English). I think adding that to general info would be helpful.

Eibhlín and her husband were amazing hosts and couldn’t have done more for us. The location is stunning, couldn’t have been better value for money. We had the best time and we definitely will be back!

what a wonderful place to stay. Very comfortable, we had everything we needed. Gwen was really helpful with everything. We would recommend to anyone needing a beautiful place to stay

Loved it and would stay there again. We liked the promenade and activities outside. View was amazing from balcony. Great parking. Local stores and restaurants around the corner. Easy to walk to nightlife and get cabs.

Jackie’s cottage was so clean and she thought about so many details to make our stay comfortable and convenient! Thank you so much for sharing your special family place with us.🙂

beautiful house, a bit noisy at night with people coming back to their houses, but that can't be helped. good location, a nice walk to the he village.

Nuala was a wonderful host. She met us at the property and showed us around which was great. She thought of every detail. There were hair dryers, curling irons and flat irons in each bedroom. This was perfect since we were traveling from the US for a wedding. Plenty of room for 6 adults, each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook complete meals. She had a basket of scones and brown bread upon our arrival as well as fresh eggs, butter and milk. The area is very quiet but beautiful. Great for walking although you will need a car to get to any of the towns. I enjoyed Sam the Boxer pup, who joined me for a few walks. He is very friendly and it was nice to have his company. Thank you Nuala for your hospitality!! We had a wonderful stay in Doonbeg!!!

Carola was great in all the communication. The house was perfect for our family with 5 children of different ages. Toys and books and enough spaces for each to chill. Lovely outside space and inside all available that you may need. Would certainly come back

Had a lovely stay, the grounds of the place were gorgeous and we really enjoyed taking in all the scenery. Karen was an attentive host and we had no problems checking in early and getting to the place.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Geraldines place. Her place was spacious, spotless and in a great location. I would highly recommend staying here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very homey and comfy. So many basic provisions were there and we were able to settle in easily. The washing machine, the dishwasher and the dryer were a great asset. The view was fantastic and we were super lucky to get really great weather- but Theresa’s house and location would be enjoyable at any time, Thank you Theresa! I will certainly look for availability the next time I need accommodation in the area.

Best Airbnb experience yet. The fact that you can walk down a beautiful path to the beach was the cherry on top. The house is pristine and was a perfect kitchen to cook a big meal at the end of our trip. Thanks again we will be back!
