Vacation rentals with lake access in County Roscommon

Lovely house in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Andrew was super helpful and very quick to respond to any questions. The house was so private and tranquil, really good space to get away from it all. Would highly recommend.

Everyone’s stay is for a different reason - my family brought our mothers ashes back to her home town. The last thing we needed was added stress - but it really was like a home from home and David kept in contact the whole time . This made a very stressful time easy . We could not get over how comfortable all the beds were & how lovely the house was . Words cannot express our gratitude for the whole experience at a difficult time. We are already planning our next trip & will be going back to Shannonside & David’s warm welcome . A real expert at what he does .

Excellent hosts therefore we had a wonderful stay at Driney House and hope to return. 😀 All the kids were so happy they could all bunk in together in the room with all the beds, like a proper sleepover, telling ghost stories with a torch. 👻 We stayed for three days and happily never left the grounds. It was so relaxing to take in the view while the kids had plenty of activities to keep them entertained, out in the fresh air getting plenty of exercise. They would have even slept on the trampoline!😀 The pool was a great hit, there is no deep end as such so it was great for the kids, and great to play volleyball. There were life vests available for use in a range of sizes for those that couldn’t swim. From the first contact the hosts were amazing, they were so helpful with a great generosity of spirit. A lovely family with a very special guest house. It’s like an activity centre with the most amazing views on the lake…..but the bonus is you have it all to yourself! 😀

The premise of our trip to Ireland this time, was to show our kids the beauty of the island and the area I grew up in , while also getting away from it all. We arrived to Knockvicar house after a week on the Wild Atlantic Way and it was an absolute pleasure from the first moment. The house is spacious and comfortable and so interesting. The gardens and surrounding area are just beautiful. Morning coffee @ the outdoor table was a real treat. It’s in a great location near to Carrick-on-Shannon, Boyle, Lough Key forest park and also the alpaca farm, of course. Restaurants and bars nearby. Our only regret is that we didn’t book for longer. Angela was the perfect hostess, helpful and informative and thoughtful. There is plenty of touristic information supplied at the house also. We had a wonderful stay.

LOVED BEECH COTTAGE. John and Rose were very welcoming nothing was a bother. The cottage is in the most peaceful and beautiful location right on the banks of the Shannon. Everything has been thought of and catered for. Comfortable beds cosy home and 2 bathrooms. The children loved it here feeding the pony and donkey and just able to run round outside. Lucky John and Rose's dog is very friendly and very cute so is Tom the cat. Watching the fox in the field coming to be fed is amazing. Carrick needed but close drive to all amenities. We cannot wait to go back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Liam is a great host. When I couldn't find his cottage, he came to meet me as I am not good at direction. Thank you so much for letting us stay at his place. Very beautiful and peaceful place to stay.

Conor's house is just awesome. Loved staying there from the cosy sitting/TV room, to the bright open kitchen/dining areas and the wonderful bedrooms. The beds we used were super comfortable and the linen was high quality and felt so nice. Conor is an amazing host who is very kind. Not only did he meet, he also left some food for us - sausages, bacon, eggs, milk, bread etc. Just wonderful. His mum is also super nice. You need a car. There is only one place to eat - O'Dowds pub (100 metres approx. away) however only open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday from lunchtime to 6 pm. Ballaghadareen is about 15 mins away with more options.

Absolutely faultless grate country side getaway on the shore of lough ree. House is perfect clean spacious private with a big open plan living area. Chris and Jude gave such a great experience from checking in to out all very clear instructions and information for all house appliances and utilities. Would definitely recommend.

Upon arrival, Gerry met us and gave us a tour of our accommodations. He also provided us with pertinent information about the town, places to eat/visit. The accommodations were well appointed and very clean. Throughout our stay, Gerry was quick to respond to any of our queries. Definitely recommend staying at his airbnb.

We enjoyed our stay in the spacious and well equipped house that our host Philip arranged for us (due to the power loss cause by a storm in the original house, Philip suggested a Carrick self catering house in Carrick-on-Shannon). Located right in the center, we had a private parking, pubs and restaurants at our doorstep and a view on the beautiful Carrick marina. Philip was very friendly and helped us feel super welcome. All in all, a nice cosy house in a perfect central location.

Comfortable, friendly and easy to follow instructions for getting there.

Immaculate place to stay in the countryside! Beautifully kept rooms and all the modern conveniences provided. Nicola and Michael are very warm and welcoming! They had great tips for dinners out, provided us with wellies for walking about their land, and made sure we were comfortable. The setting is serene and relaxing!! It was a great “home base” for doing genealogy work in neighboring counties, and is well situated for great day trips. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals. Thanks!!

We had a wonderful stay and rented the full space—perfect for our family. Michael and Nicola are everything Airbnb was meant to be: warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Unlike many hosts these days who are remote owners, they live on-site and truly care about their guests. They greeted us with enthusiasm and gave great tips on local sights. Our 6-year-old daughter had an amazing time playing with their daughter (also 6). The property is very family-friendly with a zip line, tennis court, playhouse, trampoline, and two friendly dogs who acted as our guides on peaceful walks. The private suite was quiet and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. This was a personal, memorable experience—highly recommended!

I don’t think the photos do it justice! Beautiful stay will be back x

This place exceeded our expectations, it’s was a lovely apartment! We all slept comfortably. Great view of the Shannon River. We hope to come back again!

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.

Its a great spot and located just perfect. Quiet and comfortable and great for walks in the area. Coming up the driveway to the house shows how much the premises are looked after. The pond, the garden, the grass... Just perfect and so nice. We pay great respect that this house is pet friendly as we had our dog with which was no problem at all. The town itself is just 5 minutes drive away and offers everything you need. We would recommend this house any time.

This place is truly special, both in its setting in a mature countryside meadow on a secluded peninsula in Lough Arrow, as well as in its conversion into a wide and open and full of light living space, with furnishing that are both practical and in harmony with the setting. Mir and Araceli are very welcoming and friendly hosts that are happy to advice on any subject, whether related to the listing or where to go. Due to its remoteness the place is very peaceful and tranquil, but a car is a must. We chose this place to find some peace and quiet in order to recover from a stressful period, and it far exceeded our expectations ― we will definitely be back.

We stayed at Jim's cottage on the 2nd leg of our tour of Ireland, the peace & quiet of this area as well as the local history was much appreciated. We were able to visit two of the O'Rourke castle sites as well as O'Rourke's Table which was a pretty streneous hike but well worth the effort, I only regret not having more time to explore & fish the many canals & lakes in the area. Overall the cottage was nearly perfect for our stay & would definately recommend! Thanks, Jim & Erin Paul Roark

If you have visions of spending time in a cottage in a small Irish village, this is the place! Beautiful, comfortable, and inspirational! Walkable to the train line which runs from Dublin to Sligo so very convenient. A lovely get away.

Our stay at the schoolhouse was fantastic! The house and grounds are beautiful, offering both comfort and amazing views. What made the experience even more special was Marie’s incredible hospitality - everything is thought of and she is most helpful in every way. We will surely be back soon.
